Kat brought up a good point, I am on a moderate to low dose of Prednisone for my asthma right now. I was able to go and lift weights and do a light cardio work out today. It felt good. I think my quads are going to give me some grief tonight. I am finding that with the weather change, I am a bit more stiff than usual.
I am glad that I have the ability to work out on my lunch time. I love that I can go home and be with my family in the evenings. The girls see me working at my diet and hear me talk about my work outs. Then I have the time after they go to bed to get things done, like crocheting sweaters, saucing apples, or just sitting and watching TV w/ my lover. I am finally, for the first time that I can remember, having some balance in my life; I am getting what I need through working out, I am able to be there for my family, and I am able to be at work more because my chronic conditions are more easily controlled when they have an exacerbation.
So even tired, grumpy, and not feeling up to snuff, I can feel the improvements in my body. I can feel that I am stronger physically and emotionally. I am clearer and less discombobulated. I am more motivated, more engaged, more grounded. I feel more on top of my game and not like I'm going to pass out on the field. I am not where I was a couple of weeks ago, but I can still feel the strength and feed off of it. I actually have something to feed on :) The bank is beginning to fill rather than be depleted.
I am strong, I am invincible, I am ME!
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
