Whew! It is HOT out there!I went to camp on Monday evening and gave it my all...well, at least the all my body would allow! I went home, cooked dinner for my family, and sat down near the air conditioner to try to cool off. It just wasn't happening. I ran some lukewarm water in the tub and hopped in...nope. Then I had chills followed by nausea and a migraine headache. The headache was BAD! It didn't become bearable until about 4 am and it didn't go away completely until late Tuesday evening.
You may be wondering why in the world I chose to workout in the heat...and to be real honest, that is what I was thinking as I was trying to figure out how to make that headache go away. The honest answer is I don't like to get up early. I decided that I would set myself up to fail if I continued to go to the evening camp, so I am going to start going in the mornings. I do not like to get up, but I hate having migraines and throwing up...so...
I am trying to drink enough water, but it is difficult. I am trying to listen to my body, but I am a people pleaser and when someone tells me to push I am going to push. I am trying to be okay doing modified exercise, but it hurts my pride. I am trying to not be prideful...so, one step at a time. Mornings are cooler and I will be able to continue to go to to camp.
This morning, I ventured out before most of my neighbors were awake. I drove on empty streets. I went to camp. I stopped on my warm up lap to watch the birds and listen to them sing, I smiled. I warmed up. I worked out...better than I have in weeks. I have decided that it is going to be okay, this whole getting up early thing will not kill me. I will miss the folks at the evening camp, but will go back when the temperatures drop again...until then, I am working my plan and meeting my goals. Are you working your plan and meeting your goals?
Be blessed!
