After yesterdays blog post I was thinking about the things I am more grateful for in my life. So, I started a list. The first thing I wrote on my list was my health. It seemed liked a good place to start; without being healthy many things in life become much more difficult.
With my new inspiration, I decided to start some yard tasks I have been avoiding. It felt great to see the progress of my labors and I was proud of my accomplishments at the end of the day. Then, after dinner it started. PAIN!
I naturally thought, ‘oops, over did it’ but the pain was relentless. Nothing I could do seemed to relieve it. I considered that it may be a heart attack, but then dismissed this thought. The reality is that I have let my body become a body at rest. The movement and exertion were too much for my sedentary body.
The moral of my story is, be smart be safe, and remember if you haven’t been active in a while, don’t over do it. Go slow! Reintroduce (or introduce) your body to exercise at a reasonable pace. Learn from my mistake 🙂
