You know the exercise gurus who say exercise gives you energy? They're full of it.
Well, I'm sure it will happen e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y. But I started walking this week, and I ain't feelin' no energy yet. All I'm feeling is *yawn* the struggle to stay awake. Literally. My son has the day off of school today and he has his friend over. I had dozed off on the couch and he came to me and said, "Mom, can we have some graham crackers and milk?" I mumbled something resembling "yes" and dozed off again. I finally woke enough to check on them and found out they had eaten a whole package of graham crackers (not a whole box, just a pack), half a jar of peanut butter, and they polished off the rest of the milk. And it's not even lunch time yet.
I'm glad they didn't ask me for the keys to the car.
You'd think maybe this has something to do with the fact that I'm taking a 30-minute power walk at 6 AM. But, I usually get up at 6:15 or 6:30 anyway, so what's the big deal? And I'm usually in bed by 9:30 or 10?
But yet, I ain't feelin' that fabulous energy you're supposed to get from exercise. I hope it happens soon or I might be sending some hate mail to Jillian Michaels.

It doesnt give me energy either. Yesterday I played tennis with a friend and slept better than I had in weeks
ReplyDeleteHa! I exercise hard almost every day (for at least an hour) and fall asleep on the couch around 9 pm. But, Ii do sleep very well, and feel more energetic while I'm awake. Your body will adjust and get more in shape and you will learn to LOVE it :)
