Honestly, I did not feel so hot for a big chunk of today. It's hard to describe. I can't tell if it was physical or emotional--it was simply disconcerting and I wished I felt better. In times like these I like to do cardio or CrossFit because it is sort of my way of saying, "If I'm gonna blow a gasket, then fine, otherwise leave me alone." Maybe I'm just depressed, although I don't seem to have much reason to be. I'm so glad I no longer smoke or drink. I'd feel so much worse! I think some of it is physical but the rest is in my head. I needed the break but I hope not to need one for a while. I ended up praying it away. Prayer works!
They've fixed my favorite elliptical trainer at the YMCA. I can use it to train my pose-running muscles with less impact, which is good because at this weight, even a moderate amount of treadmill beats me up too much. I'd like to have working knees when I'm 65. I hope to spend more time in the gym over the coming weeks, pushing as hard as I can in CrossFit and working outside there as well. I'm hoping to remember to do my measurements tomorrow morning and send them to the trainers to see if my block prescription needs to change.
