Day 9 Stats: Pilates, 30 minutes

Sore from Day 8's class & exercise, so I chose the soothing Pilates.

Day 10 Stats: Pilates, 30 minutes

Day 12 Stats: Walked, 38 minutes (2 miles)

Walked the track. It was 50-something degrees. Should have been a good day to walk outside. But, the wind was terrible and took any warmth I could generate away. Ended up cold to the bone!

After getting home, I spent the next 4 hours on the couch, under numerous blankets, trying to get warm. At one point, J vacated his spot on the couch at my feet. Haley was quick to take his place. He ended up sitting between Haley & I, under the blankets, with my legs over his lap. At that point, with J sharing his warmth under the blankets, I finally started to warm up.

Since Saturday, I have been in a lot of pain. Most likely due to allowing myself to get so cold. What more evidence do I need? Basically, I'm good for pretty much nothing. Plus, I hurt too bad to exercise.

Decisions:

I have decided to abandon my attempt at the 100 Day Challenge. With my issues, I need rest days. My body just isn't capable. If I've learned nothing else, I do know I have to listen to my body & follow it's cues.

At this point, I am really struggling. I'm so tired of feeling exhausted. I'm tired of being in pain. I'm tired of sleeping ridiculous amounts of hours. I'm tired of being cold constantly. And, I am scared! If something doesn't change, I'm afraid that depression will begin setting in. I'm already struggling with my positive outlook.
