Too Far and Stocking Up.

I mentioned the other day that when you first exercise or just return to exercising, you have to be careful not to overdo it. When exercising you are basically trying to build Muscle, but when building Muscle you are also tearing them and must give them time to heal. I had barely got started on Monday, when I already felt worn out.

It would not be until last night that I would realize I had overdone my exercise. I was barely in bed when Intensive Pain in my Arms, Legs and Chest would tell me, I had gone too far with my exercises. Even an Extra Strength Tylenol did not quell the Pain enough for me to properly sleep. Just a reminder, that I am used to doing this and still messed up.

While we had our breakfast it felt like I kept nodding off. Even Kathy felt tired. When I don’t sleep, she doesn’t sleep. While I was reading Blogs, Kathy was checking what was needed in the Fridge and making a List.

It was after 11:30 when we headed out and with multiple stops ahead, so I added another. Our first stop was Harvey’s (Canadian Chain) for lunch. Luckily, using a Coupon shaved Eight Dollars off the cost.

It was after 12:30 when we headed to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. Mostly just Junk Mail had us heading back to do our shopping. Though we didn’t stop the Gasoline and Diesel Prices have really dropped.

Our stop at Dollarama got nearly everything on that list, only missing my Cough Drops. I got to push the Wheeled Walker that I appreciate.

At Zehr’s grocery store we picked up a few more Vegetables that weren’t on the Shopping List and a case of Verner’s Pop. I’m finding that I am picking up my stride when using the Wheeled Walkers and it’s straightening my poster as well.

To say our Two Wheeled Shopping Cart was overloaded would be an understatement. After getting the Frozen Foods put away, we took a break to catch our breathes.

There’s more warm temperatures heading our way and we’ve got more appointments to deal with as well. The next couple of days could be a blur.

Words of Inspiration

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher

Taking a simple low grade Pain Pill for the second night in a row worked. I do believe that I felt extra Pain due to my Upper Body Exercise yesterday. The goal is not to wait another Four Months before returning, so my muscles won’t have to go through the shock of getting back into the routine again.

We were having breakfast by 9:00, with no real Plans for the day.

We were able to get in more research, that we normally do during the Winter months.

Though I am still using my Cane outside of the Apartment, I’ve been doing some short walks inside, without it. It does take longer to do, but that’s how we first learned to walk.

It seems that our warm temperatures will be sticking around for a bit longer and we shouldn’t see any Rain until next week.

We might go out tomorrow.

Two men meet on opposite sides of a river.

One shouts to the other, “You’ve got to help me get to the other side.”

The other shouts, “You’re already on the other side.”

Instead of taking my Nighttime Mickey last night, I used one of the weaker Pain Pills that had been prescribed to me, when I left the Hospital. It wasn’t until days later that I noticed every one of those medications were actually less powerful than the Extra Strength Tylenol, I had been taking. When the Sleep Aids were not doing anything for me that was when I thought it could be Pain keeping me awake instead. Another word for Discomfort = Pain.

We enjoyed Cereal for breakfast before taking our Tea to the Computers. I mentioned to Kathy the need to go to the Gym as a way of taking care of other Aches and Pains I was experiencing and she could go walking at Walmart.
It was minutes after 11:00 when Kathy dropped me off at Planet Fitness. I was fortunate to be one of the first to enrol at this location when it first open, so holding on to my Membership this entire time actually saved me money. The reason for coming here was all the Resistance Machines they have, which meant I didn’t have to pick up any heavy weights. The Workout Room in our building only has Free Weights and less equipment then we once had in our own Home Gym.

It was only an Hour later when Kathy came to find me. I had the Shopping List so she couldn’t get the groceries. Since it had been nearly Four Months since my last workout, I had already reached my peak.

Instead of going shopping, I insisted that we go have lunch at Wendy’s. One we had Coupons but most important is after exercising the way I had, my Metabolism just destroyed anything I ate for the next Two Hours. We enjoyed our Chicken Sandwiches, which Kathy had with a Side Salad instead of Fries and I had a bowl of Chili in place of the Fries. It was past 1:30 when we headed back to the Car.

We then headed to Princess Auto to get a few things that were “On Sale”. Total bill, was less than $10.00.

We swung by Guardian Storage and found even more Mail waiting for us.

I needed to walk, so we headed back to Walmart. I still used their Shopping Cart as a Wheeled Walker. Our Electric Tea Kettle gave up the ghost when we attempted a second cup this morning. Kathy found another dress top, while I found a pair of shorts to use for Pj Bottoms on these warm evenings.

After not having Exercised for months and now doing so with lots of walking on top, I was starting to feel it. We headed straight home. I barely sat down in my Recliner, before passing out with exhaustion. It was close to an Hour later when I woke up.
It wasn’t until the 6 o’clock Local News was over that we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for supper.

We later watched another Murder Mystery.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
