Stress and Exercise

So this has been kicking my butt and I haven't even done all of it since I am still too out of shape. It's only day four and I am sore all over. Not terribly sore, just low grade, kinda sore. The good kind where you know you have actually done something. I used her stretching challenge to try to get back to myself during my recovery so I decided to give this a try. Like I said, it is only a try...

Work is, well, work. I forgot it how much it took from me. I sit down to do the schedule and immediately I want gummy raspberries. Or any kind of candy. And then I break out and get sore all over and loose all my energy from the sugar rush. I am still fighting with this cycle. But fighting means I have to sleep more to stress less. I can feel myself slipping into all my old habits and cycles. It's insidious and a bit scary. But I am attempting this exercise challenge! I am still working on getting enough sleep. I hate missing anything...I am nosey and a know-it-all. So there is a huge possibility that I wouldn't get the most out of my own life if I fall asleep and things happen while I am unconscious... my very own brand of crazy. I used to blame it on boys- staying up all night attached to my phone texting or talking. But since I am alone now, I see it is probably just me. Ah, the tangled webs we weave when trying to keep ourselves from greatness. Or just even okayness.
