rosebeeI've made a couple of private entries this weekend, tracking what I thought were side effects from a new medication my doctor started me on (I started it on Saturday). The hope is that this winter I will have just as much energy & motivation to do things as I normally have (like in the late spring & summer). Hopefully it will also keep me from having to do quite so much time with my lightbox each morning.
Well the last couple of days I've been just a sloth. No energy to do much of anything. I've had weird soreness in my quadricep muscles, too. I chalked it all up to strange side effects.
Turns out I was wrong. I increased my light from 20 minutes to 30 minutes this morning. I had enough energy to get the dishes almost done (if I had more time I'd wash the big things that won't fit in the dishwasher). And I've almost got the laundry put away. I think the sore muscles are nothing more than my body telling me I need to get out and exercise. I'm going to go for a good walk at lunch, and we'll see what that does. I might even pull out an exercise dvd when I get home from work tonight.
I have energy, and bounciness!! :D
I wish I had figured this (that I needed more time on my lightbox) out on Saturday! I could've gotten a lot more done! I thought about going for a bike ride (or rather I thought it'd be nice), but it never progressed beyond that stage. It's supposed to sprinkle today, and I still haven't bought fenders for my bike so I'm not bicycling in to work today (plus if I was I should've left the house 25 minutes ago).
I like having energy!! It's a nice feeling! :)
