I have been doing fairly well at keeping on track with the exercising journey but the past week has been a rough one for me. After I got to go outside and walk outside I ended up getting sick again. Being sick again is also causing me to start down a depression cycle. The holliday season of last year 2023 was a very bad time for me with sickness. The 2 days before Christmas eve I tested positive for covid and that meant that I could not see my immune compromised parents. I figured I would just see them after I was cleared of the covid and do the Christmas stuff like a week late what ever no big deal there. Then my son got sick on that week and I assumed it was covid but took him to the DR to make sure and see if there was anything we needed to do. Well it was not covid he had the Flu so yet agian not something I am willing to spread to my parents. Between the two I ended up seeing my parents in Feburary because everyone kept getting sick. Some how I was the only one that had Covid so that is good but it was Flu then some stomach bug and it just did not end up working out until Feburary. How does this all have to do with my depression and exercising? Well I am mostly a loner but I do enjoy getting together with others for events like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Not being able to do that stuff with my family just got to me and brought up a lot of things that made me not want to do anything. It also was not the first time that not doing a holliday was a thing for me. There was also a few losses in my life in the 2020-2022 time frame that were not easy. There are lots of down emotions with getting sick now and it makes me think about all the events and people that I missed out on over the past few years. Life is short and taking time away from being sick even with something simple the the common cold bring up emotions of loss for me. Getting the day going, sleeping right, eating a proper meal, or worst excercising are all things that are just hard to get done when I feel this way. I can normally get it to pass but its sticking around this time. That is partly why the blog has not been updated in a few days and why I have not proof read my posts either. Things will get better, I will be better but for now I will just keep on going and going until the better is here.
As I eluded to I have not been keeping on the diet very well. I have sort of just let myself eat what ever I want and just keep up with the treadmill. I think I am the only person that likes peeps but I sure like them a lot. They are just sugar and they are not good for you but I will eat all of the peeps that enter my house as no one else wants them. I can not let them go to waste they have to be eaten. Anyway the Eater baskets my kids got had lots of peeps in them for some reason I think the eater bunny might like them too! So yeah I have not cared about the diet but that is okay I have not gained any weight as a result of me eating poorly. I have been keeping on track with the weight mostly. I have not lost as much as I would have hopped but like I figured at the start of the journey a diet would be harder for me to stick to.
The current results of the body composition are promising to me but again grain of salt with the accuracy of it. The Skeletal muscle going up and the fat mass going down as well as the percent body fat going down are all very good things to me. Not to say I trust the accuracy of this but I have been drinking a lot of water recently like way more than I used to so having a higher body water tracks. When I say I drink more water I should say I have been drinking extra water, I have not cut anything out just added more water.
I am off to continue the journey! Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!
