It's been a hard week. I can't workout at all... like, we're talking not even walking. I attempted a 10min walk to the neighborhood playground, 20min rest while kid played, and 10min slow walk back... and was so exhausted I slept for 14 hours the next day. It's a really tough existence.
I've been injured enough to be able to cope with not running, but I cope by lifting. That's too intense for my post-COVID fatigue body right now. If I can't lift I walk. Even a 15min walk is, evidently, too much for me. If I can't walk, I do yoga. Yoga is a challenge because twisting my arm a certain way hurts my wrist, as do many of the poses I gravitate towards. If I can't do yoga, I spend more time with my family. I can't do that because I'm really in fatigue mode. I sleep 10-12 hours a night, work part-time, and then come home exhausted to the point where I just go right into my basement bedroom and sleep for another 12 hours.
I'm too tired to do any of these things. I can't even use my right wrist yet because it's still sprained from the hike almost a month ago. I can't drink because of the anti-inflammatory meds I'm on for that. It's just a vicious downward cycle right now...
Sigh.
