Movement update (20261113)
A followup on my previous post regarding changing my mindset, building while in recovery...
Two months of trying this and i honestly didn't feel as if i'd made much headway. The lack of consistency really does change my perception of what's going on, even after coming to the realization that old forms of habits just weren't going to be sustainable going forward.
But. Contrary to what my emotions were trying to tell me, this has gone so well that yesterday i took two walks (10 and 20 minutes) during the day AFTER having walked/stood for 50 minutes the evening prior to walk to the nearest grocery store! This is amazing progress!
It isn't often that i have two days in a row where i feel up to those levels of movement, but three months ago just the walk to the store, a quick shop, and walking home again would have knocked me on my ass for at least one day afterwards. And that's even if it would've been possible at all (debatable).
To get back-to-back days with decent energy is such a gift. Not being too sore to move on the second day is chef's kiss.
