I have started multiple posts the past few days and get side tracked and not post them. I swear the more energy that I get from my life changes, the more sidetracked I get. My mind is going so fast and I get working on so many things that it is hard to complete the tasks. I am not complaining though! I love the energy, I love feeling good and nothing is that serious that it's causing any big problems...so my bathroom gets partially cleaned or I don't make my blog post. Not a big deal.
So what's been going on here?
Sunday I received m first dose of the Covid vaccine. It wasn't bad at all! Seriously, it was a little poke and I couldn't even tell where the needle went in, it was so quick, I couldn't even tell that anything was injected in my body AND I didn't even bleed or need a bandage! But as the day went on things change a bit...I could visibly see where I was injected, I started getting arm & upper body pain and I feel asleep early that night. Monday, my arm was swollen, red and hurt but the upper body pain was gone. I did lack my normal energy and ended up taking a nap. I wasn't going to do my daily workout but I pushed through it and honestly the arm pain went away - working out helped more than taking Tylenol. Now three days later, my arm is still red & puffy where I received the injection but almost no pain at all (only if I hit into something on accident). My second dose is at the end of March.
I started my second program with Beach Body on Demand...it is called Barre Blend. It is an 8 week program. I have done a few days of the prep video's and today I did Day 3 of Phase1, Week 1. It kicks my BUTT!!! I am loving this workout!!! This week our temps here in Michigan have gotten into the 40's...that means some outdoor activity for me - I am planning on getting out for a walk at some point today! SO excited about that!!!
I have also been trying some new low carb foods lately. I need to get some more reviews up here because there have been some great stuff!!! I am really digging some of these different chopped salads that I find at the different grocery stores that I have been to.
I will definitely work on getting better with documenting my journey & accomplishments on here!
I hope you have a lovely day!
