March 8 - 14, 2021
I don't know if my saying last week that I was tired caused me to be more exhausted, or whether I just was, but I tried to practice self-kindness again this week and not push myself/let myself rest when I felt I needed it. Which meant that I didn't have a particularly exciting week:
Monday - 2km walk
Tuesday - strength training + 20 minutes of yoga
Wednesday - rest*
Thursday - rest*
Friday - 40 minutes of yoga
Saturday - 2km walk + strength training
Sunday - 20 minutes of yoga
*As much as I say I "rested" Wednesday/Thursday, it was absolutely gorgeous outside so we took the long-walk for the dog, both days (twice on Thursday!). I don't use my GPS when walking the dog (I really should at least map it out, because I'm kind of curious how long it is), but this was actually really draining and some of the most walking I've done in a while, even when I compare to days with two short walks + a treadmill walk.
I really appreciate everyone's comments about their pregnancies too, knowing that I'm not alone in feeling this way. I don't know if it's because my fitness journey is still so new to me, or if it's because I always have a bit of a tendency to be hard on myself, but it is nice to have a reminder that I can take a break and that I probably should. You're all too kind, so thank you.
