ugh so today's exercise really proved to me i got some work to do to get back to where i was.

why am i so sleepy trying to exercise? and why do i burn out so quickly? i did like 10 minutes of a 40min cardio video, then 20minutes of a 40minute yoga video after giving up on the cardio. it was still a decent workout but i was wiped out.

i think my goal at the moment should be less about losing weight and more about gaining back strength/energy/muscles.

i don't want to let my weaknesses get in the way!

This is where I am as well. I find I have a good few days and am able to push hard but then I crash and need to take a few days off to recover. Need to find the balance of pushing hard enough to challenge me, but not over do it and get over fatigued. It's a challenge as that zone constantly changes. My body is also reacting differently to what I'm used to because of my months out of training and the big change of dropping a kidney. I keep reminding myself that I'm improving, even if it's slow.

Today was a treat day and food choices were not ideal but they were around my upper limit for calories so I'm taking it as a win. I did my physio in the evening which is also a win as I'm normally unable to convince myself to exercise once I'm home for the evening.

Thanks @fitqueenbess, @RangerRickL and @Chinkiri I dropped almost 3 pounds this week, out of nowhere, and reached "normal." I've never lost that much before at once. I've upped my exercise after weeks of almost no activity while I recovered from an injury. Who knows why, but I'll take it!
