I am a couch potato. I have been super sedentary in my lifestyle for at least the past year and it's time for me to change. I do enjoy running when I get into it... it's the getting into it that's the hard part!
Today I was supposed to walk for 30 minutes. I was going to do it earlier in the day with my kids, but then realized the stroller had a flat tire. So I put my husband to work fixing it as soon as he got home. After dinner we all went for a walk together as a family. We walked for 35 minutes.
Unfortunately, about thirty minutes before we left, I suddenly began feeling ill: severe headache and nauseousness. I felt that way all day on Sunday, but today had felt just great until just before the walk. I wasn't going to use it as an excuse though. So I went, head pounding. By the time we got back home I was feeling like barfing so after a quick trip to the bathroom (where I did not throw up, thankfully) I went straight to my bed and took a two hour nap. Yes, a two hour nap two hours before bedtime. When I woke up my head was still killing, so I took a pain killer and after about thirty minutes it has finally let up and ah... what a relief!
I realized as I was walking that I want to invest in a headband to wear around my head and over my ears because the tiny chill in the breeze made my ears hurt really bad and we're not even into winter yet. John said I should wear earmuffs. He made fun of me for wanting to wear a sweatband over my ears because that's not what they're for. I don't care. I want a sweatband over my ears.
