Reality check

Day 36

I’m still feeling really good mentally, but physically…ugh. My Achilles really hurt, along with the arch of one foot and suddenly both knees. I don’t know if this is actually the case, but it FEELS like I just weigh so dang much that my supporting structures are wearing out. (I wish I had an anti-gravity treadmill. What could that cost, $20, $30?)

In an effort to report that my strength has improved in 24 days (at the end of two Whole30s), I found a weight-lifting program on YouTube that I like and have done it a couple of times. So I’m hoping I’m actually just a little tired from yesterday’s workout and not riding a downward spiral into owning a recliner with a lift feature.

On the plus side—because I really am doing quite well from the thighs up—I have made a ton of progress on decluttering and am still going strong there. I have been giving things to people from my Buy Nothing group, which takes a little longer than dumping it all at a thrift store but is much more satisfying and seems better for the world.
