I did a body scan and a standing yoga pose. I did Crawling for Adults and Semi supine. I did a 5 minute child pose as well.

Added 45 minute walk.

7km on the x-trainer followed by a 5km run. Then to the park with Lily... been an active start to the day.

After three long days of work and rest, I completed one hour of spin and I practiced my chin ups... :).

@anthony - it's so helpful to have this type of thread where we can talk about the times we do see when PTSD tries to drag us down. It's ... 'normalizing' I guess for lack of a better word.

My physical conditioning and workouts are so tied in with my emotional state/ptsd management that I do notice when my mood stumbles. The most major effect of it shows up in my workouts and stamina.

OK - Friday - in town for the Pan Am games - I got to see more events than I can name as well as athletes I have been watching in their sports over the past few years - it was magnificent. But not enough time for workouts as I spent my time watching others do theirs. But still a 3k run with Homer topped off with a cooling lake swim.

Saturday - Sports at the Pan Ams and then a 30k bike ride around the outside of the stadium.
Sunday, rest day - boy I needed a rest day.
Monday, a heat wave here - inside treadmill run 12k
Tuesday, continued heat wave, swim with Homer, no run or ride today. Really bad air quality right now.

Be safe out there.

A nice 7kms on the x-trainer (increased intensity) followed with a 5km run. A respectable 1100 calories burnt.

Awesome job everybody! Everyone's activities sound so worthwhile and inspiring.

I wasn't feeling to good before spin tonight, so I opted for just a bootcamp. In hopes to sweat it out. However it only made it worse. This lady has a cold! Chicken noodle soup it is.

I was able to walk further today, all the way to the drug store and back. I also carried a heavy package home with me. That counts too, right? I did notice that there was some pain in the area of my surgery, as if it was complaining about energy being used for something other than healing. I will rest the rest of the day and make it up to that section of my body!

A couple heavy months, where I got really bad, hurt my wrist, was really depressed and stuff. And then, a week of extreme stress, I went up 5kg, feeling like shit. Trying to exercise more and stuff, but I can't stop overeating.

But a better side of that is that somehow I also got a bit stronger during that time. And I hope, really really hope, that I might be able to pull out of this overeating/depression death dive and somehow exercise enough to shift into being stronger.

Over 8000 steps on the Fitbit yesterday by sitting in the ambulance for four hours during a transfer on a really bad dirt road. I guess I did not wear off the Reese's Puffs I had for breakfast.....

I nursed my cold with a relaxing rest day yesterday and lots of vitamin C.

Feeling much better today, so I took my little one out for a 7k bike ride and enjoyed the evening doing an hour bootcamp.
