Two days of exercise and I feel so much better.

Thursday I walked a mile and a half with my husband. A little norther had blown through during the day. It wasn't strong enough to change the daytime temperature very much, but it made the evening quite pleasant. It was disappointing to be tired after walking such a short distance; but I will get stronger.

Friday I did a lot of stretching and isometric exercises. My abdomen is still tender, so I didn't do very well with sit ups, but the other exercises went well. Today I will walk again.

I wrote a blog a few months ago about how exercise was statistically almost as good as prescription medication for alleviating depression. I don't know if was primarily the antibiotics of the lack of exercise, but I have been snappy and impatient. I know I'm not myself when I use a sharp tone with my students.

After two days of moderate exercise, I feel more like myself. I'm eager to get back to Type O strenuous exercise, but I know I will be wiser if I phase it in as my strength increases.
