Noticing Some Progress...

Exercise is amazing. I feel better and think better. As for my bodies preference to exercise, my body doesn't have one or at least a noticeable one. Maybe more time will determine if that statement is true. However, I exercised this morning around 10am and I noticed a difference. As the day went on I had this weird mixed feeling. I was somewhat sluggish yet I was very much so energized. I know it sounds oxymoronic but overall; I wouldn't mind exercising in the morning; I just have to get up to do it. =]

I also tried eating pasta after exercising and I felt as if my body responded more healthily. I'm still learning about myself and while its hard at times but I'm staying positive because I know the end result will be worth it.

Change of Plans

I wasn't feeling well this whole week so my workout plan was shot. =[
However, I realized I actually healed better because I got alot of rest and took extra vitamin C. I don't think there was anything I could have done differently. I actually thought I needed to exercise to heal faster but according to "How To Be Fit" I actually was correct in giving my body extra rest.

According to "How To Be Fit", when you're sick, stress is added to your system, which creates body breakdown. This requires your body to use the nutrients you feed it to help release hormones in order to repair the damage.

By me getting more rest than usual, I actually sped up my healing process. Who would have thought that resting could do so much in the long run? Exercise should be back in my schedule sooner than I thought.
