My Fitbit reports the sad truth I already know: I am not getting enough exercise during the work week. I know, Fitbit, I know.
Saturday I was feeling pretty sorry about the state of my exercise plan — if you can even call it that — so I decided to do the very first workout of the Couch to 5k plan. I added a slight variation by choosing a there-and-back route that is first downhill, thinking that the endorphins would start to kick in around the halfway mark, making the uphill struggle less dramatic.
It worked! I made it! I felt great! Well, to be honest, I felt horrible first, and then great.
Saturday night was consumed by fire, no lie: part of our neighbors’ house caught on fire, and so we helped out as best we could, providing moral support and a safe place to rest while the fire department handled the scary parts. We didn’t sleep well that night, the smell of smoke still lurking in the house, and yesterday was frayed at the edges by worry. This morning I continued in my running restart, but didn’t get the endorphin high I was expecting.
Fitbit tells me I am not getting enough sleep each night, something I already knew but hated to confirm. I would like Fitbit to adjust for nightmares about catching on fire.
