The last couple of days I have been fighting one of the worst migraines I have had in the 27 years I have had to deal with them. I had to drag myself to the doctor today for a little relief.
When the doctor and I were going over my migraine history I mentioned to her that my migraines have not been as bad since I introduced exercise back into my life. I told her I was sidelined due to my ankle and I have noticed an increase in my migraines not to mention all my other aches and pains.
She asked me if I would be going back to exercise. My answer “ABSOLUTELY”! For a moment I was surprised how quickly that one word came out of my mouth and then I realized I have finally made a life change for the better. Exercise is a part of me and without it I don’t feel complete.
The endorphin’s from exercise have made my quality of life better. I am happy, confident and my pain threshold is higher. My migraines have cut back and my back pain is not as intense, not to mention the added bonus of weight loss. I never realized how effective those natural endorphin’s were in my life until these last 6 weeks.
I have had moments of doubt in myself as to whether or not I could succeed in my quest for a fitter me. I now have clarity and know that I will continue to better myself mentally as well as physically with my boot camp family.
My Kinesiology Tape showed up today, I can’t wait to tape up the ankle and get back in the game, not tonight but real soon!
Great attitude. The challege becomes harder as the distance between worksout increases. Habit is very important to sticking with something and have a support group.
So true! My support group is bootcamp and my health is motivation to get right back in the game.
