I could so easily trot right upstairs and fall asleep. Of course, that would mean I'd be awake at 2am and cursing...sigh. <br /><br />The being-unproductive part for me was difficult. I mean, I had NO PROBLEM watching TV and poking around the garden, but I did have that inner voice telling me I was lame and needed to get off my ass. (DAMN YOU, INNER VOICE!)<br /><br />So far, exercise has helped...a bit. Must keep at it. My husband is a helluva guy. He's even doing the Swank Diet with me. That cancels out the annoying perkiness (and to be fair, he's usually not chipper before 2 cups of coffee!).Ms. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-71148569828326973382013-06-24T16:58:40.063-04:002013-06-24T16:58:40.063-04:00My goodness, I know.

However, it being 4:30pm, I knew this was unwise. I've forced myself downstairs to blog, which is a mental exercise for which I am ill equipped! But I must keep up!<br />Ms. CrankyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639705108258882767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-21771200740904218872013-06-24T16:57:02.110-04:002013-06-24T16:57:02.110-04:00What the...?

From my research when I was fighting my insurance company over my fatigue issues, I learned that fatigue is The Number One reason for MS disability. It is a major issue (which, of course, any of us could've told these researchers!). Personally, I couldn't work regularly even half-time now, let alone <i>50 hours a week</i>. Yike! But we are all different. And, of course, the practical rewards of a paycheck and being productive are not insignificant. I really do hope you adjust well and that exercise helps. I really do. Good luck with it all. Even if you didn't have the @#$%! MS, it would still be a hell of an adjustment. And it's so nice that your hubby is so supportive. What a good guy! <br /><br />However, being around that much perkiness and cheer at dawn... <i>**shudder**</i>...!Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-16940864941732292452013-06-21T15:54:05.561-04:002013-06-21T15:54:05.561-04:00Your description of a workout is so funny...why do...Your description of a workout is so funny...why do we avoid it when we know we might feel better??

I used to work full time, so I know it's possible to do w/o dissolving into a puddle of jello (same goes for exercise). <br /><br />Many thanks for your kind thoughts on my VIGOROUS EXERCISE REGIMEN.

You WILL have more energy, promise!<br /><br />The hardest part of exercising is getting started. Once you begin you will be good to go!

Thanks for saying it for me (I didn't want to overstate it myself, or appear as if I were angling for sympathy).<br /><br />That word is one I haven't heard before, but I am instantly incorporating it into my vocabulary. Love it! As for why things that are good for us suck, I wish I knew...it IS true, though, isn't it? Blast!

No, really, it is nice to have someone to motivate me; otherwise, I'd be glued to this couch. <br /><br />So far, there haven't been any hideous working hours. One late night and one early morning, but that's it. I think it's more the entire change in lifestyle that's worn me out! Sad, really! <br /><br />Don't be too inspired just yet. I'd hate for you to lift the kettlebell only to have me fall off the wagon. Two days in a row, though...very promising!!

It would (partly) explain why you are more tired than anyone in the history of the world.<br />I suspect this word is going to be familiar. <b>Exhaustipated</b> - too tired to give a shit.<br />Congrats on the exercise front.
