Taking care

Got on my bike tonight.  I was originally planning to get up this morning and go through everything, but I felt horrible.  Massive headache.  I had a doctor appointment today and she put me on an easy over the counter remedy but also talked to me about my current emotional and mental state as well as my stress level.  It was really nice to talk to a medical professional about how I'm doing.  She says I'm doing everything right.  That was really helpful to hear.

So tonight, instead of doing something that someone else wanted, I cancelled and did what I needed.  I ate a good dinner and got onto my bike and did my workout for today.  I'm on an easy fitness routine and a simple calorie-based diet.  I warmed up for 5 minutes on my bike and then did some core workouts.  After that, I warmed up and then did two minutes in big ring, one minute recovery, two minutes high cadence, one minute recovery and a final two minutes in big ring with a recovery and a cool down.  I was sweating pretty hard by the end of it.  I'm looking forward to getting myself back into a strong cycling position for next year.  Baby steps.
