Tired?

So I went for a walk, it was awesome and totally craptastic all at once. Its all up hill and downhill which is just an ass kicking good time, but it really felt like abuse today. I think mostly because I have been so sedentary for so long that it was a bit of a push. I had to pee halfway through, then got a headache and overall it did not feel so good. However, when I got home I remembered why I like working out, because there is that accomplished, in control feeling when its over. I know it’ll get easier too, this was my first long walk and I’m all weezy now clearing up all that shit that was just sitting in my chest. I’m rather excited to progress!

So in other news I got to use my new ipod’s pedometer. So frickin awesome! There is a calender on it that tells me how many steps I did today, how long it took me as well as start/end time, calories burned and then even tells me my weekly and monthly total of steps. I can put in goals too and it’ll tell me how I’m meeting them. This probably isn’t news to anyone, but hey, I am super stoked!

So I was wondering how other people feel after exercise. I hear a lot of how people get energized and really pumped after, but for me I am always exhausted and ready for a nap, does anyone else feel this way?? If so, how do you combat it?

  3. enoughfluff answered: is that pedometer program on the new classic ipod? or just the new nanos? I need to check mine! It sounds awesome.
