The workday is done and I'm feeling confident.
I was doing punch list work today.
Caulking and painting door Jambs.
Rolling out a big ceiling. And began touching up the walls.
Was working by myself. I started out slow and nervous from a lacking confidence in my skills. Because my body and mind we're rusty.
Once I was reaccustomed to my tools and the job. My confidence and skills came right back :)
I will say that the 1/2 Vicodin before work lasted me all workday long and even now. It made things much easier for me.
Now I'm excited. The fire burns inside to return to what I love to do.
I know its unusual to hear, but as my workday progresses I become happier and happier. Until I am enjoying what I do so much I lose track of time and stay an hour over quitting time :cry:
I feel worn out for the first time in 6 months from activity. The work wasn't difficult. My body is just weak now. Today was the first step of getting it all back.
Im gonna have to push hard to get all my muscle weight back. Everytime I resume activity after a period of inactivity. I drop 10-15lbs while my body consumes it's fat. Then slowly month by month I gain small increments of muscle.
So to prepare for this. On the initial day you must stay fed with good food.
My breakfast was a protein shake.
My lunch had greek yogurt, salmon, jar of peaches,honey & oat bars. Drink was water.
I'm on the verge of falling asleep where I lay at home. I know I need to eat but the urge to fall asleep is overwhelming. I guess it's time for a shower then. Maybe a quick protein shake.
