Flare-up

Saturday I woke up and felt like I had hit a wall. So exhausted and pulsing pain in my legs and arms. I slept most of the day and was still too sore Sunday to go to church. I was really hoping I would not flare-up my fibromyalgia, but it happened, so I am having to re-think my exercise plan.

I think it was the walking that caused the flare-up. The weight lifting has been easy to keep slow and easy. Walking was hard to keep it the same each time (especially when you are suppose to increase and decrease the intensity throughout your workout, per Body For Life).

I felt better this AM and went to 5 Points and worked out on an recumbent bike. On that I am able to work out at a specific speed and resistance (and increase and decrease the intensity), something I can reproduce each time. So I am taking it slow and easy and building slowly. I'm a little discouraged but I am still committed to make it work. And not too thrilled to have to get up at 5 am three days a week.
