The never-fading rain in your heart

I am loving the new album by Nightwish.

It's snowing again, been snowing for hours. I loved having everything clear and here we are again with snow down. I would have loved to be able to go for a walk tomorrow. As it is I did another full round of exercise today, despite still being sore. It was hard, but no harder than it was for me when I was getting back into it after being ill. I'm not sure if I'm pushing too hard, I plan to do a repeat on Sunday, but I will change those plans if my body seems unable to handle it. I'm tired tonight and enjoying it again, it is pleasant for muscles to feel so worked. I need to watch myself tho and make sure I don't start wearing myself down by doing too much. I want to get stronger, not burn myself out. If my energy levels start slacking then I will need to tone things down, but for now I'm going to keep going with this week's plan. I don't mind achy muscles as long as I have lots of energy, but if I start feeling fatigued then I know that's a warning sign. I ate basically all my APs today, I want to make sure I get enough fuel. I'm also being very careful this week about getting at least two servings of protein in each day, got to repair those achy muscles after all! The problem is that my afternoon protein comes from beans of some kind, and having gotten away from beans for quite a while there, now that I'm having them every day I'm having to cope with various side effects. The one that bothers me most is that I've been having bouts of heartburn in the late afternoon. It was really bad on two particular days, and those two days I'd had red kidney beans, first time in a couple months at least. I'm thinking that if they're going to do that to me then I won't be buying them any more. I had chick peas today instead but ate everything else the same, and felt okay. I'm not too bothered tho, I've never been fond of red kidney beans, it's just that they're convenient. I'll have to see how mixed beans go. I don't want to be having heartburn, especially bad like that, it actually made me have to stop exercising for a while the other day till it went away. It feels really weird now when something isn't right with my body, and I've been wondering if my body goes from day to day now without anything out of the ordinary causing problems and making issues and whether I've just gotten used to that. Would be wonderful, if it were true.

Earned 11 APs today: 30 min walk aerobics (2-mile), 20 min core, 15 min lower body, 50 min shoulders, 35 min biceps/triceps, 15 min chest.
