Giving my body time to adjust
Last week I was feeling good and did a Good Friday challenge. Height of Mount Snowdon on a stair master and sort of enjoyed it. Tapered to 7mg on Monday and did usual swim, gym and dog walking and thought I might do a challenge on Wednesday. Swim, spin bike and then a curved treadmill and anyone that has used one of those will understand I was pretty exhausted afterwards. Felt a bit tired on Thursday but went to the gym and just did weights and felt awful after. Had a think about it in afternoon, was it just my body saying should have rested silly woman or PMR saying I am here you know. Quite obvious now on Friday morning 5th day of 7mg and feeling back to normal. I should have given my body more time to get used to the 7mg so lesson learnt, next time I will wait 5 days after reducing to do a challenge.

@tiateacake, Our body does definitely remind us when we have too much fun 🙃. For me, it sometimes falls on deaf ears and fun takes over.
