This is worrying...
The one thing that people say is very important to do, aside from getting good sleep and eating healthy is.... exercise.
But with my current period of horrendous depression, coupled with anxiety and a form of agoraphobia, where I can't seem to go much further than the shops, exercise eludes me. I tell my psychologist that I hate being lazy, but she reassures me that during periods of intense depression, the lack of motivation is very high, and we need that motivation to try and break the cycle...
So I am kind of stuck in a Catch 22 situation at the moment.
I wish I knew why my VO2 Max has ALWAYS been so low. This is why I find sudden intense exercise almost impossible, but can do long steady bushwalks and hiking daily well. I have the stamina, but not the ability to handle anything where y heart rate and breathing need to work hard quickly.
But as you can see from the trend, the last few weeks of sedentary behaviour has had a marked impact in a negative way on my overall stats... and I need to try and overcome this. I think, at the moment, being in a sort of limbo doesn't help, and perhaps when I know the outcome of my current situation, I may be able to start pushing myself...
Because you know I certainly didn't push myself to do anything today...
I need to reverse these figures!
