Yesterday I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a very slow truck—shoulders, thighs, even my hands. No workout to blame; I'd done a gentle walk and then nothing.
Old me would have spiraled: Is this the med? Am I inflamed? Should I panic? New me opened my spreadsheet. Weight was up 1.4 lb from yesterday, but my 7-day average is down 0.3 and my 30-day is still sloping the same gentle way.
I took a warm shower, drank extra water, used a heating pad on my low back, and kept dinner simple. By afternoon the ache had faded to background noise.
I don't know what caused it—sleep was rough, weather flipped cold, and I'd pushed my usual errands into one day. I'm noting it in my symptom log but not letting one sore morning write the story.
If you track, do you log body aches as a separate row or just a note?
