Hey, gorgeous friend! One day a month ago, I felt like crying. I've always been strong and with flexible muscles and joints, but since COVID-19, that started to change progressively, helped by the sedentary lifestyle and weight gain that I'm gradually getting rid of. Recently, I realized that I must learn to ride a motorcycle--long story for another chapter--. The thing is that the motorcycle I'm about to buy weighs almost 100 kg, much more than my bike of course (which should weigh about 15 kilos or less), plus on a motorcycle, you can't control your speed as when riding a bike. All this made me realize that I had physical limitations that I had to take care of urgently or I would end up prostrate in ten years. Yesterday I felt comfortable enough to take my first lessom and I could control the metalic beast, fortunately, and thanks to some changes in my daily habits, which include drinking masala chai every morning (skipping the milk sometimes).
You are thin and look in excellent physical condition, but it doesn't surprise me that you have experienced joint pain, since the post COVID-19 times are weird, and I see how my friends, younger than me and who do much more exercise than I do, complain of joint pain and more; some of them have even developed some heart condition. I'm glad to have found a formidable ally in spices, especially turmeric and ginger because I really like them a lot.
Have a great day, my beautiful friend, and let me know when you have a cup of masala chai. Cheers! ❤️
I actually lost ten pounds since going back to work. Since then I hurt one shoulder that is worse now, and causing me to have other pains. I just keep going and enduring the pain. It is terrible. I know one thing, it's going to be chai for me as soon as I get some black tea. I want to substitute some of the coffee times for chai since it comes with a concoction of tasty medicinal spices.
I am terrified of motor bikes. Actually I'm terrified of bikes too. Here the cyclists are insane and they will run you over if you are in the way. No kidding.
Take care my friend.❤️
That's what I did 👌🏻
I'm not that skilled or bold as to go fast on my bike 🙈 So you don't have to be afraid of me. I brake at least twice in the same block, haha. My husband is patient with me. Poor thing 🤭
We have no bicycle lanes almost anywhere here. It sometimes happens that cyclists are hit by cars or "inconvenienced" by pedestrians. I lost a good friend, a professional cyclist, a couple of years ago; he was killed when he was hit by a drunk driver (early in the morning!).
I hope your pains go away soon! 🙏🏻
