When I was younger, I was a big cyclist, I used my bike to get around, even when I had a car. I commuted by bike for years. In the 90's I got into triathlon, just for fun. I was never great, always a mid-packer. I was there I met my wife to be, another triathlete. In 1999, I married her and did Ironman Canada, just for fun.
She turned out to be not a triathlete, she was a narcissist shopping for a victim. I had been raised in a narcissistic family so it wasn't too far away from reality for me. She stopped my training by giving me too much to do around the house, and living on hilltops, something I did not want.
I became diabetic around her, it was one of many diseases I caught from being with her. I divorced her in 2022, and doctors pronounced my diabetes was finished, I could go back to a normal eating routine. Earlier this year the doctors started talking diabetes to me again, and I am back to the old routine. This time they are talking more about exercise, apparently the drugs are not working as well as last time.
After the divorce, I was quite sick with inflammation, and emotional problems. Coming off that, I find myself the most weak I have ever been. Injuries have flared up from the weakened body.
Thanks to diabetes, I am trying to get back on the horse. I don't want to go the distances I used to, but 1/2 or 1/4 will do. I am trying to get started, but a 15 minute ride or 7500 steps is enough. I did a hike of rolling hills, 10,000 steps over the weekend and was overtrained. I am sitting back, letting my body heal today.
I am curious has anybody dealt with this and gotten better? I cannot ever remember being this weak.
