Had a bad day (food/emotionally) and I took a day off working out (bad allergies). Today, work out day. I have to stop the initial thoughts of "I can't do it" or "My lungs can't handle it". I know I can do it because I have been doing it for the last few months! Don't know where these thoughts are coming from. My lung issue..well I have been coughing the last few weeks every time I exercise (yea exercise induced asthma) but it passes and exercise will only help the issue. I have been taking my inhaler for the last 3 days (7 day treatment) and that has helped.
So, today instead of setting my elliptical timer to 32 minutes (2 minutes for warm up/cool down) I went ahead and set it for 43 minutes as I had planned to before having two off days. Why? Because I could do 32 minutes and I wasn't very tired. Plus, I did that two days in a row. I know I can handle it. Still that little voice says "your lungs are going to hurt again" So, I told it to shut up and if it was really a problem, I can always slow down or press the cancel button and to stop being stupid.
It worked, my lungs were fine and I burned 400+ calories and built up a good sweat. I still felt I could do a bit more. It felt like my muscles were actually enjoying it after the initial warm up. Going to keep it at 43 minutes for a bit and see how I do.
As for walking out doors. Thinking I will still do a mile in the morning, mile in the evening. My dog needs a break from all the walking this summer (sore muscles I think) so it is enough to keep him in shape (weather pending). It is getting too cold for him. I love this weather though. Need to get a warm hat.
Feeling more positive today. Love that I burned off my breakfast and then some. Yea for me!
