I have been taking a walk for my health and to lose weight. While my main exercise has been walking I have added other things as well. I go swimming, workout on the rowing machine now and then, the treadmill once in a while. All the other exercises are to break up the monotony. I know if I get bored I will quit….
I just spent a week with my lovely granddaughter. I adore having her but she is five and has a lot of energy that I don’t have. It was a good test of my lung power though. We went swimming every day. Got in a good hour or so of exercise every day. Where I live has two pools, one…
For some reason I did not want to write about this weight loss today. I almost feel a bit whiny. I know I am not. I am on a Journey that perhaps others are on, maybe not. Yet, I still feel as if I am bothering everyone with my thoughts on weight loss and what is going on with me. Maybe it is…
I went dirt bike riding this weekend. Well, that certainly does give the illusion that I was going sideways around corners and flying off the top of dirt hills that have been expertly groomed and speeding down tracks that have been watered to minimize any dust there may be. While I have nothing against that type of riding, I am…
Some kids at the park heckled me as I huffed and puffed my way around the park. They called me fatty. They yelled at me “ run fatty run”. Bullies. My first thought was to go over and grab them by the neck and choke the living shit out of them. My second thought was I have no energy or…
Good Golly my thighs hurt. They hurt worse than when I don’t take my magnesium and my legs cramp. Yep that bad. And the worse part? It will continue. Yes, I am exercising and I did lunges and squats…..aaaaagh. My first year living with lung disease I was sick, A LOT, and when I wasn’t sick, I was recovering from…
I just finished my first 5k. Yes I finished it. I did indeed and I am very proud of myself for doing so. It is funny when I write that it does not convey the actual feelings I had, I crossed the finish line and I cried. Not because it was over but because I finally did it. I was…
I had finished my pulmonary rehab a few weeks ago and honestly haven’t been working out that much. I had a brief visit to the ER with breathing problems and then my mom passed. Been eating badly and laying around. Not very healthy. It is funny a little bit of stress and it is so easy to justify eating fast…
In Feb of 2012 I was diagnosed with Emphysema, Bullous Emphysema, and Emphysematous Bleb. I am not going into what all that means technically. Let’s just say it is harder for me to catch my breath. Yes I was a smoker, key word being WAS. It was incredibly difficult to quit and honestly I would still smoke if I could….
I have managed to not smoke for 90 days. I am no longer using the patches. I had stepped down to the lightest one available and honestly kept forgetting to put them on. After a couple of days of that, I decided that I did not need them. Takes a while but I can catch on. I am using the…
