I'm Back.... hopefully!

Postby luvmybabies » Fri Jun 30, 2006 7:43 am

Well after my doc told me to cut out the exercise until my thyroid got back in proper working order I felt a little sad to leave my goals behind for a bit. I have been still taking little short 10 minute walks here and there and of course chasing down my 2 little ones but still not the mental escape/break that you get when you go for a long stretch with music blasting in your ears!!! Last night I finally went for it! I walked for 40 minutes at a nice easy pace. I thoroughly enjoyed it soooooooo I am keeping my fingers crossed now that my body won't make me pay :P I originally planned 15 minutes but found that once I got started I couldn't stop!! I still could have kept going after the 40 minutes were up but I thought I better not push my luck too much. Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Canada Day long week-end.

Nice job Bridie...

15 minutes and you ended up being out there for 40 :shock: Way to go, but as Robbie said... don't push too hard, even though you may want to.

Take care & keep up the great work....

You guys are so great :clap: I know my goals are pretty modest and you are all very kind to offer encouragement. Goes to show that people at all levels are welcome here :D

So very glad to read you are doing better! Like everyone says - do not push it! I am a perfect example of 'overdoing it' when the doctorman/lady told me not to...

Take it easy - one day at a time and one step will lead again to running.
:D

yah...well....am back on antibiotics,puffers, & prednisone etc since last week - guess I pushed myself after the fiasco of NCM :(
Doctors are saying that the asthma attack of May 28 did not every really clear up and just worsened. I was really discouraged yesterday when I went to my clinic and the ladies in it sent me home :oops: told me I was too sick to lead the clinic practice walk - they were right - came home, showered went to bed and slept two hours BUT tonight don't feel too bad - just wish the damn coughing would go a w a y!!!!!.
thanks for thinking of me. :)
