Limitations on exercise and my week
I don't know if anyone else struggles with them, but I certainly do. I, although never diagnoses, belief firmly that I suffer yearly from bronchial asthma. The closest I got to a diagnosis was this past January when I ended up in the ER for shortness of breath and the Dr there suggested (as I heard 13 years ago) that I *may* have bronchial asthma. See no one wants to diagnosis it because I do not present with a wheeze. Instead I have coughing attacks so bad that I cant catch my breath and that they hurt my throat and chest. Anyhow, I have this *condition*, whatever it may be, from about September til April every year. I normally get an ATB and muddle through, but exercise goes out the window for those months. I already cant breath, I just can't put undue stress on my lungs. And I know that with regular exercise my lungs will get stronger, but ya know, its hard to get from point A to point B.
What I am thinking of doing is kinda easing up a little on the workouts, doing more pilates and maybe cardio 1 time a week to get my lungs a little stronger. Pilates, too, requires a great amount of breath control. I dont know. I hate to just stop every year, I feel as though I fall further and further behind where I know I could be physically every year
On a good note, though, I did make my goal for this week. My goal for next week is another 2 lbs.
