Journal Entry for May 7, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Yesterday I was busy helping my mom b ut I had a good day - no inhaler, only mild symptoms and for this I'm thankful. Today I tried to do a workout. I decided to just walk, I got real ambitious and thought I'd walk for 30 minutes on the indoor track...DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!! I ended up walking for 15 minutes and all my muscles from the knees down just ached!!!! It was painful!!!! I was SOOOO discouraged and disappointed because this is just a small fraction of what I could do in November before I got sick. I've sat on my butt for 6 months and done nothing ( because I wasn't able) and now I'm starting COMPLETELY  over!!!!!  I'm wearing my mask again today ... besides high tree pollen and moderate grass we also have a orange air quality day , needless to say , I'm staying inside!!!! I hate it!!! I hate that it's going to take probably 2 years for me to gat good control of my asthma/allergies

( I've been seeing my doctor for 1  1/2 years) I'm just not getting to the point where I have no symptoms- I never knew what that feels like(I really like it) and I'm discovering what it feels like to have a good night's sleep ( I really like that too) I never knew that I wasn't sleeping well. I just thought that if I could get through the night without coughing or getting to where i needed my inhaler that i was sleeping good... not the case!!!! This feels really great!!!!

    I am glad you are doing well. I never had a no symptom day in the spring but I am happy as long as I don't have to use my inhaler most days. I am so glad that things are finally turning around for you. Don't get discouraged about exercising. It all takes time.
