Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Wild Where are you walking?.........it a nice green park........or down the street with car fumes and other things? Are you having problems because of the time it takes to put on your walking shoes/organise something beforehand/afterwards. Are you able to come home and relax straight away or ? When I take a walk somewhere I don't do anything before or after it - sometimes the bag of shopping will remain on the bench until I can cope. Sometimes my flatmate will shuffle through it and put away the cold things for me. Wild how much toing and froing to do with your children/family........maybe you are getting enough exercise just coping with them. Or can you have some household help sooooooo that you can take a walk in the fresh air which will free up some airway/energy space. ________________________________ Hi ! I walk around my neighborhood. No through traffic but neighbors cars, trucks, vans, and semis, lawnmowers, smokestacks, tree pollen season. I think that covers everything. I walk between all my other activities. I kindof squeeze it in. But have given it up again. The only exercise I'm getting now is sweeping, moping, vacuuming, dusting, shopping, putting my kids on their bus but it don't seem like enough but it'll have to do before I get any worse I may never be able to exercise again despite what professionals say I guess my asthma is too severe to be typical. After my walks I go into my next activity I might squeeze in a water break a sit while I drink then onto next thing unless my body goes into a total collapse mold then I rest until I feel strong enough to continue activities. What I do with my kids? Everyday is different. Today I got my teenager up for school got my kindergartener up gave him his medicines and got him dress got his school supplies ready wrote a note to his teacher got my 3rd grader up put my kindergartener on his bus and took my 3rd grader and her friend to school came back home to face the housework. This afternoon I'll do the same thing. That's all the moving about I'm going to do today the kids will probaly want to get into the waterhose cause it's 89 today but I don't know if I feel like getting all that out since I just had my second attack of the day and I'm drained plus we're going on a retreat tomorrow that I need to rest for. I don't have any household help besides the children and they usually want to tag along which is more draining. HUGS!!!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 YES!!! Exercising is so much easier and enjoyable now! I have to say I haven't been working out regularly - but its not because I am so big that it hurts to do so - it is because I got out of the habit and haven't got back into!!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 , It has been two years since surgery and I still hate exercising! I feel better when I have exercised. I sleep better when I exercise. I am mentally better and a nicer person to be around when I exercise. I still have to force myself to go to the pool and swim. It is my exercise of choice as I hate it the least. No sweating, no hurting, it stretches out my insides and firms up my outsides. 150 lbs. lighter and I still don't like to exercise. Sorry - it doesn't get easier. You just need to make it a part of your week. I can't commit to every single day.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi, As you know I'm new to the group, so I don't know what is common knowledge. I've struggled through the first 4 months with help of family, friends and doctor. My big disappointment has been my inability to maintain my dog sport hobby of agility. We geared my shots to have me in best condition on weekends for shows. I'm only a novice and have competed in 4 shows (you sign up for months in advance) since under Tx. Sometimes it was fun, some points I thought I would die, people helped me but all in all it was so hard to do, I didn't really learn anything and was just a robot trying to breath long enough to make it through the course. At home I don't have the energy to run with my dog anymore. I measure my accomplishments in whether I can throw the ball and if so, how many times. I wonder, what level of exercise have others been able to maintain? I find the grocery store exhausting. My doctor just kept telling me everyone is different and led me to believe I might be able to resume after 1 month ... 2 .... ..... Thank you, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
