Working Out

This Weekend

I got the chance to workout....I love working out! I really think that the psychological benefits of exercise have been my saving grace at this point in the game. What could possibly be more depressing than putting on weight after an ordeal like this?!!
Well I ran a little over 3.5 miles combined with some burpees, squats and dips to make for a great Saturday. I felt great all day Saturday...it wasn't until Sunday that it all seemed to catch up with me. I am not sure if it is the exercise or just my own heart causing me problems, but I did not feel great. This burning sensation has just morphed into an annoying pain. Sadly it affects my energy and breathing...I hate that. I have moments, while lying down, that I have to sit up to effectively open up my back to get enough air.
I have to conclude that on some level the exercise is very beneficial, but I am still not sure how much is too much.

TODAY

I am back to work and classes. Today was Core class. I cannot figure it out...I seem to have more chest pains after a low impact core class than I do after running 3 miles!
On another note, we picked up soccer balls for the gym...oh how I love soccer!! I didn't do anything too exciting, just a little juggling and playing around, but it sure was fun! Sports and the outdoors is some of the cheapest therapy.
Well tomorrow is the visit to the new doctor. Let's hope that Cedars can help answer some of my looming questions. The doctor's office called today and said it was very important that I call them back, I was panicked that my appointment might have been canceled (I have really been looking forward to this), thankfully they were only looking for some insurance info...well I will hopefully have something new and fun to report tomorrow!!
