I am not asthmatic nor have I ever used one before but dang if it didn't help.

I would try walking at the Y. warm up your body and go slow. OR try yoga or even just dancing around your house while listening to fun music. Let your body heal but try to let it know you are ready for the healing by pushing it a bit more everyday.

it is amazing what you can do when you think you can !!!

Goodluck feeling better. Being Sick just plain sucks

Thanks. When I get to the point where I wouldn't feel bad or get dirty looks for being there (coughing and hacking and sneezing), I'll go back to the Y.

I don't know if I'm still contagious, but I can always spread stuff and my coughing fits are still pretty bad once they get going. It is starting to slow down a bit, so I'm hopeful it won't be too many weeks more now.

I have ants in my pants over this!

Sorry you have been sick Gemme. I am not sure what you have but it may be pretty safe to say you are probably not contagious any longer. Dirty looks I can relate to at the gym. I have asthma and I used to get very coughy in the
past while working out. I kept a towel with me and used that when necessary to cough into and such. I wouldnt worry about the dirty look, just go, enjoy, and feel good!

Thanks. I hear what you are saying and I'll probably bring my own towel with me when I do go back.

I'm thinking that when my coughs are less....productive....I will go.

Hey hottprof-

I did eat some delicious dark dark dark chocolate over at my folks house yesterday. I ate alot actually. Oh well...I will run it off Monday. Glad you are looking forward to getting back into the groove. How's the hammie?
Have a happy New Year!!

I started power walking again last night...My aunt told me I was fat on Christmas Eve..I nearly fell over and died in the same moment. Thankfully, my stepdad's mother was standing next to me and she said what I wanted to say and that diets are allowed to be put aside for one day..

I say thank you to her....

How was everyone else's Christmas? I am off New Years Eve and Day, but I have to work on the 2nd, so I am not drinking or anything..Just hanging out at home watching movies...

It felt good last night to get back in to the groove of things at the gym. I hit the tredmill at a whopping 3.3mph last night.. no running yet but my hammie held up for almost the entire hour

I am hoping tonight will be even better... got to get my groove back before the "resolution" crew comes to the gym for the next three months...

You go hottprof!!
What is "resolution" crew?
I just got to up my weights yesterday!! Woohoo!!
Have a great day!!

I'm guessing here but I suspeect that the "Resolution Crew" are those people who go to gyms with the resolution to lose weight, do so for about 1-3 months and then disappear. Tends to be the busiest time of the year at gyms.

I'm trying to workout more at home and have been comtemplated getting the P90X system (or it's precursor to start with). Anyone used either the Power 90 or P90X systems?
