Sat.. I did not workout.. instead I went to the spa.. all day. It felt really good. I got haircut, highlights, wax, and manicure. I was there for 5 hours!! Then I bought some new clothes. Shocked on the sizes I had to buy. I'm back up to a 22 and a 2x/3x. I actually bought a pair of jeans that was a 24. =( At my wedding in October I had been wearing a size 20 dress and fit into some things that were 16 - 18's. I was also 245 then.. not 280 as I am now. Another scary thing happened today. About 30 minutes after leaving the gym I had an asthma attack. Something I had not experienced in over two years when I use to be at this weight. I wasnt doing high cardio.. it was light so not sure if maybe allergies might have triggered it. I ended up having to run out to rite aid and get some primatine mist and some claritin. That took care of it. Also not the greatest thing to do with my recent High BP's but I took a chance. If it happens again I will go to the ER or Dr to see if he can get me on RX inhalers again.

You had a good workout today, and yep I betcha will be sore...feel good pain tho! Becareful with the asthma stuff. It gets dangerous as I am sure you well know... and Primatene mist is a with high blood pressure kiddo! Caffeine would work much better as a bronchodialtor, and if you are wheezing that bad...GO TO THE ER!!! I lost a friend/colleague to an asthma attack. She left behind a 5 year old little boy. Very sad. Asthma is no joke, please be careful!

I never thought about trying caffine. Do you just drink some green tea or something? I needed something immediate. I was feeling really bad and having trouble breathing. I started getting sick and lightheaded from the shallow breaths. I probably should of gone to the ER and gotten a nebulizer treatment or something. I woke up still congested today so maybe it is just some sort of cold or bronchitis that came on quickly. My work out this morning was 25 minutes of light cardio. Tomorrow I'm doing core - back/abs stuff. Cardio Wednesday. Then Thursday I will do legs. Friday upper.
