My legs hurt

Two post in one day lucky you. ;-) So after I got done typing up my earlier blog I got off my butt and went and officially did week 3 day 1 of my C25K program. Oh my goodness I have never dripped sweat like that before. I mean after I was done I leaned forward after I was done the sweat dripped down my chest from my neck. I mean This week is a  warm up walk for 5 mins, run/jog 90 sec, walk 90, run/jog 3mins, walk 3mins & repeat the 90 sec and 3 mins.  I thought I was going to die, lol. I thought there is no way I can do this for 3 mins and after the Color run I realized I can move faster than I do on my treadmill so I did this at a 4mph. I kept chanting you can do this you can do this and once you do this you know your able to do it again. Yesterday's bike ride was this way too. Allot of positive self talk going on in my brain. Lots of come on just keep going no matter how slow you have to do it just keep moving.  It is an interesting shift because for so long while biking or something I would get that panicking feeling like I can't do this and my throat would get tight and I start not being able to breath and would need to stop to catch my breath or use my inhaler. This last bike ride I forgot my inhaler and we almost turned around after we had almost gotten to the trail to go back and get it. I felt ok about going w/o it because I've been focusing on my breathing while jogging during my C25K and not having to use my inhaler at all.  I have a post where I talked about my asthma and how I think I am really just fat & out of shape vs having asthma.  I just glanced back at the last 3 years of blog post titles to try to find it but I didn't. However I did see all the struggles I've had over the last 3 years. At the attempts and failures. It reminds me how I don't want that again. How I have to keep pushing through. I know if I stick w/ this it will work. Maybe not as fast as I want but it will work and if it doesn't I'll go back to counting calories or maybe I will go see a nutritionist to find out what my magic formula of food is for my body type. Time to get my self back on track and be strict for the rest of this week because I've used up almost all my weekly points and 15 work out points already in two days.
