Evie Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I am so excited I just wanted to share my excitement with people who understand how big the small things can be The exercise has made me a little sore today (but thats completely normal) and i slept in a extra hour (thats normal for me). I admit i only did about 40 steps on the stairs and 10 mins of jogging with a slight incline ... but its still a big deal for me. I tried a few years back but it use to make me too dizzy. Plus i walked about 2.5k to get to appointments (i admit i stopped half way along for juice and tea breaks). I got a bit of a heavy heartbeat but i tried to make sure it didnt go too haywire and was lucky that this time it calmed down.Just a question is it completely normal when you exercise to get the large banging heartbeat through your body and mostly feeling it in your chest and head?Im just wondering as all my life i thought everyone got this when they exercised .... yet only this week i have thought maybe they dont. I only tend to get it if i exercise over longer time periods ... i can run 100m but not 200 kind of thing. but yes i hope to become a regular gym buff now i dont have classes to save my energy for. Nina and the rest of you have inspired me! hehe *big gold star and thank you to you all* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Keep on plugging along! Yes, the pound in my chest and belly is intense, as is my head thumping...but I keep reminding myself I'm making a healthier future by pushing on.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks for the support guys Do healthy people get the same thumping? does it just mean im unfit? Since i have had it most of my life i was just wondering if it was a sign that something was not right way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunfish Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 congrats evie - i've been swimming (between ear infections ) and can definitely share in your excitement. just listen to your body and make adjustments as needed...what you can/cannot do on any given day may change a lot, something that was (and still is) very tough for me to get used to after being a varsity athlete who used to have workouts/schedules planned out weeks & months in advance to do no matter what.and yep, i have the forceful heartbeat too...more so when i do things on land than in the water, but to some degree always. i've had this as long as i could remember, even when i was doing army training years back, triathlons, etc and thus was in pretty darn good shape. i never realized it was anything but the norm b/c it's always been my norm. thanks for letting us share your good news, melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_b Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 That is great news Evie!! I'm glad you are able to exercise without passing out!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks for being happy for me guys i really appreciate the support. Im getting wisdom teeth out in two weeks and i have my final exam on tuesday ... so after tuesday i will make sure i go to the gym and try different routines each day or second day and then after the wisdom teeth i am having my fingers crossed that i wont get CFS back (eek scary). It feels so good to be able to do things without fainting ... heh ... im glad that you are all going well! swimming is great melissa, i cant handle the cholorine and its really annoying as i use to be a really good swimmer... i will have to go to the surf (beach) this summer i think so swim for me in the meantime! hehe Sorry that you have to dodge ear infections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
