Kicked my posterior

I got up as soon as the alarm went off, I moved the chair, I grabbed the weights, and loaded up my workout DVD this morning.

At the end, I was breathing heavy, sweaty and my body felt like jelly. I really hate "Day 1". Technically, there should only be one "Day 1", but when you have quit these things as much as I have you tend to re-live these experiences. I was beat.

The hard part for me is breathing. I have a very mild form of asthma, but it shows up due to physical exercise. Breathing is also key to keeping these exercises going. I'm going to need to put a lot of work (and regular use of my inhaler) to get this down.

The good thing is that my body ached a little after the workout, but it was probably the first time that I felt a "good" ache. One that doesn't really hurt as much as it says, "Hey! Thanks for using me, you!" I'm sure tomorrow morning it might say something different, but we will see.

I don't have the companion disc to the workout for tomorrow so instead I will do exercises that just get my heart rate going. Don't want to stress out my recently used muscles too much.
