So today was my first day at the gym after all that heart scare stuff. I wanted to start off slow so I did 10 minutes on the stair stepper and 20 on the treadmill. After the stair stepper I was feeling great!!!!!! So I decided to continue my aerobic exercise on the treadmill. I did more of a fast walk at like a 3.5 on the treadmill. It was great. I felt great. When I got off I started to get dizzy kinda. Not really dizzy but off balance. I didn't do a cool down and I know this was my mistake. So when I touched the ground I felt like I was still moving. Of course I started to panic. I paced back and forth trying to get it together. But ultimately the discomfort of the anxiety was too much and I left. In the car I was so mad at myself I wanted to cry. I felt like I let anxiety get the best of me. The anxiety part was telling me something was wrong. Even though I knew that could be a normal reaction off the treadmill especially since I didn't cool down properly. But that even crazier thing is, is that I actually feel really good.

I feel energized and accomplished. I will try again tmw. But I'm having trouble getting the anxious thoughts to reside. I had plans to have a productive day off and I don't want to be crippled by my anxiety. Because part of me wants to go lay in bed... any positive thoughts?
