When I started this mission, I wasn't expecting this good of results so quickly. I had it all figured out that if I could gain 0.10L per month, it would take me approximately 1 year to reach my first goal, and even THAT seemed like a lot of ground to gain. I really don't know what to say about the speed I am improving. I'm still pretty speechless about the whole thing, but wanted to share my progress with you for the past week!
I also wanted to add that when I started my workouts, I added a few supplements to the list. I have been taking 10,000mg of Lipo-Spheric Vitamin C/day, and with the absorption rate of the Lipo-Spheric, it is supposed to equal anywhere between 50,000 and 80,00mg of regular vitamin C without the bowel issues. And let me tell you, its like opening up the flood gates with this stuff! I get such good clearance right after I take it, and feel so good for the rest of the day! Also, I have been taking 8-10g of Omega 3's every day for inflammation, and I really do think that it is having a HUGE part in why I have been able to work out as much as I have without having ANY muscle stiffness or soreness! So I am going to continue taking both of these, and see where it takes me!
Now, the lung function update. This morning I woke up and went for a quick 1km jog, and realized that it was already way to hot outside for me, so I came back and finished another 30 minutes on the stair stepper. Sat for about 10 minutes, took a swig of Ventolin, and decided to do a blow.
In the 1 week it has been since I last blew (which by the way, seemed like FOREVER) my FEV1 went from 2.23L (58%) to 2.47L (64%)!!! It's still so hard to believe that only 3 weeks ago I was stuck at 46%, and even just this past May/June I was down to 36%. I have gained 18% lung function in 21 days, and I can't remember the last time I felt this good. I was looking over my lung function history, and I haven't had a number this high since September of 2009. I have already went back 2 years of my life, in only 3 weeks! I hope it just keeps getting better and better!
Stay tuned..
