Well, I did actually make it to rehab today!! I did exercise twice last week but no treadmill. Headaches really get in the way.
Today I did 7 mins on the arm machine, 10 mins on the nustep, NO STOPS!! That is a minor miracle for me and then 6 mins on the dreaded bike.
Mary I really admire you doing 15 mins. on the bike, I can never go long even if I set it low and try to go slow.
Hopefully this will get me back on track here for a while.

OK guys...What's going on? It's beautiful weather - you should be outside walking or swimming or something! Exercise can be fun, you know. I went to the gym as usual, and did my usual routine. I know you get tired of hearing it, so I won't give you a repeat of my last post.  I am not increasing anything - seem to have reached a plateau. The PT guy at the hospital told me I would do that. I guess I just have to wait it out, although I am already at an acceptable level. The doc doesn't expect me to do any more than I am - but it gets boring without some sort of change. Maybe I'll check out some other machines next week. |

Mary had surgery on her eye so it'll be a week before she is back.
Adina is taking a break from the forum to get caught up on some stuff.
I am not going to rehab today but will be getting on the tm a little later!

I went to the gym this morning and then did a weeks grocery shopping. I came home and ate pizza and took a nap! Happy weekend.
My daughter sent me the following prayer today:
"Dear Lord, if you can't make me thin, please make my friends fat."

It is working Merry, my middle expanded, lol.
I vacuumed under the other 8 beds yesterday and walked around downtown during a music thing they had going on last evening.

Well, I walked the Sams Club store today and it was quite a feat, I don't think I missed an aisle!!
I only went to rehab once this week but did do leg & weight exercises on Thursday so the week was not a total loss.
