Ok guys - here I go again. I've laxed off again on my exercises. Seems that I do this so often, and I know that I am not the only one and that is why I am making this confession public. Maybe this will help me to stay focused for a while at least, knowing that other eyes are on me, lol. And, maybe it'll get some of you moving it again.
I have been sick since the last week of October, with various bouts of a bug, what appeared to be some allergies, a cold or two, the flu 2x and now just getting over a mild case of pneumonia. I think the last of which was just a breakdown of my body over the stress of our son Daniel being so sick. So, I did not had more than about 8 days of "well days" if I am lucky since then. During this time I missed a 1st birthday party for my first great niece, a wedding, and a weeks vacation in San Diego. Happily I had 2 "well days" at Christmas. Sick the day after, lol. I started riding my recumbent bike the other day and already I feel some strength coming back, and believe me, I have gotten weaker over this time. So, if any of you, and I know that there have got to be more than a few of you, have also been getting lax on your exercises, please get back into the swing of things again. Our bodies need it, and it is such a boost to see even a slight improvement. If nothing else, we need to keep moving and you'll feel like you are doing something good for yourself. I picked my bike up for $50 on Craigslist.com last year. If any of you live in an area that has a Craigslist city listed anywhere near you, you'd be so surprised on what you can buy there. Tons of exercise and mobility stuff. Take care and here's to a healthier and stronger 2010. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
