You guys are making me want to get out the stretch bands that I can/should
use. Thanks!

I'm a craigslist fan too. I bought quite a few items this way. It's sure
better
than paying full price. Our daughter got me started using it and I sold a
few things last summer.
Exercise has been on my mind now that the holidays are over. We looked at
ellipticals last week and decided they are too big and awkward for me to
get on and off. We decided a Wii would be more fun and he ordered one
that
should arrive today.
I was on my treadmill yesterday for 10 minutes for the first time in a
month.
Exercising is one of the things I'm supposed to do to fight SAD so I
needed to
get moving before my doctor appoint in three weeks. I also did some arm
excercises with three pound weights.
I'll take you up on the challenge. Let's get moving.

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.
