Exercise your body!

I will be going to the gym tonight and doing 1 hour of pilates. 

OK Gus, I promised I would report today about my exercise last night.....

Well, as I mentioned yesterday,  the slight problems with my treadmill do not allow me to start off slow.  I had to start at like a 3 minute mile.  This led me to walking quite briskly and then jogged a bit.   Wait a minute, I need to catch my breath.  huffing & puffing......

OK, so now I decided, (Oh WHAT THE HELL), let's put in a personal certified trainer program which I did.  It includes speed up and slow downs w/ inclines as well.  Huffing & puffing again, hold on a minute........

Where was I ?    Oh yeah!  Anyway, I continued at the personal trainer pace walking, jogging, huffing and puffing.  I was working up a sweat.  I have not sweat like this since before surgery.  As I am doing this all I can think of was:  "WHY DID I PROMISE TO TELL GUS I WOULD REPORT EXERCISE ON THURSDAY, WHY OH WHY"!!!

Since I have not done ANY type of exercise since the 5k walk in October and my knee has been acting up I only continued at this pace for 1/2 mile.  It took me 10 minutes, but I will take the 1/2 mile with 10 minutes. 

So my friend, tonight after I get a load of laundry started I will put on my walking shoes and instead of getting on the treadmill, I will walk the route I was doing after I had my surgery.  It is approximatley 1 mile and takes me about 23 minutes.  May take a little longer tonight just until I get used to the walking again.  Once I am comfortable with this I will begin to walk my 3 miles. 

So Gus, I think I did ok for the first time in 3 mos and it will only get better.

No exercise for me today.  I got a double workout yesterday...running and helping a friend to move.

Can't drive my car to the gym tonight... tires are cracked, like REALLY bad... appointment set at Big O for 9am. tomorrow... ran around locally for pricing today. But, I did wash and dry my car, took in the cans and walk the neighborhood...

I'll be at the gym tomorrow for sure! I'm recovered from my plastics enough, I think... final few stitches came out yesterday... was nice to see Dr. Quiroz... and he'll be at the OH event along with Joyce in May!!!
