Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Congratulations Jennie! You are almost to twoterville!!!! Yes, working in the garden is exercise!!!  Good for you! Lori

Hi Lori, had to stop in and tell you that I have been walking around three miles a day.  And that I am going to take an assessement friday to see about returning to work.   I havent lost no weight hardly in months thought. But I have went down two pants sizes. I guess the weight lose will pick back up when the body catches up. I hope anyway. hugs.

Marie, 3 miles a day is so fantastic!!!  Did you ever think you'd get there?  This plateau business can be maddening...it sure is for me.  We just got to keep taking care of ourselves....

I thought I'd actually wait and post after I exercised rather than recap the next day. I did six minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the armbike (hilly terrain program, level 3) and 10 minutes reverse armbike (hilly terrain level 1).  I started using level 3 yesterday and my arms really felt it today, so I had to force myself to keep going. When does the exercise start to show a benefit?  I've only been doing this for 11 days, so I'm not expecting miracles, but I hope some results are forthcoming.   There's no way I can do 60 minutes of cardio yet!  Kix

Kix, I am going to physical therapy for "tennis elbow".  Along with a bunch of other stuff they are having me do the armbike as well.  That thing is a workout!!! Exercise takes quite awhile to show a benefit.  I noticed how much better I felt after about 3 months of consistent exercise.  I know that is awhile, but, it is so worth it! You are doing so great!!!!! Lori
