Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

I took a rest day from exercise this morning (first time in 10 days). I might take a walk tonight as I'm feeling down in the dumps because I need that endorphin fix! What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/241.5/168

Hi Lori, Didn't go to PT this morning, so I did a walk instead for about 45 mins. Then went to WallieMart and strolled for abit. This PM is traveling to support group (about 1.5 hours away) so tomorrow I'll have to get back to PT again so I won't lose my momentum. Try using your porch steps for some step aerobics, maybe that will give you that little endorphin rush you're needing. I use my deck steps so I can get the fresh air, too. Have a great one! Myra

Good idea Myra...I just need to make it through this work day. I'm all dressed up and exercising right now would ruin my feet and probably set my pantyhose on fire! Lori

1.15 miles on the armbike. It wasn't too bad, except at one point the radio station kept playing blues music and I needed something a bit peppier! Hard enough to exercise without getting all sad listening to blues music! Fortunately, they snapped out of it after three blues songs and played me some Van Morrison! Kix

Kix, I love Van Morrison! I do a radio show that is online if you ever want to listen. It is called "Sunday Sagebrush Serenade" and I'm on Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm M.S.T. You can hear it at www.krcl.org. I do play Van Morrison. He has a new album of his favorite country tunes. It is really good. Lori

Lori, I wanted to ask you the name of the injections you get for your knee problems. My sister is having a physical in June and I wanted her to speak to her doctor about them (she had terrible knee problems). Thanks, Kix

Kix, The shots I get in my knees are called synvisc. They replace the synovial fluid in the joint. I'm getting my first in a series of 3 on May 8, I can't wait, as they really help me. Lori
