Hello Happy People!
How was your weekend? For those who honor it, are you ready for Halloween? I’m not sure what the tradition is around here, but I don’t pass out candy so I’m gonna have to leave my light off. It’s been awhile since I’ve done this. Mostly because I didn’t have control over the light outside my door where I used to live. This place is crawling with cute little kids and I don’t want to even get into the whole “Trick or treat” thing. So, lights out.
Eureka! It worked! Karen and I went over to the little gym here in my complex to work out this morning. She had suggested that I give the treadmill there a try. It would be a great answer to our walking issues during the winter if I could keep up with it. And oh Happy Day, I was able to use it without any issues. No sliding off the back and landing on my tushy. We started off very slowly…I mean veerry sloowlly. And finally made it up to what I considered a slow but steady walking pace for me, about 1.5. I did 15 mins to work up to that and then when I was confident I wouldn’t break my neck, I did another 15 mins. The machine adds a two mins cool down so it turns out i did 34 mins on the treadmill. Whoa hoa! Problem solved. This machine was very different from the ones I tried to use years ago. And I do believe not having to “look” at the belt and my feet while walking helped allot. At one point, I actually started to walk faster than the belt and was walking up the front of the machine. So we’ve set a schedule for treadmilling it at least twice a week and weight training once a week at my little gym. We’ll have yoga on Tuesdays and then she’s free to work out at her new gym, too.
I, for my part, can try some different things on days we don’t go to the little gym. I just found out a bout a website that sells Audio work out tapes for the blind. The instructor is blind and has adapted workouts with full instruction so I can follow along. They have aerobics, strength training and pilates, too. She seems to have a few levels and they are adding as they go. That’s what I like, variety. And of course I still love my dumbbells. I found my jump rope hiding in a box and my blow up Bean. So I think I’m good to go this winter. Oh yeah, and the recumbent bike, too. Hmmm, wonder if I could find a used Thigh Master somewhere…?
Tomorrow is weigh in. and I swear if I havent’ lost these last three pounds to get to earrings… I mean my first weight goal, I’m gonna scream. This is week ten of the weight loss management program. I’ve got two more weeks to go and it’s done. Back to surgery track and I want those 3.8 pesky pounds gone.
Alright, enough complaining. I’ve got a meal plan to work out. Oh yes, still working on that twenty min meal time. It all depends on what I’m eating, ya know. Oh well, something always to strive for. Blessings.
