Erin,
Do you have room in your house for a workout machine like a treadmill or elliptical? I tried a health club for about 3 months and it was hard for me to make the trip there, and then I caught the most horrendous cold there too.
I started at home with a stationary bike, then sold that and got the elliptical after I tried one out on vacation. It's great having it here because it doesn't take a lot of time to have a good workout. It cost $600 including shipping and it's a Schwinn with a ten year warranty on the main parts. If you shop around you can find a good one for a good price and when you figure the price of gym membership, they pay for themselves in no time. |
Nope. No room here for that. My dad gave our exercise bike to our neighbor across the street a couple of years ago. (that thing was ancient)
I do like going to the gym. I just havent had the energy to do it for the past couple of weeks, which is weird, because I'm on oral pred right now. But the pred isnt making me bounce off the walls this time. Otherwise, I probably would be at the gym, constantly walking on the treadmill.
The pred is causing me some pretty impressive insomnia (which isnt much different from my normal insomnia), I think that's what's sucking out my energy right now. (either that, or the MS trolls in my head are MS Vampires instead)
I might actually talk a short walk in the neighborhood later. It's nice and cool outside, cloudy, with a breeze. Just the perfect temperature, so I might walk down the street and see if I can tell if any other neighbors had vandalism last night (neighbor on the other side of me lost a front window last night to a gourd) Walking to the end of the subdivision isnt very far, but I think that will at least maybe wake me up, and I definately dont have to worry about overheating today.
I just washed my hair for the first time in a couple of days, so once I get that dried, my dad should be home. I might see if he wants to go hit the treadmills at the gym...I might have him show me how to use the eliptical machine for a few minutes. I dont think I'll have energy for doing much, but I want out of the house for a little while before I go nuts!
