well I did yoga early this morning!! Plan to do yoga most days if I get time... cause it feels so good on my body! hugss all, sarah happy 2010

I got up on my own two feet today.

I actually went to the gym today with my dad and treadmilled for a half hour.

It was warm in the gym, but getting warm from exercising was totally fixed (or ruined?) by going back outside. We've got dangerous windchills right now. During the day it was freaking cold, now tonight, it's really really freaking cold.

I had a bad headache before I went (and no, I wasnt drinking last night) but something about the walk seemed to help that.

I got an exercise DVD from Betaferon and thought I'd try some of it out yesterday.
Now bearing in mind I used to do triathlons, swim for hours on end, rock climbing, parachuting, hill walking, horse riding, yaddie yaddie ya, I was most upset to realise that I was actually having trouble with the first section - On the spot marching with syncronised shadow boxing.

Damn nearly killed me!!! I can't do arms and legs together!!! and I got really really tired.

I'm very upset at this. It was like I could see all the small subtle changes that have accumulated and left me with this pathetic feeble shell of the person I used to be.

I think new year fireworks wore me out too and have been on the sofa for practically 36 hours.

Oh well, I can find comfort in a bowl of triple choc ice cream..............

my exercise for the month of January is.....shoveling! oh, and snow blowing, oh and sweeping the snow off the steps! oh, and dusting the snow off the cars! oh, and clearing the snow off the deck so that the birds can get to the feeders.

I really hate January in this neck of the woods. its alot like work!

Well, we are off to a great new year : Look at all of this activity!!! I swam a mile today: cold pool, 78, colder air: 51 with wind. Wetsuit surely helped me!

Hi Dejibo: shoveling is amazing work, it always made me sweat inside my snow suit

puds, those exercise tapes are very different than "real life" exercise arent they?

Erin: Nice job. Exercise is anti inflammatory, maybe that was helpful to the headache?

Sallyc: I like seeing you get up onto your two feet

sabimax: Yoga is awesome, I never could do it , and I tried several times!



azjanie: I love the name Silver Sneakers Good for you for working out like that.

debbieD: Great job!

Vonn: That is a fantastic new workout program. Keep us posted on your new program.

Happy new Year to all--keep on moving~!

I haven't conquered the stairs yet .. but I did do some grocery shopping and purchased a food processor (that was some wallet exercising!)

but, I did do my push-ups and arm exercises ... and the weight is coming off ... and I'm eating better!
