I took a 60 minute spin class this morning before class and today I wasn't the only person over 20 years old in the room, lol.

If I don't work out at least 5 times a week I get depressed and am blessed at this point to be able to do it. I usually take 3 spin classes and do 30 minutes on the elliptical at the Y the other two days.

It breaks my heart to read about people who were physically active and can't exercise now because of MS. I am thankful for every day I have while I still can.

Im off to walk a mile while my husband walks behind me. This outta be fun.

Whoo! husband was in full on instructor mode. We dragged out my white cane with its rollar ball tip and off we went. We explored our street, and then he turned off down the right of way! ice covered, bumpy and treacherous, but we made it! it led to a snow laiden street that had been cleared and was a quiet peaceful place to walk. I could hear the cracking of the lake ice. I could hear the ice fishermen setting up for the day, and I got to meet a new dog neighbor who was just adopted yesterday. His name is Chevy and he is a full sized Schnauzer. We had a mini one, and I must miss her so much. very sweet doggie.

Swept the lake, and kept around til we reached the horse farm. The goats came over, the horses came over and I got to pet them thru the fence. We wandered home. It ended up being 3 miles, but it was one of our best walks ever. We were considerate of each others steps, the noise around us, and we slowed down to soak it in instead of flying past it chattering away about BS to each other.

Im quite tired now, think I will nap.

Spent November and December dealing with moving my aunt into new digs and helping my mom to heal after she fell and broke both legs right before Halloween. Spent the first half of January recovering from all that, and since then it has been back on the bike.

Did three rides totalling 81 miles in January, and I am trying to make at least 2 spin classes a week, but it has been hard while trading out nights visiting mom with my sister.

I purposely made a hair appointment for 10:45 AM! I am often just getting up at 10 AM- have been known to sleep until 11! I had to set the alarm.

It was cold- up to 28 when I left the house- missed the bus again- and walked briskly two doors past the PT I see to the salon.

When I came out I was thinking of getting a quick slice of pizza or a grilled cheese. Instead I walked all the way home and had a 330 cal Lean Cuisine.

Good on all of us,
ANN

So nice to have this thread again!!

I've been attempting to work out several times a week...fatigue has reared it's ugly head tho, something to do with thyroid issues, so I get to the gym when I can.

Today I worked on an elliptical machine for 25 min. and then went over to the weight machines and worked on them for 30 min. I've been upping the amount of weight I've been lifting the past couple of weeks.

I did my usual PT exercises although this weather has brought on a fatigue attack. I need some cold weather vigor....PLEASE!!!!
