Sheesh, the fact that you can swim a mile amazes me! The time is insignificant. *crawls over and strokes BBS on the back*

I hiked to the top of a hill ... sorta. Our family went to an outdoor summer theater at Sundance (Robert Redford's ski resort). A shuttle took us from the parking lot to the base of the mountain and dumped us off.

It was maybe a 3-4 block hike (seemed longer). My legs are Still sore and that was 2 days ago! 16 or so years ago I skiied down that same mountain (not gracefully, mind you!) So pretty up there!

BTW, the play was the Fantasticks.

Keep on keepin' on, everyone!

I went to the pool yesterday. I just moved around (jogged, kicked, etc) for about an hour.

Thanks Twinkletoes. Do you think your legs hurt due to lack of conditioning, or is it the MS, or both?

Barb: I did not know you like to go to the pool. Good for you for making time for moving around in the pool. I'm such a fan of pools for MS people-- it keeps us cool and we cant hurt ourself if we "fall" in the pool.

I swam a mile this morning

Hello everybody! I need encouragement to keep moving. I think I'll pull up a chair.

I've been very good this week so far. On Monday morning I went for a 25 minute walk before work. On Tuesday I did 40 minutes of Pilates floor exercises. This morning, I went 15 minutes on the elliptical and I puttered around the yard this evening for about an hour, pulling weeds here and there and moving the sprinkler around to all the flowers. I'm proud of myself.

I'm going to try to do something each day because my mood is about 999% better when I get up and do any sort of exercise regularly.

My insomnia is really horrible this week. (this is what I get for wanting my vision back to normal...I traded my sleep for better vision when I took the steroids)

I walked nearly a mile yesterday. Took my Kindle with me again. The K is dangerous for me. I dont even notice the time while I'm reading until something starts to hurt, and then I look down at the timer and realize that I've been walking for 40+ minutes. (the Kindle cover I have my K in lays nice and flat on that little bookshelf on the treadmill, and covers the timer so I dont see it)

I didnt sleep last night. Was already running on 3hrs of sleep from the day before, and so my poor brain and body were wanting to kill me at 5am this morning when I finally was able to sleep. (got up at noonish today)

Tonight when my dad got home and asked if I wanted to go treadmill, I was just so tired that I couldnt do it. I've been falling asleep everytime I sit down. Was trying to crochet, but I was ending up with a yarn tangle because I'd fall asleep in mid-stitch.

I'm hoping that I'll be tired enough tonight to sleep at a normal time. My dad wants/needs to exercise tomorrow and I think he really likes it that I've been coming along with him. So, if I'm not in a coma from the lack of sleep, I'm going tomorrow afternoon. (hopefully we can go out for Greek food as a reward afterwards)

hehe ... My legs hurt cuz they had to carry a heavy load (me) up a steep hill! Can't really blame it on the MS that I'm overweight.

But you guys who exercise Rock! Keep up the good work!

Hang in there Erin. Lack of sleep is such a tough thing. Do you have access to a pool? Moving in a pool is more relaxing than walking on land,....

Welcome ewizabeth-- you are the energizer bunny of the day

I swam a mile this morning.

You asked if I did my exercises in my dreams and I said no, but on second thought....YES!! Some active dreams have me exhausted upon waking.. I need to stretch out even more because my muscles are sore and tight, from running and stuff..

I have a hemmorhoid this week. (refer to my constipation thread) and its uncomfie to do much. I have been trying to just take it easy, and be kinder to myself this week.

Youch!.......
