Gym Is Open (Weekend)

PJ, Painting is a real workout!!! Lori

I was fooling around last night with new exercises and I thought "I wonder if I can even do a sit-up anymore"  - so I tried some modified situps on my chaise lounge (easier on my back than if I got on the floor, and just easier in general )  - I ended up doing 30 and my stomach muscles are screaming today!  I must be feeling good because yesterday for the first time in years I turned on some music and just danced around the apartment.  I used to do that all the time when I was a kid, all the way until I was maybe 22 or 23, and then I'm not sure why I stopped - busy maybe, or depressed.  I just didn't feel the urge to dance anymore.  Anyway, it was so much fun, I plan to make it a part of my day as frequently as possible.  My husband even joined me and he never dances.  Now he suggested swing lessons after a few months of weight loss.  Wow!

Cool!!!  Dancing is great exercise!!!! Lori

Hi, Lori!  I thought it was hot here in the upper 80's; we've got nothing on Utah!   I did 2 1/2 hours of yard work on Sunday - pulling weeds, cutting grass, trimming edges with weedwhacker to tidy things up.  Before my surgery, I would have been so tired and so sore when I was done; now, no problems at all.  It's an amazing blessing...

Kellie, Is it humid in Ohio?  It is very dry here, makes the heat easier to take.  Well, at least for me.  When I'm around humidity, 80 degrees seems hot! It feels good to be in shape, huh? Lori
