Gym is Open (Monday 12/3)

Hi Kix! My pool was closed for 1 week of maintenance, and then last week, my mom and I went on a trip together. Yesterday was my first day back at "formal" exercise.  I taught a water aerobics class Monday night.  It felt SO good to be back in the pool working out.  Some of my students said they were sore with me coming back.   On our trip, we took a 4 day cruise that goes out of LA (San Pedro).  My mom and I really enjoy this little get away, and have lots of fun.  I try and use the stairs most of the time, but on this trip my mom was having problems with her back and wasn't able to move around so good.  Because of this, I ended up taking the elevator more than I'd have liked.  I didn't gain on the trip, so that was good.  Also, we went to Catalina Island, off of the California coast, and went to the Wrigley Memorial.  There is a steep trail and lots of stairs leading up to the top of the memorial.  I had no problem on the hike/stairs, and even found myself running up the steps.  I wasn't even winded when I got to the top!  I was very pleased to think that I can now do things like that following my surgery and weight loss! Anyway, it's good to be back to the board and the YMCA!

Finals are next week, so I look forward to being back on the boards at least during semester break.  Anyway, I though I'd drop by.  Last night (Monday) was 30 minute step aerobics followed by strength training for chest and back.   Where's Lori and Lorraine????
