Wednesday's Worries

Good afternoon Jeannie and everyone.....

It is wonderful that you have managed to set up a morning yoga group.

How you do all that and do all the other jobs you have to so is amazing to me!! Where do you get the energy from? How do you do yoga in pain?I can get down on the floor but I sure can't exercise. Getting up  is even more of a challenge!! Good for you....you are awesome!!!! 

It is good that you are going to try to have some fun time sewing.

 I need too go spilled coffee on keyboard...HELP!!!!!!  

Connie,

Yoga is the least stressful exercise for me; however, I don't do all those very complicated positions. I do get on the floor but I also put on knee pads so that when I do get on my knees, they are padded. 

I love the yoga for the stretching and improvement in range of motion.  

I am afraid that once I stop I will just stop...you know? That's what happened to my sister; she retired and now she sits in the house all day long and her kids call me to come make her go to the doctor...it's so sad. I think she has just given up. 

I need to be busy.

I need to be busy too.  I have to stay active and engaged or the blue funk descends on me.  But I need to exercise more than I do.  I've been walking for a week now and I'm appalled at how out of shape I am.  I have wobbly knees and jelly thighs!  But I tell y'all right now:  I am NOT going to be a fat old woman with bad knees!  I am not going to let that be my destiny.  I may have stiff joints and arthritic hands but I am not going to let myself give up.  I say we fight the good fight, sistas!  Let's encourage one another every day.  Proud to belong to this group of amazing women!
