Yes, my dears! I did a bonafide, sweaty, breathy cardio for 20 minutes! I used to do 60 minutes, then bike ride and weights and stretching, but hell, I haven’t done shit in years! This is a good first step and I didn’t drop dead in the process! And I feel great! Don’t know what possessed me. One minute I was lying on my bed watching “Bones – Season Three” on DVD and the next minute I said to myself:
Self! You can just pop this dvd in the player you bought for the gym – Remember that lovely home gym that you created for yourself seven years ago that you used to actually work out in? Today is the day: Just make a start – even ten minutes will beat nothing.
And when ten minutes passed, I went for five more, then five more and I stopped at twenty! Not bad for a girl who had cobwebs on her work out machines!!
And afterwards I ate a beautiful salad with grilled chicken (thanks Foodlife Deli) and fruit and lotsa of water and… well… I’m beginning to think this could be possible!
AND, I did not have a buncha cocktails last night at the Drake Hotel. In fact, I didn’t finish my obligatory after show martini. A woman looked at my three-quarters-full drink and said:
Oh, you’re obviously not a drinker!
HAAAAAA!
I did have to scrub down my stationary bike with a wash rag and soap to remove the thick layer of dust/dirt before I could get on it! Maybe later I will hose off my free weights and weight bench…
Will keep you posted!
I forgot about swimming!!!! Whoo hoo!
It’s all in the state of mind! I would like to see you succeed because as a former softball catcher, coach, and I always worked two jobs I know where you’ll be in another ten years or so. You won’t be able to take walks or ride that stationary bike if you can wash it off!! That won’t be a any fun when ya can’t climb on a table or kick those legs up and get crazy girl!! Ya gotta “Sit Down On It” and when your knees ache every day it’s no fun watchin’ everybody else dance! You know how it goes~ “At first I was afraid…” you have so many supporters and friends that love you. Most of all, love yourself and care for yourself!
