What I said exactly was "Damn, I'm good!" But then the aches and pains set in, and I probably overdid the exercise thing, but I'm doing so well with it that I will just suffer.
The yoga video I followed yesterday evening just about kicked me in the butt. Then this morning I went to the gym with Donald, Jeannie, & their two girls. (CA Fitness has a special area that the kids can go, be safe, and have fun.)
Donald and Jeannie showed me a lot of the various machines, and although I was really hesitant about them at first, I found I LOVE THEM! Especially the Nautilus machines. Jeannie and I also did some workouts with dumbells, as well as some other equipment.
I'm pretty much wiped out right now but I plan to go back for more tomorrow morning. If I can get out of bed, that is.
Donald was taking it easy because of his recent knee surgery, but his doctor told him he can ease back into basketball. Jeannie and I looked in on the basketball court at the gym where he and another guy were playing - Donald is so incredibly talented and every time he shoots the ball, no matter from where on the court, he gets it in the basket. I told him later what a show-off he is!
How nice it is to have someone to exercise alongside of and not have to go alone. Tomorrow I will join the class that utilizes a few minutes on each of the machines, and you can do whatever you can during the interval, but you keep switching from one to another. They really provide a total workout, and I know because I hurt in every single muscle of my body!
The weather here is sunny and will be in the upper 60's for the next few days. It didn't get up to the predicted 72 today, so I think summer is just about over with.
I will be seeing my eye surgeon in a week, and his office is just about a mile away from REI. Of course I will have to drop into REI to check out camping and backpacking gear, although I won't buy anything yet unless it's on sale. Well, maybe a good map or two.
I feel great and all is right with the world. Ya can't ask for any better than that. (Actually the world is in pretty crappy shape, all over. But that isn't my world and I refuse to let events keep me down. Not having TV sure helps in that regard.)
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...
- Enough Of This!
I had my post op visit yesterday and hit a whopping 105.2 on the scale! I've had enough of this craziness and have made up my mind I'm going to get well, gain weight, and get back to living again, as soon as I can manage it all. The visit...
- Feelin' Fine!
I did go to the gym for the 7:30 pm Gentle Yoga class, and I'm so glad I did. Last night I got the best sleep I've had in a long time! So this morning I decided to get out my stretch video and did the 25 minute routine, which is much...

I will be spending another night with my old friend, Ben Gay! I walked with Jeannie this afternoon for about an hour at Mather Field. The place was crowded - games at all the soccer fields, a drum group with cheerleader practice, basketball,...

Well done, Gypsy
