Walking outside

Oh my gosh, I went walking outside on a trail, with lots of ups and downs (hills). My grandkids rode their bikes and Grandma walked. It was really ALOT harder than walking on the treadmill. I was sooo surprised. Made me wonder about the run for red, as it will be harder than I thought. The grandkids thought it was fun to have grandma try to run to catch up to them though, ha ha ha. BUT... imagine what I would have done before all this?? They probally would have found me laying down on the trail. :)

I can run

Yesterday Ihad an injured employee and actually ran to his side, yes I did say run. Also, I was able to kneel down at his side and actually get back up without having to hold on to something or someone to get up. I did all this without even realizing it. After the fact it hit me that I had done the up and down without even thinking about it. Now this is really quite an accomplishment for me. I really now know how much benifit I get from all this exercising!!! Like many others I am not noticing a lot of loss on the scale, but all the other results make up for that. (I even ran today to get out of the rain, WOW).

Busy, busy, busy

Been too long since I have blogged. I have been busy taking care of my daughter with a blown out knee, ended up having a blood clot from knee to ankle. She is on shots daily to try and thin out the clot, and on coumadin for 5-6 months. Have to delay her surgery for 2 months due to the meds. She needs to stay down, and she has 3 kids. Her baby 8 months old also came down with the chicken pox, yep can you believe that. So needless to say I have not had a minute to write. Had a great work out today and felt good to release all the tension. Tomorrow is a Riley day, and he said last week he was going to work us harder!! What more can I do. Oh dear, guess we will see. ha ha ha. Loving this great weather, and makes me so happy and I noticed everyone else was happier also. See you all later

Here we go again

Another week, here we come. We did get our exercise in over the week end, but its always harder when we get to the gym for some reason. Has anyone else noticed this? Also another question I have is: Why is it so hard to climb up the stairs? I can do the treadmill for an hour and still get out of breath walking up those darn stairs, what is up with that?
