Moving on...

Today I must stop procrastinating and really get to my exercise program. My hip seems to be better, I hope. I really won't know until I try. Listening to our bodies is what we MUST do.

I am fortunate enough to have a mini gym with a treadmill, recumbent bike (birthday present), free weights (2 to 5 lbs. sets), and a swimming pool, no more excuses!
Walking is seriously out of the question due to me not being able to deal with the humidity; a product and true one from having MS.

Due to quitting smoking plus some pituitary issues I have gained quite a bit of weight and have been fighting the battle of the bulge for these last two years. Honestly, previous years when I quit I had a Yo Yo problem, but always lost fairly quickly when I put my mind to it. I quit six times before this longest one for almost 2 years now. Last longest was six months.

Having been a dancer for 12 years, cheerleader, swimmer with life saving plus certified aquacize instructor, and active bicycler(21 mile trips) as a young woman I do have the knowledge of what to do. Not to mention having gone to a professional gym for four years with trainers available to all. I also had been in physical therapy 14 times over the years... so when I say no excuses that is an understatement!

I definitely feel Nike-ish, in my head it is screaming, "Just do it!"
But my body is screaming, are you sure???

Who will win...
I'm the only one that could lose, which laughably is what I want to do!

Help world I do need some motivation.

Reading and sitting has been put on hold in spite of the fact we just picked up 7 books from the library on my b'day!
Counter productive, since sitting causes stiffness, causing pain, causing lack of movement, vicious cycle. I must find balance, sitting, moving, sitting, moving, and on and on.

My biggest problem is once I start reading I want to finish the whole book!
Another human flaw I am working on.
And who amongst us is perfect?

Anyway, these are my plans for today and when I seem to try to incorporate the exercise into my daily program it works the best.
My hip problem slowed me slightly, but I must get back to the real exercise program.

That's all for now, signing off...
Have a great day!
