It can be something to strive
for or...a moment in time that makes you realize that you can do it.
Today was my day.
Some battles are futile and
others are worth it every step of the way, even the baby steps.
Exercise is quite personal in
that is to say in building endurance and many who have been involved in it know
that is the key.
Anyone, who cares to indulge
in the physicality of the effort know that’s what it is all about the prize at
the end of what you are seeking…
Whether it is to be healthy
or for weight loss or just knowing that you are doing something that will keep
you to keep on going…
Victory, I do know most say
when all is said and done…in the win of some amazing feat or a conquest or
triumph, a success.
Increments in a steadfast
program with increases in repetitions are also small victories and I am happy
to say today was my day!
Although, I will be going one
more day this week to the gym/rehab I have increased my slant board reps all
the way up to eighty, two forties and my arm cycle up to twelve minutes, six in
each directions!
Oh and on my days off I began
using my own free weights; I have increments of two, three and five pound
colorful ones that I bought years ago. Yesterday, on my day off from the
gym/rehab I started with thirty simultaneous armchair reps, relaxing and a
beginning.
Every few weeks or months I
will up the weights weight?
A plan, oh and I forgot to
tell you Hubby is my trainer, between you and me, though I know my way around a
gym and rehab facility better than he does. But he is taking on the
responsibility seriously and with love and nothing beats that! We are a team
and as we all know there is no ‘I’ in team!
Any-who, getting back into
the saddle with exercise does make a gal
feel capable and on the road to VICTORY!
Every-time I finish my routine on the slant board I
give the sign of victory with my fingers, interestingly enough the same as the ‘Peace
Sign’.
Moving on…
More good news: people with
many cancers survive today when years ago they would have not!
Two out of every three
survive and that may be with extreme measures but they do survive. And
medication and methods and surgeries are trying hard to simplify all that it
takes to survive with newer better ideas happening daily!
The fight against cancer was
started one hundred years ago.
Although, it sounds like it
has taken too long, remember that science has been moving as fast as it can and
these last few decades have been significant in finding so many methods and
even some real cures.
Organizations like Stand Up to
Cancer: http://www.standup2cancer.org/ and
all the individual cancer groups have been largely responsible for the amazing
strides in ways to handle any of the cancers that were once thought not to be
curable.
Helps families with children
with cancer and other diseases that once were thought to be incurable and with
all their research and free care for anyone under the age of eighteen, a child,
they have been doing incredible work for over fifty years.
I’m just saying, since so
much has been in the news lately about celebrities with cancer threats/scares
what-have-you.
Yes, determining by blood
tests if you are more likely to get cancer is a great concept to perhaps
prevent it and that is an individual preference or perhaps just someway to try
hard to not leave your children without a parent and that is wonderful to
insure that for the folks you love.
And perhaps it will be a
common test available to all someday, we can only hope for that to be the case.
On that note of an up note, allow
me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you
to kindly to count all your blessings and share all you overages with you know
who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear?!
