yesterday---1200 yards, today 1200 yards--tomorrow...we shall see...may try a mile again...we shall see! Thrusday if my day off and I get a haircut! YEAH!!!!!

Find a time in your day..it can be lunch, morning, afternoon whenever..that you can "force" in a few extra minutes of something...I chose after work...I have a child that is too young to leave at home by herself to get ready for school and I would have to leave at about 5:15--way too early to get her up...but I can go right after school and since she has swimmig lessons 2X a week at 4:30-5:30 and one half hour on Saturdays I can work out during those times...I also moved her daycare/after school care to theY so I have no excuse to go there every day to pick her up...which also means that I have no excuse not to get a workout in at least 5X a week...yes it does have an expense to it as well which is even more motivation to use what I am paying for! She swims while I do every day even when she doesn't have a lesson so she is getting exercise too! I am going to have to start lifting weights and that is going to take some more "time" but I will fit that into that swim and workout time too...DD just may have to stay at afterschool care a half an hour longer...adn I will ahve to cut my swim time down to half an hour each time...but it will work out...

It does, doesn't it...but daily exercise is daily exercise! Thursday is my day off! I got a haircut and DD did too...then she got a new pair of jeans off the clearance racks!

I am so excited...while I can't run 3 miles yet...I can do the inverted hang on the parallel bars! I can hold all 161lbs of me perfectly upside down and in a pike position too. I can do cartwheels on the balance beam--it has been about 15 years since I did one of those, I can stand on my head and my hands, I can do skin the cat, birds nest and hip rollovers on the bars as well. I still can't stand on my knees and bounce myself to my feet, even on the vault I can't get my feet through fast enough to land on my feet, but in time that will come too! Ic an standing long jump over 7 feet and I am pretty darned sure a year ago that was more like 2 or 3. I spent most of today doing gymnastics things alone in my gym! I am really sore but I had a great time...oh, yeah, dive rolls off the springboard are as fun as when I was 10 too!

After work, I swam 1250 yards...get this.......drumroll please........in 29 minutes and aobut 15 seconds! I was amazed...next thing is the mile as fast as I can...just to see how fast that might be! I was exhausted tonight...so tired I was shaking, but I was working pretty darned hard all day too...so not sure if it was just swimming or if it was all day's workout!

1000 yards today...I am so sore I could hardly swim the first couple of hundred but I did loosen up some but not nearly enough...WOW, who'd have thought a few tricks on the gymnastics apparatus would leave me so sore I could barely function...but it was fun! I am excited too...I will be helping coach DD's swim team starting in February.

cgilson269 · #58 01-23-2005, 09:21 PM

sat in car on saturday and sunday, today i couldn't get up,
tomorrow and wed will be out of sorts - having my chemo port taken out.
yeah.....so I can't do water for about a week after that, will probably have to do tread mill, and maybe some of my tapes I have.
