Gotta Do It!

I went to the doctor today and was told, "Excercise, exercise, exercise!"  (Help!)   An operation is in the future, but, if I can strengthen the muscles in my abdomen and back, I might be able to keep the doctor's knife out of the picture for awhile longer.   So, today I went to the pool and then stayed for the exercise class.  That was fun!  Tiring, but fun!  The instructor played classic rock, which was the dance music of the late sixties and early seventies.    Its amazing how light one feels in the pool.  I felt like a feather and could dance while in the water.  Afterwards, as I walked up the steps out of the pool, I felt like the weight of the world was upon me.  Its amazing how God created this world!

The rain began this afternoon.  This is a perfect day to now make some scones.  It was a great Easter weekend.  The rest of this day is going to be to relax.  Tomorrow...and every day....more exercises...and so on, for the rest of my life.  There must be a fun way to exercise, I can only go to the pool once or twice a week.  I can't complain though, there are so many people hurting and so many disabled!   I am sure they would burst into tears of happiness,  if they could just do some sit-ups to overcome their burden.   God help us all.

Do or are you following a particular program for your exercises? rubber bands, weights, or just winging it?

Tim's sister sent us some rubber bands for Tim to use years ago, but I don't know what I did with those. So far, just exercises in the pool. I was going to start modified sit-ups and push-ups last night, but there I went procrastinating again!!
