In My Groove
I met and worked out with my personal trainer at the gym yesterday and am due to go back again today. I'll be at the gym four or more days a week. For a person who has eschewed all but neccessary physical activity, I surprazed myself by enjoying my workout of an hour and a half.
I did treadmill for 20 minutes before and after the work with machines and weights, and I expected to be really sore this morning but I'm only slightly uncomfortable. Yep, I'm feeling pretty good about this whole getting in shape thing. I am praying the Lord will keep me fired up about it.
On another extraordinary note, I beat Richard at Rail Baron (a board game based on railroads in the U.S.). Although an old family favorite, we had not played the game since moving here. Actually, I have not found it. I know I saw it since we moved but have no idea where, so we played on one borrowed from Athena.
Next, we went to play Bingo at the clubhouse and to IHOP for pancakes after. It was a fun day of mostly play. Dr. Schutz would have been proud. He thinks I try too hard, struggle too much. It's his opinion that my reactions to my symptoms are more of a problem than the symptoms themselves and makes them worse. He says I need to get some good Motown music and "Get in my groove."
My good doctor wants me to start my day with Aretha and get in the mood (my Groove, I guess). Okay, so I bought the Best of Aretha Franklin on CD and searched the web for posters of her or pictures I liked. I'm going to "Get Down, Baby!"
Do I think this will make a difference in my recovery? Not in the least. Am I willing to try it anyway? Absolutely! I will try anything not forbidden by God.
I do think I need to lighten up some. In my concern to keep track of what's going on and avoid mistakes, I have become far too grim, a lot less fun and just plain a drag to be with.
Enough already! Have a great day!!
