Exercise!

2 posts in one day!!

Just had to post about exercise. I really would like to get in shape. No I don't have to be a size 6, but I would like to be able to walk up a flight of steps and not be out of breath. I would like to re-build some muscle mass. I can't believe I used to be a gym rat and a runner. I used to have pec muscles, biceps and even back muscles.

At work they offer Zumba classes. I took 4 classes over 2 weeks, and now I can barely walk.

I know surviving cancer 3 times is a feat in itself, and I shouldn't care about anything else but being alive and thanking GOD for my life. I do thank God everyday for still being here on this earth, but some days I feel like a fat cripple.

My family teases me about how old I act. I wish I felt my age, but sometimes I feel like I'm 80.

So I can't participate in Zumba. It's ok, I have an elliptical in my basement, which I worked out on yesterday morning. Then I lifted some 5 pound dumbbells. I was so proud of my self, but today I'm paying the price.

I worked on my arms, biceps, triceps, and shoulders. It's a good soreness, but why does my back hurt? It never hurt before when I did Lateral raises. Oh yeah I'm missing a muscle in my back that the Plastic surgeon used to reconstruct my right breast. So the other muscles are compensating.

Funny...

I just have to keep it up and hopefully I'll feel more like 70 instead of 80.
