Treadmill

Well, today was the day to climb back on & give it a go! I checked back and it had been NOVEMBER of this last year since I'd been walking! WoW!  Between the bone spurs on the bottom of my feet, the CFS, Myofascial Pain Disorder, and Arthritis...coupled with a very nasty virus around that time that lasted a good two & a half months, that's quite a stretch!

Plus the fact that since I've hit the sixties...it is just not all that easy anymore, but I keep trying. And I will as long as I can move.

I went all of 20 some minutes and didn't feel I accomplished much, but...it's a start.  I am inspired by a young lady in town who has been getting on her treadmill and walking of late. I admire her efforts and felt maybe I'd better start myself. I used to walk every day & over a mile. It felt good and I felt better. But it is getting more difficult with all the things working against me.  =[ 

I don't do it to lose weight (although that would be nice) ... but to try to be at my best level of health possible. I have a good 'shakes like a bowl full of jelly...belly' going that needs me to walk too!
I guess it all comes down to those three C's mentioned in my last post.  The first one involves taking that first step. I only hope I can continue. It seems I can go a couple of days and then some darn fool thing will flare up and stop me.


I would always use the time on the TM to pray too. Otherwise, I am not a very disciplined pray-er and can sort of just go at it willy-nilly. I have missed the solid prayer times. So...despite the fact I swore off sweets (I stuffed a huge brownie in my mouth today)...and failed, I will keep going on the machine as often as possible and T R Y not to eat the sugary stuff (my downfall is chocolate!) Guess I should add that as a fourth C in the equation! Just gotta have it! But...will do my best to choose the right stuff to help better my health. I won't give up and that must count for something!
