Fitness - if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.  ~Cher~

Thanks Cher - if only I was being fitted for a Bob Mackie see-through-glitter-catsuit...then maybe I'd be more motivated!

OK - kidding aside - this week was much tougher.  I really need to find the best time for me to get to the gym.  I managed to make it 3 times this week - not my goal of 4, but I have made a vow to add it to my schedule with calendar reminders and I've made a commitment to a gym buddy - both should help. I do like Planet Fitness a lot - it's economical and there is variety there.  I alternate between the elliptical and recumbent bike - great options for someone with a deformed foot and a no-impact exercise directive.

I also realized that I was so excited that I was just cleared to exercise by the docs that my week's goal might have been too much too soon.  My 40 minutes 4 times a week was ambitious...and I think I overdid it.

However, I intend to make up for my shortcomings this week by easing into exercise and truly making it part of my regular schedule.  Soon 40 minutes 4X a week will be nothing!

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way.....Does anyone have Bob Mackie's phone number? ;)
