Today, for the first time in ages, I went to Bally's at lunchtime. It was PACKED with other poor souls, like me, who have resolved to lose weight, lose inches, add muscle … There were so many people there today that all three rows of treadmills were in use.
I spent 30 minutes on the bike, keeping my heart rate up for the full half hour. Then I did a few reps on one of the arm machines and finished with leg lifts. It felt good to do this old body good.
I know my January dedication to fitness makes me a cliche, but I have to start somewhere.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I love the ticker in the sidebar. I struggle with the morning vs. evening routine. I'm not a morning person but I need to do it earlier in the day because I'm sooo tired in the afternoons. In either case, it has to get done. If I procrastinate, I pay. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back from vacation, gal! Back to the ...stationary bike?! LoL
ReplyDeleteI kind of want to join a gym, but I think I'll wait a month or so until it's just a little less crowded.
