Day 152 - 2

[susandennis]

It was a bi day... 20 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes rowing down the 'river'. 

And... before I could open my mouth, the other old fat lady said 'good morning!' to me!! out loud!!  I promise you 6... 12 months from now, we are going to be tight buds.  You wait and see.  Oh and she had ear phones today!  Listening to the TV.  That's a first.  She's really coming out of her shell.

I got there a little after 7 and it was deserted.  By 7:20, there was not an empty treadmill to be had! 

150 days... whodathunkit?

Star me!

Triathlon next summer?

I wouldn't lay you great odds but a year ago I wouldn't have laid you great odds that I'd ever see the inside of a gym so ...

I just wanted to tell you that I'm proud of you. You have really stuck with the working out every day and building up your stamina and I hope when you see/saw your doctor, you got major kudos! Seriously, if ever a patient comes in a tells me that they're working out regularly, I damn near hug them. Lately with my patients who've been successful with their diet and exercise regimens, we've been doing a lot of handshaking and high fiving.

I love it that patients get a high five from their doctor when they work out. I don't know if they love it, but I think it's pretty damn cool. Heh.

Thank you! When I last talked to my doctor, I left him - deliberately - with the distinct impression that I would start exercising when chickens get lips. Because, at the time, I believed that. He was great. He let me know that my attitude was not a good one but that he loved me anyway.

I'm thinking that on Friday, when I go back and tell him (because I want to see if I can get off of or cut back on this way too expensive blood pressure medicine)... I'm hoping he's going to whip out his high 5. I plan to be ready just in case.
