susandennisI did it!!!! From standing to lying on the floor and back up to standing without holding on to anything!!!!! I could not believe it. It was not that easy but I was able to do it 12 times. I'm betting it will get easier. I doubled up on my squat exercises to hurry up the process. I think everyone should practice starting calling me Thunder Thighs.
Again the gym was crowded. In fact, I never even got to the weight bars I use for push ups and chin ups. I need to get Rosie to show me an alternative for when that station is busy.
I do remember now that Tuesdays are rough. I don't think I have the exercises right and feel all spastic. Thursdays, I hit my stride. I sure did today. Nice.
Oh and one more gym note. There used to be a woman about my age and shape who was in the gym every morning - I called her the other old fat woman. I worked for weeks to get friendly with her - to get to where we could exchange a 'good morning!'. I made it and then she disappeared. I saw her yesterday!! I went over to the deli (in the same building) to get lunch and saw her going into the gym!! She's just changed schedules. She didn't see me but I know we would have exchanged 'hi!'s.
Shower!!
