Good Plan

[susandennis]

When last I did my Jeopardy treadmill walk, it was no big deal. This morning I was ready to quit at the first commercial break. Clearly, it's time to get back into it. I made it to the end of the show. And plan to keep it up daily. My elbow is still not happy so no swimming until it is fine and dandy. I'm grateful for the treadmill. Plus, with the new bedroom arrangement there is plenty of room and it is out of the way.

Oh and TiVo has 6 Jeopardys recorded so I'm even set there for a while.

When I exert myself (like walking or trying to climb stairs), I easily run out of breath. I run out of breath really before I run out of strength. I never know if the breath thing is COPD or fat. I actually know it's both and being fat does not help. It would help if I hated being fat more than I enjoyed eating whatever I want and sitting. But, alas...

Chewy's got some of Biggie's food back in stock so yeah. It will be here Monday. Amazon delivered some yesterday. So we're good for now. He's not as appreciative as he should be.

Today is tidy up day. The kitchen needs it and the front hallway for sure. Oh and the living room a little. Then probably some TV and crochet. Dinner and baseball tonight. I'll leave here about 5ish.

oops forgot to hit post.

So... I'll add. The last time I gave up swimming for the treadmill, one of the factors high on the CON side was my shower. The showers at the gym were way better than my risking life and limb getting in and out of the tub/shower. This morning, as I glided into my way way way much better than the gym walk in shower, I was grateful all over again. Best $10k I ever spent.

elbow

Is your elbow issue tennis elbow. If it is, get one of the tennis elbow braces. One of the strap kind. I used to use Bike brand but not sure they have them any more. They worked for me.
Does Biggie seem to miss going out on the balcony?

Nope. when I open the door to go out or come back in he never races for it. Doesn't seem to care

Cats are never grateful. They take it as their due.

Enjoy the game and be glad you aren't in this area. They are having a soccer game tonight in Austin and it will be over 100 when it starts.

It might get up to 70 today but it's cloudy so with no sun, it will feel more like mid-60's and, yes, i am exceedingly grateful :) hope your team wins anyway.

My mother is as slender as a reed and she gets out of breath too, so I'm not sure fat has much to do with it. Her breathing does get better the more she exercises, though, which she finds pretty motivating.
