Health-wise I am having a good week.
My activity levels are good, but hubby is going to take apart my elliptical this weekend and grease it well, as I guess the constant daily use is getting to it - it now squeaks wildly when I pedal forward and clunks loudly when I try doing backwards, both of which are very off-putting and have actually started to limit me getting on it as the noise is so bad.
My walking is becoming less stiff and painful though, always a good thing, although I still do not trust walking without my walker or some object for support as without it, I totter.
I think my goal in the next few weeks is to attempt to do the PT exercises that I used to do for back pain, I have tried before and it's been a no go, but I think my body is beginning to work with me again.My bed is quite firm, and very comfortable, so if I can get my body to cooperate, that would be a nice little exercise session for me.
I'm hoping that I may be able to steal $300 out of our tax refund, to get a rowing machine from Academy. I used to love being on a rower. We'll have to mount it on blocks as there's no way I could make it down to the height they are usually, LOL. If I could get my body to start rowing, that would make a change from biking on the elliptical and use more muscles although I would have to do it slowly so as not to raise my heart rate wildly.
So with my eating and exercising, I'm excited to see what my weight is next time I go to the doctor, at the end of March.
