Back to exercising...

Yes that's what I decided today... I must get back to my exercising.. yesterday was great because I walked miles.. Last month I made a calendar with daily exercises printed on it. I did fairly well the first part of the month, but then several things happened.. we went camping, then we had this to do and that to do and I got out of the rhythm of it all. When I did start back I overdid it and hurt my knee so then I stopped. Now I think I've finally wised up and know that I can't follow a strict plan because I never know how my knee or other joints are going to be. So what I've done is make a blank calendar and each day I will write in the exercise I did that particular day.. So having the calendar means I am committed to exercise but don't have to do a particular one on a particular day. As long as I do something then that's good. I can do what my joints allow me to do... but I cannot let a joint pain excuse me from doing something. I read a good quote about that once.. hmmm let me see if I can find it...

I am only one,But still I am one.
I cannot do everything, But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. - Edward Everett Hale

I rather think he meant we should probably help others, but as with any quote we take it and put our own interpretation to it.. Right now I'm taking it for me, meaning just because I can't do heavy pushups or jumping jacks doesn't mean I can't do something. Today I did 65 pulls on the cardioglide, 40 knee strengthening lifts on each leg, forty side to side back strengthening and 20 back lifts.. hate exercise but I feel better when I do it.

Rain and rain and more rain.. windy too. I didn't step one foot out the door all day long....maybe tomorrow. J
