Marge

people that have joined. I guess it has been a year or so since I last blogged. Some of my old Buds must think I’m dead. Surprise !! This old gal is determined to keep up her body and not be a drag on my kids. Not that they haven’ been a drag on me at times. I want to stay in my apartment, manage my life without calling on them all the time. I take taxis to Dr. My kids have jobs and their own kids. My grandsons are 24 and 20. I only slipped a little bit on my eating plan during this year, but I did gain 10 pounds back. This is war. My injuries have slowed me down to the point I hired a cleaner. Sweet girl. But she didn’t clean where I asked her to and was very expensive. Physical therapy is keeping my spirits up and helping me maintain my own apartment.    I used to blog about d-i-l and her long fight against cancer. She has been in remission for over a year. Thank you! Let’s do this thing. Just buckle down and do it. Love, Marge

and then the old body got tired of the stress of being in the w/c and working with my arms over my head so much. Degenerative Disc Disease began to take it’s toll on my neck and old injuries from the past. The pain has been great BUT I am tired of giving in. In 6 months my muscles got so weak, I fell while standing by w/c and couldn’t get up. That has changed. I found a great P.T. gym and someone able to work with my limitations. I am so much stronger and have a group of other old ladies in my apartment building to exercise with. We are in there just flailing away with small weights three times a week for an hour each time.  I have been slipping on my GOOD foods too and last week went through my fridge and tossed some cheese, etc. I have about ten pounds to take off AGAIN. This certainly is a lifelong job. Reading your blogs helps steer me in the right direction. I can’t wait to begin spinning again. Marge
