I have missed this site. Things were going great with my life (HA)
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

I’m so happy to hear how much you care about staying in shape and taking care of pain. This is our one body and our one chance. I hate dealing with all this weight stuff and diabetes, but the alternative is not in question. I hope to take some classes on eating right, along with computer classes and spanish. I will probably graduate in my 70’s but I’m going for it anyway. Hang in there hope your pounds melt away. I did a water aerobic class once that was harder than it looked but put no pressure on joints. Not to mention it was fun.
