Okay, I have been surprised with a health issue and have been silent awhile while going through testing and worry and quite frankly, not exercising my body at all lately. Not sure what is going on as I am still having tests scheduled just know it is an unidentified growth on my liver. All my dug up equipment is here, my dumb-bell set that is over fifteen years old as well as the "Thigh Master" from Suzanne Summers (how many years ago was that anyway?), and it still works. I did purchase a soft floor to exercise on and an exercise ball. I have got to get myself back on track, but how do you do that when your mind is clouded with all the failing economy, being laid off for over a year, investing my entire 401K in internet businesses and the bottom dropping out of the financial world and no monies coming in, just to mention a few of my worries these days.
I have been working my creative side in my nervousness, I make custom jewelry, and custom ceramic and polymer clay southwest collectibles. I have been making product fast and furiously, working until I am beat. BUT NOT EXERCISING THE BODY
I am not a heavy person and I think because I am not over-weight I tend to think I don't need the physical exercise, not true, because now I am feeling frail and I have always been an active outdoor rock-hunter and hiker and have not been out to do that in a long while. I plan to get back into exercising slowly by starting with sit ups and upper body resistance workouts with weights. Today I will get some pics of this out of shape body and then I will have pics to compare because I intend to get back in shape, no matter what health issues may arise.
I am maintaining a good attitude, not easy some days, but I find if I think of all I have to be thankful for and remembering those first and foremost the other things are not as daunting.
I will post pictures (if they aren't too scary) LOL tomorrow for weekly comparisons of my progress and success.
