Hi everyone!
Welcome Lisa! You are doing so well already...and with the support, information, and encouragement here, I just know you will succeed! Congrats on already starting the knee exercises...when I was 32, I was just about hobbling out of my car at the end of the day, from being overweight and not exercising, and being on my feet all day...with steady exercise, that knee pain has NOT come back!
GeorgiaLady, CONGRATS on another pound lost!!! That is great!
aphil, congrats on your performance going so well! That must have been thrilling for you. And thank-you for introducing me to Lisa as a sister-wild-girl!
Hi tryin'hard!! Yes, we knew that you'd be super-busy in your new position as principal. Good to know that we're in your thoughts, and you are always thought of being "here", too.
hi tooround, good for you to try something different! Adding something else to the routine to shake the body up, lol.
Idealperson, congrats on your loss also!
hi zadie k! Hope your well and happy.
Hi to everyone else! I have slipped a bit in eating, have got to nip that. Exercise is still going well and strong; have improved a bit more in the harder Gilad tape, so now I add the torture of ankle weights to the leg section - what does not kill me will make me stronger! lol
I had a COOL day today! Went by myself to a local small airport; a B-17 Flying Fortress and a B-52 were scheduled to fly in around 10:30; I got there before 10:30 (of course on the 'cycle) and waited..and waited...and waited...they were VERY late, so I wandered to the Flight Station, and looked for an instructor that is friends with my sister; she got her private pilot's license with this guy.
So I met him, and his friends; and they gave me a tour of the airport garage; then when we found out that the planes were STILL not to arrive for an hour, one of the guys asked me, "so, you wanna go for a ride up there?" pointing heavenward. DO I EVER!
So I crawled into his Cessna, he strapped me in, gave me the headset, and we took off!! It was so great!!!!! He asked if I lived nearby, and I told him where; it's almost 30 miles by motorcycle, and about 35 minutes; well, by plane, going 140 mph we flew over my house about 8 minutes later! I had my digital camera, so took tons of pics; what an adventure!
On the way back to the airport, his radio transmission told him that the B-17 was just entering the area - we had to wait in the air 'til the B-17 landed; that was cool seeing it in the air!!! So we landed after they did; I thanked the guy profusely, and then paid $8.00 to take a tour of the B-17. What an aircraft; awesome. And met some very nice gentlemen who actually flew in B-17's, and told us what it was like. One gentleman asked me if I had any questions; I just said, "can I just say thank you, for your service and your sacrifice to your country". He almost choked up, he was so touched. Well, I meant it.
So, keep on your programs, drink your water, exercise, and watch for those emerging muscles!
