I just did one of my exercise programs, Body Electric, for the first time in two or three months (I haven't done it reliably since before my grandfather's funeral). I'm too exhausted to do Sit and Be Fit which comes on immediately after Body Electric. I can really tell that I've lost strength. Things that would have been, if not easy, at least possible back in October were too much today. I don't think there was a single exercise I could do all the way through without stopping to rest. I stepped back the weights, using three pounders where I would have used fives and twos where I would have used threes, and that didn't really help.

Sit and Be Fit is a lot easier than Body Electric, so I might have been able to do that anyway, but I'm very shaky, and I thought I'd better work my way up. Maybe I should have started with Sit and Be Fit instead of Body Electric. But Body Electric does me more good, I suspect.

Now I just have to keep it up and start walking on the treadmill in the basement.

YAY EXERCISE!!!!!

(Me personally, I hate exercise (though I do it regularly anyway), and I'd guess it's not your favorite thing either, so I figured some supportive cheering might be helpful.)

GO ANNE!!!!!!!!
