Today, after doing a bunch of household chores, I went back to the gym for the first time since November 1. I can scarcely dignify the fifteen minutes I spent on the elliptical as a workout, but it’s a start, and that felt good. I could have done more, but I wanted to make sure I’d have enough strength afterwards to go outside, as the weather today was pleasantly mild, and there’s rain in the forecast for the next few days.
I did manage to go out and pick up some mini-croissants that I included in my lunch. It was, all things considered, a fairly substantial lunch.
Late this afternoon I visited a friend.
Another quiet day.
In my book, 15 minutes is a workout even for those who aren’t facing your challenges. Give yourself a pat on the back! (And have something tasty in addition to those croissants…) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am just astonished that you can get on an elliptical machine for any time at all at this point in your treatment. I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to, were I in your shoes.
