I needed that
So, Dr. Mike and I talked about weight conditioning to regain some tone in my right arm and leg, at my visit yesterday. I'm really trying to do what I need to in order to help my recovery. Luckily, there is a fitness center in my office with a multi-station machine. Even better is that I have a "fitness buddy" at the office. Antron and I are friends, and we have been for about a year. We sit next to each other and are both "support," so our schedules are pretty fluid. We also cheer eachother up when we need it.
I told Antron about the dr. visit yesterday afternoon and he told me he'd go to the fitness center with me, because no body likes to go alone. So, we made a "date" to go work out today at 12:30. It pushed to 1, then it got pushed to 2, then 2:30. Just office stuff. So, we just finished our work -out. He helped me set the weights on the machines to their lightest (and didn't laugh at me because of it ). I worked on my right arm and leg, letting that side do most of the work. My arm and leg are now tired and burning a little, but not badly. I can work on my balance next time - Monday. That will be good.
Sam and I are supposed to take a walk tonight, but I'll have to see how I feel when I get home. My schedule will be fitness center Monday, Wednesday and Friday, walks Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, once I get everything scheduled. Right now, it's a little wonky.
Sunday will definitely be for "doing nothing."
I'm feeling better about the whole situation. I have a plan of attack. I may not make every day, Monday through Saturday at first, and I may be super tired after the fact, when I do, but I have a plan of attack and I need that. I am a goal oriented person. One of the things that has been making me crazy and depressed is not having a goal. Now I do.
