Top Ten Things I Couldn't Do a Week Ago...

10. Squat down to pick something up off the floor.

9. Completely fill my lungs with a deep breath.

8. Lie down at night without foot / calf cramps.

7. Roll over in bed without gasping for air.

6. Balance on one foot.

5. Get up in the morning without a backache.

4. Pass by a fast-food place without thinking they had something I needed right then.

3. Climb the stairs to my office without getting winded.

2. Button my pants without having to "suck it in".

1. Understand that a treadmill is used for something other than hanging clothes on.

Eddie, that is exactly what I use my treadmill for: hanging clothes.
I know you must feel better to be able to do those ten things that you haven't been able to do. Believe me, I know that feeling. I have started counting my carbs, and trying to do what a diabetic should be doing. I will be going to a "refresh diabetic class" on Nov 22nd (all day). They will be working out a schedule for me to go to exercise classes at Univ. Hosp. in Martinez, with my own personal trainer. I know you were saying how it hurt you when you first started, just imagine a 75 yr. old woman doing exercises with every muscle in her body that hasn't been moved in years-OUCH. But you know what they say "NO PAIN NO GAIN". i will need all the prayers I can get.
