You know, one would think that a PTA (that's physical therapist assistant which has nothing at all to do with the parent teacher association....some get confused by that abbreviation) such as myself would be in fairly decent shape. Yeah, I would have thought so, too.
Not. So.
I've recently started a regimine to whip myself in to shape and just overall feel better. In addition to biking more often with my dearest hubby and kids, I've begun doing the Wii Fit exercises again. I had been doing them pretty well, and well - life got in the way. No more. I need to do this. I'm on day 3 of really taking it seriously.
Oh. My. Goodness. I can feel muscles working that I didn't know existed (which is funny, given said occupation). I'm feeling good, though. Sore, but good.
Oh, and the balance aspect. One could also assume that a PTA such as myself would have pretty darn good balance. Afterall, that is what I work with my patients on day after day after day.
Again - wrong assumption. Let's just say I very gracefully (ha!) fell completely over yesterday as I attempted a yoga pose. I'm also pretty sure that the "tree" pose is not supposed to resemble a palm tree in a hurricaine. Mine did.
Flexibility? Nope, I'm not exactly pretzle making material....which, by watching the "trainer" on this Wii thing, one really needs to be in order to do some of these poses.
So it looks like I've got a LOT of work to do. No matter. I've got time. Actually, I'm not on any time frame at all. And like I said, I really do feel good. I feel good that I'm being proactive with my health. And hey, it always helps if I outscore the hubby. ;)
My only real issue is this daily body test. If I've been so much more active, and watching what I eat more, someone explain to me how I gained 1.2 pounds between last night and tonight! That's just nuts! I'd hate to know what would have happened if I snacked on ice cream and cookies instead of a banana with a dab of peanut butter after our bike ride tonight. (Did I mention that we rode 7.3 miles tonight? No? Well, we did!) Oh well, I'll take that with a grain of salt. It's not the daily weight that I need to worry about anyway. Now, if I gain 1.2 pounds again tomorrow - prehaps I need to reassess what I'm doing.

Good job! It will come off...and remember various things like water and that time of the month will cause our weight to go up. HATE that.
ReplyDeleteAbout your comment. There is a great discussion on my blog about being quiverful if you are ever interested in reading it. http://blessed-quiver.blogspot.com/2009/07/interview-with-finding-definition-for.html
It's really interesting.
