Sounds like a mom of four to me... if it's on the calendar, it's all good... otherwise it doesn't exist

Good for you, that's impressive - both to remember and to do it!

Thanks Barrnone.
It does take effort first to get up and go and then to get moving trying to keep up with the others. I do feel good once I am there and after a class I am proud of myself. Most of the classes are also "fun" because of the instructors, so that is why I keep going. They say find something fun to do for exercise and you will keep doing it. Well that is half the battle.

mission - you are doing it, be proud of yourself.

I'm checking in with day 2 - I did 12 minutes on the 'fanny lifter' [I'm going to go up 2 minutes a day]. It was tough, but got thru it...hoping my 'fanny' will benefit!

11 minute walk around the park, accompanied by a parade of drunk students fresh into university. They'll run out of drinking money in a week, make actual friends and stop going everywhere in packs, and the neighbourhood will settle back down

day 3 - long walk into town, and I even did the hill back without needing a nap after!
