Because I just seem to keep running out of time, I'm going to try posting gym log once a week on Saturdays.

On last entry I laid out my goals. I started Wednesday.

Wednesday: Walk 25 minutes--once around apt complex then partway up the mountain behind my apartment.

Thursday: Thanksgiving Day--no exercise

Friday: 15 min indoor walking/marching for aerobic exercise
Completed strength training routine which includes:

Chair Stand level 1
Overhead Press 3lb weights
Bent-over Row 3 lb weights
Calf Raise level 1
Seated Fly 3 lb weights
Arm Curl 3 lb weights
Shoulder Stretch 2
Quads Stretch 1
L-back/H-string Stretch 1
L-leg/Ankle Stretch 2

Saturday: no exercise

The Chair Stand and Calf Raise have 2 levels 1 is easy and 2 is harder to do. With the weights I'm doing 2 reps of 8 each. After I was done I didn't feel like I'd done much; but today I knew different: My legs are so sore!! So is my abdomen. I used muscles that I haven't used in a long time I'm achy--but it is a good ache.

I meant to walk today, but when I got off work I just went to sleep. I guess my body needed the nap. My strength isn't what it was before the accident. I guess that's normal--healing process and all. But physically I wasn't very strong before the accident and now I'm just exhausted. As sore as my leg muscles are--I probably needed the day off.

I will report next week!!
