Oof. I had a lot of trouble with my workout this morning. I'm following a book and repeated most of the first level, because I didn't feel ready to move up to the next level. I went on and moved up this morning and I felt like I couldn't do half of it. Not like the exercises were hard or I could barely make it through, but flat out couldn't do them. The routine is to do each exercise for 30 seconds and then rest 30. Several of them I just found myself collapsing after about 15 seconds. Some days I feel like I'm making progress and then days like this I feel useless.

I've also decided to try to alternate days of working on push-ups, planks & squats with the book workouts and Pilates. I also want to start walking some. But doing all that, I start to feel like I've gone too long between each thing. I might have to add some short walks at a different time of day. I also need to be doing Ankle PT at least twice a day. So change-ups are coming for June, I just don't know what yet.

Goals:[/B] To be more capable, able to take part in active travel, and participate in new activities.
Interim goals: Stand up from seated position easily using just my feet, walk 2 miles without feeling it, climb 2 flights of stairs without getting winded, do a push-up (knees)
