      I'll put in another Amen! I did 14 leg raises and stretches. I hope to move past this point, but it is taking me a long time.

        That's great Virginia!

        My surfing buddies and I are planning to help a woman with MS move to her new place in the Spring, just light stuff. We are very stoked about it. We might miss a morning of surfing, but it would be worth it, right? Well, depends on the waves...

          Today I swam 750 yards, a major mental accomplishment. Yesterday after surfing took me six hours to recover. The fourth hour I had to army crawl in the house.

          So, I was nervous about swimming today because I didn't want to tempt fate.

          But, I decided to face fear and swim.

          It felt great. Am resting as a precaution. It has come to this...

            There is that darn attachment again. WTF? Maybe Howie did it...

              I don't see an attachment, BBS. Whatever it is, though, you can be fairly sure Howie had something to do with it.

                I wonder if that's what he calls an "amen"?

                  It's weird. It pops up then disappears. When it happens again I will take a screen shot of it.

                    I did 16 leg stretches per leg today.

                      Virginia, are those the leg stretches where you lie on your back and raise one straight leg up as high as you can while holding it up there for a count of 30?

                      I used to have to do those--for years and years. Just now I'm doing others.

                            Just following this thread is motivating me....

                            Hello Virginia,
                            Because I have been following your posts I have been using my band more faithfully and that has sparked me to be more active throughout the day. I use that strap I mentioned and do try to exercise for 10 minutes before I 'gracefully' even get out of bed.

                            . I do leg raises and use the strap especially on my left leg. But am I mostly getting arm exercise? After a dozen leg raises it is my arm pulling it up with the strap!

                            Whatever is happening, any movement helps. Any movement helps...any movement helps... Maybe I will try to obsess on those 3 words. I wish we were all together to start the day with a chanting circle with that as our mantra!
                            Linda~~~~

                            Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says:"Oh Crap, She's up!"..

                              You all make me look bad. Feeding and watering the cats, and cleaning their litter boxes wears me out. My reward, this big mug of coffee. I just can't exercise, never could do it on my own.

                                Any movement helps - any movement helps - any movement helps. I will try to chant that as I do my leg raises.

                                Agate, HOLD IT FOR A COUNT OF 30!!! I've got a lot more work to do than I thought. I have been holding it for a fast count of 10. How many leg raises did you do?

                                Howie, cars really run on air - had you not heard? I occasionally have to have my air filter changed and that proves it.
