Re: Quasi-Meme/Sass:About that exercise thing...

I started out the beginning of this month by working out each day on a "gravity bike" or "body jack", where you work against your own weight with food pedals and handlebars.

Since I've been laying off for a long time, I'm adding one rep a day. I figure if I can keep it up to the point where I can do 100 reps a day, I'll be doing damn well. One hundred reps would mean I'd lifted a total of 37,500 lbs. in a session!

Wow! You go guy!

Meme, you sound like U R BUFF, Girl! Shoulda expected it.

Not R buff, getting buff. <G> See my post to Sassy.

Sassy, don't expect your weight to necessarily drop all that much -- you'll simply be converting fat to muscle, which is denser, so you'll still lose size, but not necessarily weight.

Quite true. A measuring tape or your pants size might be a better judge than a scale. <G> Also, an added benefit I recalled from the days I used to swim laps is the new found energy for simple, every day tasks or other unexpected events.

At 11:00 p.m. last night I couldn't resist the urge to full-tilt-boogie to "Starting Over" by Lennon, and it felt great!

That is great, keep it up. Weight bearing exercise is also great for your arthritis, too !!

Gee, thanks for the words of encouragement. When do you start your motivational speaking gig?? <G>
