I've still got this F* flu... no swimming, can't even get to the letter box without exhaustion. Almost two weeks of my life I will NEVER get back... I will have forgotten how to swim by the time I can breath well enough to go again... I can feel my body dying and I feel so lousy, sore and have to start all over again to build up my stamina... I'm so cross! Going back to bed. sigh..

I walked about 6 blocks or so, to the store and back, which is never a small feat for me. The last time I tried to walk to the store my legs cramped up something awful and I had to have someone bring me back home. I was happy to make it there and back today.

I kinda always exersized for a flat stomach and I put it off so I never got it. I have a soft midsection and my back tends to bow a little because my torso is a little longer.

So New Years I decided stomach every day and I did it. Only a few sit-ups sometimes but everyday.

Then I thought what if you really do this? I mean I've exersized to one degree or other my entire adult life. I read a body building article once and the guy said "2000 sit-ups a day."

So I thought what if I did a thousand? So I did it.

First problem is counting, I lose track. So I started the stop watch. It was about 10 minutes.
So now I just set the watch and I don't count. I do anything, any kind of sit-up or leg lift and just keep going for 10 minutes.

It's been about six week. Every day but Sunday even God rested lol. It's a big difference. Not enough, but very noticeable. : )

Moral of the story practice works.

I walked about a mile or so in the 96-degree heat with fibromyalgia and arthritis pain over my entire body, every step of the way. I could barely push thru the pain but I did it.

I got back on the treadmill this morning. Going to build up again, trying not to pull the same muscle again.

I’ve been swimming almost every day for the past month, minus this week (sick). It’s expensive, but I had a few days on the lake/river that reset my head right about at the same time I did something to my feet (come to find, fractured 6 of the little bones, don’t ask me how, not a clue).

My swimming still sucks... never did the rehab on my shoulder surgery a few years back, nor my lungs post flu year before last. So I can only hold my breath about 30 seconds, instead of 2 minutes... and can only do a few laps in a row... but it’s a start.

In my head I’m still doing/able to do 5x5s every morning (5mi run up the beach, 5mi swim back), but maybe someday I’ll be back to doing them for real.

I got out of the house today. And walked. It felt weird seeing people after hiding. I walked to "el salvador" and had 2 pupusa. Then with a step suddenly i am back in canada. I walked 10 blocks in total.

*there is an El Salvadorian place i really like. The food takes long time because its a couple that runs it and there is a sense of home. Next time tamales!
