It’s not likely I’ll have time to get my body toned and fit before my doctor appointment next week. I’m sort of resigned to being all lumpy for the rest of my life, but I would have liked to make a good impression when I meet him for the first time. If only so that he wouldn’t have to mention it, you know? The lumpiness?
Even though it’s too late, I’ve finally put myself back on a (mild) exercise program, just a few minutes every morning. It’s probably not enough to get me in shape, and definitely not before next Wednesday, but at least I’m finding out what I can still do, and what I can’t.
One thing I can’t do is push-ups, but I never could do very many of those even when my body was sound (if it ever was). I was never much for sit-ups or stomach crunches, either, but I can still do them as well as I ever could. You could look on that as a good thing, since that’s the area that needs the most work. I’m okay with standing yoga poses, but anything that involves putting weight on my hands, of course, is out. (And there are a lot of such positions.) |
