Hi Lovely Ladies!

Weather still crummy here in Salt Lake, so hubby and I went to the gym at the local community center where we bought Senior Golden Passes and could begin to use the fitness equipment there.

I actually worked out conservatively, gingerly and delicately (I have fibromyalgia and a bad knee and haven't done any exercise in over 18 months!) and I didn't die!!

I came away feeling really proud of myself, and promptly after lunch fell asleep in the car while hubby drove us up north to do some shopping. I drooled on myself and talked in my sleep and felt like a ton of bricks had hit me when I woke up!!!

But I AM STILL GOING BACK ON SATURDAY TO FACE THE GYM ONCE AGAIN!!

Hopefully, by the time tomorrow night rolls around, when hubby gets home from work, he will help me mount and stay upright on my brand new bike for the FIRST TIME!!!!..... and not fall and break something, and maybe actually be able to balance and ride it around the Rv park we're in.

I live right next to the Jordan River Parkway here in Salt Lake City so what could be better than that? I am so excited about trying my newbie bike tomorrow.

I cycled at the fitness center for about 20 minutes to get myself ready for riding my one speed cruiser. I sure hope I can do it without making a bigger fool of myself than I already have (you should have seen the looks I got at the fitness center, trying not to fall off the situp bench, which I never could fit my lardy butt on properly without teetering sideways....)


BUT NEVER FEAR!!! WONDER GIRL IS HERE! Neither snickering nor astonished and embarassed -for-me-looks will deter this woman from getting back in shape and riding her NEW BIKE!!

So, stay tuned for the results: will I fall over and splat, trying to get it going? Will I run over hubby's toes and make him fall, trying to help me balance till I can get going? Will I crash and burn on the asphalt twenty feet from my doorstep? Or will I fly like a bird on wings down the road???

Oh, well whatever I do will be alright because once you're over 60 nobody believes you can do anything athletic, so what the heck, do it anyway and let them gawk!


HAH!!!!

mmelindas the brave, fat and daring.....
