"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for every dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."~~~Stephen King

What shape am I...

My friend Marie was just commenting on how she's going bicycle riding this Friday, after not riding one for 30 years. Accolades to her!

One never forgets how to ride a bicycle, no, but I think our muscles do! I rode my bike just a couple of years ago in fact, but hardly went a mile. My jelly legs wouldn't go much further!
My husband and I have been discussing buying me a recumbent bike and putting it in the basement, alongside our treadmill. They're not as hard on your joints and back as a regular exercise bike. I'd start out slowly and work myself up to.....a mile! We have a flat screen TV down there and also a stereo. My husband and I (this is the plan) would exercise together...he on the treadmill and me on the bike. I am not making this a New Year's resolution. My only resolution for the year is to live life to the fullest!

Seriously though, I need to get myself in better shape. The shape I'm in now is not even considered a shape. Since I had surgery almost four years ago, my weight has slowly and consistently changed...in the wrong direction and has been distributed in the wrong places!
