I cheeeeeeeated

[cjsmith]

I got on the rowing machine a day early. I rationalized: my feet haven't shown big signs of trouble, and tomorrow I'll be on a plane and at a conference.

WOW do I feel good after a session of that.

I'm sure rowing works the biceps and the glutes and stuff, but the spot that gets tired the quickest is my back by the bottom of my ribcage. I may have better posture after a bunch of this.

Cheater. ;-)

Good to feel good after stuff like that, ain't it?

It sure is. For a while, I've been telling myself I have two choices: I can be a woman who can't do various things due to painful foot problems, or I can be a BITTER ANGRY woman who can't do various things due to painful foot problems. Neither of those choices are what I wanted, but given that they're what I've got, the choice should be obvious. Of course that doesn't make it easy. Now, with a way to exercise, I just might have a shot at the non-bitter choice!

I can certainly relate to choices like that (but not for the same circumstances/reasons, of course). I'm in a position right now where I'm noticing a serious downhill slide physically, and I'm trying to figure out exactly where to start/which area needs work first in order to get back on track. I think I've chosen the correct key: fix the apnea/snoring issues and hopefully getting more rest will give me more energy to work on the other stuff.

Fixing apnea first makes loads of sense. Sleep is so fundamental and so often ignored.
