I Think I Am Going To Enjoy My New Exercise Plan!

I am happy. I just completed my first day of the new physio plan and it is going to be very good, I think.  By the time I work up to 30 reps per each of the sixteen exercises the routine will take about one hour to complete, but for now it is taking just 45 minutes. Only having to do it once a day now means that I can take time to also walk a bit farther in stores and out of doors at other times of the day without worrying that I will miss a physio session and set myself back again on my recovery.  It means I am free to practise walking with even weight on both feet even when using the cane; to  get going on my  regular daily household chores without worrying that I will hurt my hip as I continue to improve and get stronger muscles.

 It has been a good day. My Thursday morning visitor is becoming even more of a prayer partner and we are having many spiritual conversations that I find edifying. I hope she feels the same way.  

Just before lunch another friend called to see if my husband could take a break from his preparation for this coming Sunday service long enough for us to go to her house for a visit.  We went and had a delightful time with her and her husband.  We all have so many interesting life stories to share. It seems that after being friends for the past 6 years or so we still have not run out of memories to share together.  It has been quite a lovely day.  

 Being so busy today meant my exercising didn't get done until late this afternoon, but my plan is, for most days when possible, to do the physio right after breakfast and then deliberately plan housework and short walks outside for after lunch.  Looks like we have a few days in the coming week when it will be cool enough to get outside for a few minutes without getting heat stroke, before a couple of uber hot days next week.  It is all good.  

I am exhausted from the first day of this new physio plan, so I am most grateful that my husband took it upon himself to make a chick pea curry tonight for dinner.  He grew some curry plant this summer so his chana masala tastes much more authentic now.  The smells emanating from our kitchen are most enticing.  Can't wait for dinner time to arrive!!
