The leg swelling is gone today. I don't know if it's because I've been walking on it around the house more or because I reinstituted the standing calf stretch that I have done every night for eons or because Dr. Church is such a wonderful healer that all he had to do was touch my leg and I was cured!!
I went to the library to look at the February 2008 issue of Consumer Reports in which they reviewed elliptical machines. The "best buy" was a Nordic and it was $1000. Hmmm, that would be two years at LA Fitness Center and the machine would probably break in the meantime. The next one was over $2000.
I'm still debating joining the gym but would really like to see the doctor in Albuquerque first to see what he recommends for my foot problem. In the meantime, I'm sure that my butt is accruing loads of lard from not exercising! : ) At least yesterday I had time to do abs, upper body and yoga from my fitness dvd's but today has been too busy.
A good plan would be to go to the water aerobics classes when my bathing suit comes tomorrow. Ack - I wasted my time showering as I'll get doused in chlorine in the classes! Ah, come on - you could at least try it. It would buy time until next Tuesday. Maybe I could talk the LA Fitness Center into another day pass to also buy time. What I really want to do is WALK!!!! Moving right along...
