Celebrating!

I am celebrating an upgrade in my exercise program, one more  magnificent step on my long Lyme journey, from being almost totally incapacitated to back to my vigorous active lifestyle. I took my own advice of the other day and joined my local Y on Saturday. Yesterday, I enjoyed my first real weight workout in a very long time. Today, I am celebrating the fact that I got up and am not even stiff and sore.

I gave muscles all over my body a good workout, then helped family with a major wood chipping job in the afternoon. What joy to find my body so capable! I took one of my Agel FLX packets afterwards — don’t know if that was the reason I am not stiff this morning but will experiment and let you know.

Now, you may not be ready to do a really intense workout at a gym– BUT, I ssure you your body is ready and waiting to surprise you with it’s amazing capacity! I certainly credit the path to fitness activities I devised while I had Lyme and my history of being a regular exerciser with the delight of finding how fit I still am.

So, my message for this morning is — no matter how out of shape you may be, no matter how old or young you are, no matter how long it has been since you did any “exercise,” no matter whether you like to exercise or not, the time and effort you invest in your path to fitness will pay you dividends way beyond anything you can imagine.

Do yourself a great huge favor — or maybe better said, give yourself a gift of love — MOVE your body more today than you did yesterday. Move a little more or a lot more, but whatever you do move!
