More better

I was able, with the assist of a nap, to go two places today.  Coffee this morning and an early dinner with one of my older friends.  I am exhausted and had to cut short our after-dinner conversation, which is really difficult to do with this lovely woman.  Even talking during the time we were eating was almost more than I could handle.  Baby steps back to feeling well.  I am getting there.  I can feel that I am better every day.

So, I was looking through a week's worth of mail yesterday and there was one of those coupon magazines, the smallish ones that have coupons and special offers from businesses around town.  Well, not my town, but the big one near here.  There is a new fitness place that has a low monthly fee and no contracts.  I do not know what they offer or the price or anything, and will contact them tomorrow or, more likely, on Monday to find out if they will accept an ancient crone who is dying, literally, to be more fit.

I was listening to the radio whilst getting cat food and groceries and a ton more over the counter stuff at the pharmacy and some program was on and I heard that if you are sedentary, as in sitting for at least six hours a day that you exponentially increase your chances of dying and/or developing high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems or having a stroke.  Surely I must have heard these exact same things dozens of times.

But, yesterday was different.  And, then I sit down (yeah, an ontheroadtodying pun) to take a look at all of the mail that accumulated and there was the fitness place thing.  I could do that, whatever it is that they offer.  I am pretty sure that I could, not even knowing what it is about, because if their monthly fee is so low, it is likely that they do not beat you with a stick to make you keep going until you bleed or your knees crumble or  your head explodes.  Doncha think?  The advertisement makes a big deal about offering a free fitness assessment and instruction on their machines, but that is just a liability issue for them.

Yeah, I could do that as long as they let me go at my own pace.  My fucked up joints are going to be the major hurdle to fitness for me, but if I go as often as possible, like every other day, every time that I go I will be able to do whatever it is that they do there a little longer each time.

I am going to see if they are on-line and I am hoping ever so hard that this could work for me.  I have nothing to lose except for a few hours and a few dollars and if it is not a good match for me then know I can handle the guilt of yet another failure because I have more experience in that arena than anyone should have to bear.

Yeah.  I could do this.  I am willing to cough out a lung trying.  Yeah.
