A start. And a setback.

Day 1- Did it! 45 minutes on the elliptical.

So much resistance- lost keys, yoga pants that no longer fit, and kids that needed to be taxied across town and back. I felt defeated before I even hit the gym, but I was determined that I would not let the sun set without doing some form of exercise.

Day 2- Not so much.
I was looking forward to heading back to the gym yesterday. My body had other ideas. It started about a month ago- my hands and feet have had increasing bouts of numbness. At first they would just go numb for a few minutes at a time. Then minutes stretched to hours.  By yesterday? The numbness lasted all day. My foot kept giving out, spilling me to the side as I walked. I kept waiting for it to get better, so that I could go to the gym again. It never did. I called the doctor and have an appointment for Friday. In the meantime, I have to figure out a way to work around this.
