Gym, Jim or Gem !

Had to put this here.  My daughter put this on fb and I have laughed and laughed about it.  Wouldn't we all like to do this.

The Gym is going great.  I really do love going and doing all the workouts.  I have lost 1 inch on my hips, 1 inch on my waist and 1 inch on my thigh which is not what I should be doing as Irene said you want to gain inches of muscle there.  Don't know why that is happening.  I also gained in my upper arm, I believe that was an inch or maybe not can't remember for sure but Irene said that was good as it is muscle.  I do really feel stronger in my upper body and love doing those weight machines.  It's such a challenge to try and do more weights and I love how good it makes me feel.  Today I did the bike.  I went 3.2 miles in 30 minutes at between 6.9 and 7.2 miles per hour.  I have done better then that as went 4.2 miles in 30 minutes at I think around 8.4 miles per hour.  What I do is bike normal at number1 for about 3  minutes.  Then the last 30 seconds of a minute will pump it up to 4, 5, or 6 which is a lot harder to cycle.  When the 30 seconds is over bring it back down to 1 and settle down.  I do this about every 3 or 4 minutes.  I want to slowly get my heart up and then let it rest.  I do have artrial Fibulation and sometimes my heart beats funny, not in a balanced beat.  So hoping to get all the muscles around my heart strong.  Hey its making me feel great and I love the feeling of sore muscles.  I know I have challenged myself and will always try harder. 

You noticed in the title I put gym, Jim or gem.  Well on the 12th is Jim and I's  "45"  Wedding Anniversary.  So that is where the Jim comes from and I'm sure you have guessed the gem is for the sapphire which represents the 45 Anniversary.  Hey, a girl can dream.  What we are planning on doing is leaving very early Sunday morning and heading to Mendocino, CA.  We do love that town and just spend the day.  Have a couple good meals, enjoy each others company, oh and, have I told you we have a New Prius !  It's a dream all in itself.  All you have to do is go to the gas pumps.  We average anywhere from 47 to 52 miles per gallon.  Not kidding !  It's a beautiful car, we got the 3 as it has the navigation which we do like once we figured out how to use it.  If you are thinking about it, think no longer.  Go, go get it, go get it now !!! You won't be sorry and think of all the trips you can take now that gas is not a factor.  Tootles
