My first day at the gym.

Well the back has quieted down enough for me to start my new exercising. I'm so grateful to my old employer they have a deal set up with my insurance company and a fitness club here in town so I can work out at no charge. So my good buddy Brian Henderson also belongs so we are holding each other accountable to get some exercise three mornings a week . I'm starting out slow just walking and stretching. I've also set as a goal to not eat any high cal. snacks ,like potato chips and those girl scout cookies that have shown up in the past few days, for this week. I'm looking at this like my quitting smoking one day at a time one week at a time. Anyway this all came about because my last blood work showed a direct correlation between my retirement and high LDL low HDL and high glucose so when asked by my Dr. those two terrible questions; are you exercising and are you watching what you eat my answer was No. The free ride is over I need to work out a little and watch what I'm eating a bit more. I have a goal but I'm keeping it to my self for now. I am happy that I have my Buddy Brain to keep me motivated. I spent the last half of my walk just asking Jesus to help me finish. I'm thinking that this could be good for my prayer time. Well more later. I.m tired and heading to bed. Bye for now
