Hump Day
Nov 04 2009 12:13

Weighed in at 471.2.  On 10/28 I weighed my highest ever - 483.6. 

I was hoping yesterday I would be up to taking a short walk but my back was "tired" and I do no want to push it at this stage of the game.

I did my inside exercises.  Laying down I did 4 different kinds of exercises (only 10x), sitting I did 4 leg exercises and 7 arm exercises (10x), standing with the walker I did 4 exercises (10x), partial squats at the sink (10x).

Today, with PT,  I walked around the block!  It is equivalent to 22 homes.  It was a little easier and I did not rest as much.  I think part of it the weather was much cooler.

We set some goals of me being able to walk 4 houses without the aid of the walker and getting into the vehicle.  Hopefully in two weeks I will be attempting these next two things.

My pulse went up to 126 and my oxygen was 96%.  After 2 minutes my pulse had come down to 103 with oxygen at 97%.

My energy level was pretty good this morning.

Keep on moving ~ no matter how small it is!
