Steady she goes!
I have exercise restrictions too. After I finished physical therapy (because my insurance allotment for PT for the fiscal year had run out), I asked if I could join just the pool in the facility where I was going for PT. Since I have been continuing my PT exercises (plus added more) regularly in the warm pool, I have managed to remain relatively pain-free since shortly after Christmas, even though I still need a hip replacement and have limited range of motion on dry land. It's been a real godsend, and not being in pain constantly motivates me to keep going. Now, only if I could get motivated to be more consistent with healthy eating!

Regognizing progress
That was a very inspirational story on a day when I need to be kind to myself and realize just how far I've come already. Too often we're in such a hurry to get to the next step that we don't really stop to appreciate and pat ourselves on the back for all we've done aready to get where we are today.

Arthritis
I know from my physical therapy that exercising in a pool is much easier on your joints. Bicycling is supposed to be good too, but for me it depends on the type of recumbent bike. The ones at the Y are good, but the one in the exercise room of the clubhouse where I live is hard to get onto. Another thing that is good for so many reasons is a rebounder (mini-trampoline). It takes some getting used to in terms of balance, but it's great for your lymphatic system and is easy on the joints. I can even jog on mine a little, and my knees don't hurt at all.

Jimmy Johns Unwich Subs
That is good to know! I have never been to a Jimmy John's, but you've given me a great reason to try it. More places should have options like that!

Going in vacation next week
Where is the beach resort? Might you be able to swim, play water volleyball, do aqua aerobics, get in some extra walking while sightseeing? Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you have to go off your plan foodwise, either. Almost everywhere you could go will have some choices that are healthier than others. If you do over-indulge, just try to get back on track as soon as possible.
