Well I'm back today. Sadly, my brother died on Aug. 3rd, and during those last 2 weeks of hospice until now I just didn't care about diet or exercise. Naturally I gained back the 5 lbs I lost back in July. We had a nice graveside memorial for him last Friday, and now I think I'm finally ready to get back to diet and exercise. I keep saying if you stop walking you start dying, and that's pretty much what happened to Henry. He became bedridden around 6 years ago, even though he was 3 years younger than me. It's important to stay strong and healthy, so I'm going to get back into it.
I finished the Foundations course for Silver Sneakers last month, and since have completed a course on the Classics instructor training. I feel like I've got a ways to go, however, starting with attending a few Classic classes to get a feel for them, then putting together a routine that I can teach to others. But I also got this crazy idea about training to be an EKG tech. I would dearly love to work in cardiac rehab somewhere, somehow, so that is my next training class. I've completed the 1st part of a 5-part training. I've also applied for some exercise specialist positions, which sadly I didn't get, but I must keep going. I want to work more directly with people in a health/fitness capacity, and not just the Member Service. But in the meantime, my hubby & I are going to Hawaii in 2 weeks - this was planned before Henry went into hospice - and vanity dictates that I try to drop a few lbs before I go. So, here we go....
