I’m actually getting around to revamping my diet and exercise and I think I’m going to like what I’m doing. Monday-Wednesday-Friday I’m swimming and lifting weights with my legs. Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday I’m hiking/walking and lifting weights with my upper body. I bought some five pound weights (surprisingly heavy for my weak arms) and I’m ready to roll. Except, of course, my TOM showed up this morning. I haven’t figured out an exercise to replace swimming for a week yet. My brothers are planning a backpacking trip this spring to Havasupai (maybe I’ve mentioned it before). Sam told Paul I wanted to come and Paul’s reply was “She better get into shape.” I said “Duh.” My plan is to lose as much weight as my pack is probably going to weigh. I figure about fifty pounds. I also know I have to climb ladders up and/or down cliffs so I’m going to practice that–Climbing ladders I mean. I should be ready for it. If I get moving right now.
