6/24 Renewed spirit

It’s not cancer so that’s a huge relief!!! I have a renewed devotion. I took my dogs separately for walks. I meant to walk a half hour, but went 45 minutes. I took the jack rat first. He was the warm up. He’s more of a distance runner. Then I came home and switched out for the overweight beagle. She’s like the cool down, slow and steady. It does feel better to actually put on workout clothes (including powder). Maybe there is something to not just staying in your pj’s. I might tackle the pull up bar again today. My post on facebook caused quite a few responses. I called it the long arm hang :-)

I decided to put the bar up and try some of these reverse pull ups. That didn’t really work out, but I found that if I put my feet at a diagonal on the step stool I can lift my upper body weight without putting weight on my feet. I did like 5 and then I put on the arm straps and lifted both feet at the same time 3 times. Not much, but it’s a start. I might do it again this evening. It was actually kind of fun.
