Trying to keep fit

A haiku to exercise:

workout 
red face
this sucks

Post-workout today
And yes... my tongue is doing much better!
Saltwater rinses are magical. I just had to keep up with it. 

I'm proud that I've been keeping to my goal of doing some kind of workout daily. Yesterday was physical therapy (where the PT said I gained 4% mobility in my neck! YAY!) Today was a ZUMBA class at my gym. Even doing it at a very low impact I could just manage 45minutes instead of the full hour. It's ok. It happens. I was awesome. Pitbull would be proud. 

Tomorrow is "my choice day." That means I can either go for a swim or do my Tai Chi for arthritis video. I think it will depend on my energy. If it's low I'll do the video and stay home. Feeling good = gearing up for a swim. If I'm feeling completely saucy there's an aqua aerobics class at my gym at 8AM, but that's a shot in the dark.

I'm worried that if I don't do as much as I can while I can that I'll lose what muscle I have. I can feel my stamina and strength just draining every day and it's a freaky feeling. So, I'm working hard to do what I can to keep myself going. Keep smiling, keep dancing, keep swimming and modify when I can.
