Just got home from Exercise class (Not Curves, the one from the Hospital for arthritis) Today I went on the treadmill and discovered I could still walk a twenty minute mile. I like their treadmills. You can adjust the height on incline, so you can do a little but not so much you hurt your heels like my old treadmill did. Then of course we did the other exercises using weights and exercising all of our muscles and joints. I feel like I have worked out when I leave there and am energized. Its a whole hour class with varied activity and a great instructor who watches to see that we do the exercises right. Plus it doesn't cost that much. I get a lot for the buck there. Its less expensive than Curves. I will keep my Curves membership, until I figure if this class will meet my needs. It is fifteen minutes from home, down Jefferson, which is an easy road by the lakeside. Afterwards, I went to the Harbor Master to eat and had stuffed peppers and salad, cabbage soup and jello. I wore my new yellow top. The one I sewed up so it would fit me better. I got some tomato on it but it came out. I am the girl in yellow today.
After lunch I went to my favorite farmers Market which is in SCS on Mack towards Grosse Pointe. Got tomatoes, Apples, Peaches, cucumbers, peppers and lettuce. And for indulgence... Apple Cider from Blakes. Sure is easier than driving to Blakes.
I will start on the Condo newsletter today after I get the house cooled off, and finish the laundry. Another great sunny day. All mine!
No one appears to be reading this, so this is my journal. All mine. Someone did leave a comment on my favorite books page, but only left his web site. Think he is trying to sell something. I can always delete these if it becomes a problem.
Well, have to get on with things. This morning I retained my three pound weight lass. Didn't take the class for that reason, but its a nice benefit. Hardly expected. Took my pulse after the treadmill, and it was not that elevated. That was a good sign too. Wonder what the results of all the heart tests next week will be?

I did a program like that, Strong women stay young I think it was called and I got the book also. It is a great program for when you have arthritis like me. The treadmill can cause my knees to go nuts but light weight lifting is great for the bones. I simply have to start going again. Your meals sounded great by the way.

Thanks Julie.
I don't get many comments, my family has chosen to email me instead. Guess its cuz they have to join AOL to comment. Anyway I am finding that Curves is hurting me. I am now avoiding three of their machines. Whereas when I leave the hospital class I am sore, but it is a good sore. I asked, and the hospital has these classes throughout the year. I don't know how they afford to do it, but it is just a little more than Curves and a lot better for me. Hopefully the diverticulitis will be over by Tuesday when I have my next class.
