… but they sure aren’t any
fun these days. Thr rapid progression (loss of strength) is rather scary.
Early last week my legs
started giving indications of a slide. For the next four days strength and
capabilities diminished. By Saturday I was not a ‘happy camper’. I should know
better because I have been through more than a few of these battles over the
last 40 years, but I still think the worst for a day or two.
Saturday afternoon I had
enough of the wallowing in frustration and took an accounting of what might
have got me here. Even though I exercise several times every day, over the last
few weeks I often spent four-to-six hours just sitting. I realized this was not
my normal routine.
So, sitting on the throne
that afternoon, I decided to change my modus operandi. Every two-to-three hours
I was going to stand up and perform a couple of short exercises. Three times
that day seemed to make a difference the next morning. Six times yesterday felt
even better. I could tell I was on my way back.
I’m not 100% back, but today
I feel 90+% back to normal.
I believe Henry Ford said, “If
you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always
got.” This also holds true in my personal life. If
I don’t like the results, I need to do something different.
