A TWO HOUR P.T. SESSION IN THE GYM

I began my Friday morning at 7:45 a.m. by going out into the kitchen to drink my hot cocoa and eat my plate of fruit. I then had toasted myself an english muffin and and made myself a bowl of hot cereal. Once I had finished eating, I then had returned to my bedroom to brush my teeth and shave before strapping on my ankle weights to do my leg exercises. I then preceded with my arm weights. at 8:35 I then began to stretch. which now takes me thirty minutes. At 9:00 I then made my was to the cycling stage of my workout. At 9:00 I then went to the laundry room while I was downstairs to start a load of laundry. At 9:45 I had returned to my bedroom to put some clean laundry away that was outside my bedroom door. After doing so I had taken my shower thus getting ready for what ever this day was going to bring. The plan is to ski, but with the weather the way it was, "RAIN!!!" who knows what I will be doing. I then called United Wheelchair to make sure that they were still picking me up. At 10:30 I then spoke to my P.T. at Westside, Lydia to make sure things were still on for today. The answer was, "YES!" I then spoke to Mindy the receptionist to see about transportation. They had cancelled to go to Lost Valley. Now that things were in place, I then gathered my things I pad, snow shoes, and gm clothing. At 10:55 I then hung a load of laundry to dry. At 11:30 United had arrived to bring me to WestSide. I had arrived there for 1:00 p.m. I first went in making my way to the gym to let Lydia know that I was here. I then set my things in the gym and we then went outside to snow shoe for twenty minutes. We then went back into the gym to walk for twenty minutes on the treadmill I had gone .8 miles. I then took a brief break before getting on a mat on my hands and knees raising my opposite leg with opposite arm. Lydia then had me sitting on a t-stool working on my balance. As I was doing so she had me raising my arms in every direction. Lydia then had me walking over cones taping each one with my foot as I pressed on. I then rested a bit before the p.t.a. student Tara took over. she had me with my stomach on a big therapy ball raising my legs and arms trying to balance as I was doing so. I then left for home at 3:00. I had arrived home at 4:30. Upon doing so, I had taken my shower before sitting down to blog. Then, DINNER!!!
