New Day

Well it seems March was a total vacation from exercise. I never meant for it to happen, but before you knew it, it was gone! So I’m back at it. Started on Monday. I began with riding the stationary bike, then my resistance training and since it was a gorgeous morning I decided to go for a walk on the nature trail that goes from the lake to the YMCA. I did not walk that whole distance, only for about 30 minutes. As I was making it back to my car from the trail, my thighs and hips began to scream (who knew they had a voice?), “I THOUGHT YOU GAVE THIS UP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, AAAHHHWWWEEE”. I assured them that they would survive and that at times pain is good. Then today I went back to my favorite exercise, water aerobics with Pam. Because I had been absent for a month, Pam decided that abs and upper body would be the exercise of the day. I discovered this afternoon, my upper body and abs also have a voice and they scream too!

It’s okay, ‘cause it’s a new day! I discovered a new vocal artist this weekend and he sings a song called Feeling Good, it has been my new theme song! Some of you probably have heard of him, his name is Michael Buble’. If you have not, oh my, you must hear him. He sings Sinatra, BeeGees, Ella, etc. and his own material too. I love that smooth, jazzy feel and he has made a fan of me. Anyway….the chorus of the song is as follows:

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good


I like that! Because it is a new dawn, a new day and a new life for me, and I’m feeling good! Here’s to making April a better month!
