Mom went back to the doctor today.  She's been fighting sinus stuff all week long, and it really escalated today.  The doctor said she's got an upper respiratory infection, a sinus infection, and she still has an infection in her kidneys.  Not a good combination.  When you combine all of that with her ongoing back pain, she is in really bad shape right now.  Needless to say, she hasn't been working out with me this week, and it doesn't look like she will be for at least several more days.

 

I've been trying to get my workouts in anyways though.  I haven't gone to the gym this week...instead, I've been doing some step aerobics in my living room while watching TV.  It's been a good change of pace for me, to do something other than just walking on the treadmill.

 

I'm planning to do some work on an elliptical trainer at the gym once Mom is feeling better and wants to go back.  I'll do some treadmill too.  But I think it is a good idea for me to add some variety to my workouts instead of just doing the same thing over and over again.  I don't want to get bored with my workouts and then just stop doing them all together.  I want to see results!

 

We'll weigh in again on Sunday morning.  Who knows what will happen with Mom's weight.  She could wind up losing quite a bit from lack of appetite, or she could gain some from not working out and not eating enough, or she could be about the same.  Only time will tell.  I have a feeling that I'm going to have a good week this week.  I just feel good, so I'm hoping that is an indication of what is going to happen.

 

More soon!
