Had a great ab workout and a surprisingly good run considering how little sleep I got last night!
I’m happy, however, to report that Grandma is alert and in good spirits. Once her blood levels are back to where the doctors want them to be. They will let her come home. She was dehydrated. With kidney disease and congestive heart failure she has to try to keep a good balance of fluid in her body. Too much she has trouble breathing, too little she gets dehydrated and naseous and the kidneys get worse. So, it’s a balancing act. At 92, however, she is still an inspiration and a miracle.
As far as the workout, I do weighted push-ups as part of todays workout, just to provide a little extra challenge to the chest. They are getting easier, so I will probably adding weight soon. I will also be adding time to my static ab workout exercises (all of the planks and the evacuations). It feels as if I’ve moved into another level. As far as the run, I did a very easy 14:48 two-mile run. Overall, I’m happy with my progress as I conclude this cycle on tomorrow. I have to put up the next cycle. I’m considering using the page function to post my next exercise cycle.
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! It keeps me working on the diet and working harder. Have a great remainder of your day.
