Early retirement has offered several opportunities for me one being the YMCA work out routine. Seems while I was working at the water department, there was little time, so I had convinced myself, for a consistent exercise program. Not so now! So after tipping the scales at a heart pounding 345 pounds, I dragged my ass into the YMCA. The perks, a fitness membership to the Centre that came with working for the city ran out after one year and a hefty fee for non-residents convinced me to check out membership at the Y. With Wendy employed there a little less then $20 a month gets me into all manner of fitness equipment, facilities etc, etc. I started lifting weights (12 stations take about an hour and fifteen minuets to get through) and the treadmill for 30 minutes Mondays Wednesdays & Fridays. I had planed to change this to included weight training and swimming three times a week and treadmill/cross trainer every other day. The bad news, I came down with a bad case of bowing to the porcelain gods that not only upset me it put a wrench in my exercise schedule. The good news, I have dropped 10 lbs ( I turbid this weight loss to my dedicated exercise program and not my illness) and feel stronger. Feeling much better now a days and back in the saddle again. Next posting will feature a visit to St. George Island FL. Mary, Jeff Wendy and I will be visiting Mom and Dad. I hope to show Jeff and Dad a few fishing tips while we are there. Last time I caught a five pound gull that all most snagged two twenty pound pelicans. Oh boy, I can’t wait...
