Well today I celebrated my Birthday. Did my birthday dinner last weekend so   I had all week to work it off. Anxious for the weigh in on Saturday. Been doing   Aquacise 2 days a week at the Y and trying to walk when I can on the other   days.  Leaving on vacation next week, going to Florida to see our Niece   graduate high school so I hope I remember to blog.

Everything is going good. Keeping busy and almost forgetting to blog. Need   to figure out a different workout schedule.  Will try and add some weight   training.

Out of commission
Well I may have over did it a little Friday at the Y. I did some rowing and   the weight machine circuit. On Saturday we were working in the yard mulching. My   back flared up on Sunday with pain and worsened over night to have hubby take me   for an ER visit early Monday morning. I have never had back spasms so bad. So I   have been out of commission since Sunday. I feel better today and actually   worked a little on mulching a small flower garden, so hopefully I did not   trigger my back to explode with pain again. I stretched some, so I am hoping   that will help. I need to get back to excising, at least I have maintained the   diet.

YMCA
So the contestants that get to continue on in the contest got 3 months free   at the "Y".  Thank you Lighten up and Ron at the Health District. I went on   the first day possible, May 1st and registered at the Madison Y.  Everyone   was nice and I got a tour of the facility.  I set up a meeting for today   with a trainer to go over all the equipment in the gym.  After Laura   (trainer) showed me everything there (1 hour later), I was on my own.  I   was much more comfortable today than on Wednesday. Wednesday I felt so   overwhelmed. I plan on signing up for an Aqua class next week. We started right   in the middle of a calendar schedule of classes, so I will have to see which   ones have room available.
