This "exercise" thread has been a little too quiet! Kim, I know you're a shining star.
Brenda, is the equipment out from under the bed? Dawn, has the weather improved and your relapse calmed down so you can enjoy exercise with your kids outside? Chris, how are you? And, everyone else I forgot, what's up?
Can't help but let you all know one of the latest pieces of info I read in a health magazine when I was on the elliptical tonight.
"Sure, you're likely losing brain cells as you get older. (That's me for sure ) But, it's the connections between cells that count--and you can make more of those."
You guys know I like these quotes , so here's another one to keep everyone motivated: "Manage Stress" Memory seems particularly vulnerable to long periods of extreme stress. When a person is subjected to it, a steroid hormone called cortisol is released into the bloodstream. This substance, especially in high levels, can disrupt connections between nerve cells, says Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., a professor of biological science and neurology at Stanford...."
So, seems like we all better keep exercising to the best of our ability. I personally keep looking for reasons to quit but can't find them.
The weather has finally broke kids are trying to wear their shorts and it is not that time yet! We walk the track at school while my oldest practice softball. It is that time of year again I will have little to no time to excise.
I'm looking into taking some college classes for data entry so I can work form home and stop daycare. I have to get these kids in school and I will be done. So I need something to do from home and I'm looking into it know. I hope I can go to school and still take care of everything! Talk to kids and husband and they are behind me.

Welcome Debe.
I also was recently diagnosed. I find that exercise has become very comforting. I spend 25-35 minutes doing cardio and 30-40 minutes lifting weights. It makes me feel almost "normal". Due to my terrible balance, I may not be able to ski anymore, but I can ride a bike just fine for an hour and bench press my weight. That is better than what most Americans can do.
Exercising can only help. I am glad to see someone who thinks the same way.
