I've never been great at sticking to an exercise plan. Then, after the pneumonia, I realized that I better stick to some sort of workout. I have a treadmill, and that's where I plan to start. Right now, it's 1 AM here, so I'll start on Saturday, otherwise I'll be up all night!

I'll be using a link on Walking for Weight Loss -- http://walking.about.com/cs/howtolo...lkoffweight.htm -- as a guideline, and keeping track of it here. I can't do upper-body weight lifting, so instead I'll work at building up the long muscles.

I tried the pedometer challenge, but couldn't get the pedometer to work reliably. I'd go all over the place, and it would still read zero. So, now it's the treadmill.

See ya later today.

OK... not too energetic yet. But I've been moving, and that's the first step.

Saturday 5/8: 1 hour of slow walking, ~1 mph, level ground.

Monday 5/10: 1 hour of gardening.

treadmill: 5 min at 1.4 mph, 5 min at 2 mph, 5 min at
1.4 mph; all at 2% slope.

After a several month pause, I'm back into activity again. I found a yoga teacher who is the student of my original yogini. Today, I did 1 1/2 hours of yoga, which included:
Sun Salutations - 4 rounds
15 mins of stretching and warming up everything
45 mins of various asanas, including forward bends, backward bends, twists, balance, and upside-down
preceded and followed by back savasana
