Sears was having a close-out sale on their exercise equipment, so we took the plunge and bought a Nordik Trak (sp?) recumbent exercise bicycle. Despite how unsophisticated it will look, I plan to set it up right in front of the tv. No one ever comes to visit us anyway, so who cares? And if someone does plan to visit, we can always sit in the "front parlor," where the formal furniture is. After all, you shouldn't have the tv on when you have company, right? And if we know whoever it is well enough to watch tv with him/her/them, then they'll ignore the exercise bike.
After I get where I can ride more than five minutes without falling off gasping and dying, maybe I'll look for a used bicycle to ride around the neighborhood.
Yes, folks, it's true. I'm trying to lose weight. I'm trying to exercise. I'm trying to get healthier so I can get off all these damned pills I have to take! Maybe it's the spectre of the birthday on Saturday that has inspired me. Whatever it is, wish me luck.
