finally able to get to my blog site

I have tried many times but finally figured it out last night while Chrissy was here. So here I am.

I have worked up to working out 6 days a week, two days with the trainer doing cardio excercise and weights, then 4 other days just doing cardio. I take care of my mother who had a major stroke and brain surgery in Feb of last year, I have to have someone stay with her or have to bring her along so that adds more challenge to getting myself to go. I usually go as soon as her aid comes @ 8am - M,W, & F and have to be back before she leave ( she's only here for an hour) then at least once on the weekend, I have to have someone stay with mom or take her with.

 I've had arthritis in my joints since high school, I've had a hard time being active enough to stay in shape. so I've been using the Nu step machine at the gym and it really helps keep from over stressing my ankles, knees and hips.
  I do feel better, not as exhausted all the time. Not loosing wt as fast as I thought I would but I'm trying to not let that demotivate me.
