Las Vegas: a goal

hypatia42In researching the April trip to Las Vegas I discovered that the hotel that the festivities will be centered on has a topless bar. One can reserve a lounge chair or table to tan and drink and be seen. The rational part of my brain knows that the likelihood of going to said bar is slim but I have chosen to use this as impetus. Its something to work towards.
It will be an ongoing process. We are looking at traveling to Costa Rica in just over a year. Keeping in that shape as a way of maintaining health long term and not sabotaging it is going to be my challenge. I was doing damn good until I got in the first car wreck. Managed to get mostly back to fighting shape just before the second wreck. Its not a lot of weight really. I know I lost muscle mass though so that means increased fat mass even if the numbers come back down.
I've increased the number of hours I'm working which has helped the muscle mass some, not enough yet. I've been riding my bike places, again not enough though some of that is a fight with my fibro. Today I decided to make a change. I went to the gym and rowed for 21 minutes( hit the button an extra time and just went with it), practiced spinning in front of the mirrors(it helps with movement and planes), then stretched in the hot tub for about 15 minutes.
My back and legs have been bothering me more since the IME. I have put myself on a massage schedule so I get one every other week. I still need to get myself more allergy meds and make up packets of supplements so I take them regularly. Doing many of the things I need to do to take care of myself is really hard when its this inhospitable outside. I need to find the things that I can do to make this easier and more likely that I will follow through.
I *will* do this.
