2.26.14 Quotes

So I have been on Twitter since February 18 and I’m not going to lie – it’s kind of addicting and a little bit fun.  Based on people who follow me; I started following these 2 “people” Motivation&Success‏@MotSuccess and Book Quotes‏@BooksBestQuotes.  I get all kinds of quotes that I favorite and retweet to my followers.  It’s some good stuff!  But last night at my alleged “Walking Wednesday” #19 at Barwis, I was forced to LIVE these quotes.  If I was going to share them – it was necessary to BELIEVE in them in the face of adversity.

I didn’t even attempt to walk yesterday.  Phil grabbed my right leg and was aghast at how tight my calf was.  Being without brakes for just those 2 days, I tensed up my legs in an attempt to STOP my chair from moving when teaching on Monday and Tuesday.  Yesterday at work, I had to remind myself to engage my brakes because I HAD them now and to relax my legs.  My thighs hurt SO badly yesterday!  I told a colleague that,”Now I know how Suzanne Somers must have felt!”  She laughed.  It was true!  I remember that infomercial for Thighmaster.  Phil stretched me and told me to relax and I was re-harnessed.  I asked if we were going to try walking today and he asked, “How are you going to walk when you can’t even straighten  this leg?!” (He was talking about my “poop” leg).  Okay.  Grrr!  Defeat!  We stood with a harness and then did some single leg extensions on a machine I have not been on since my first day.

I have been favoriting and retweeting these GREAT quotes thinking that I really won’t need them.  Turns out I do.  I KNOW that walking WILL happen because I watched Chris yesterday WALKING out of the door at Barwis.
