Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I am in training. I’ve been using my wheelchair everyday, to roll myself farther and farther. When I go to Chicago, I want to be independent….or at least, as independent as possible. I may have overdone it today, as I’m feeling a little stiff.
Still, I don’t mind tired, I don’t mind a little stiff (well, mostly), I feel pretty good. I have been able, today, to move MYSELF, by myself, not dependent on a scooter’s motor. The other upside is that the chair can go into smaller places than the scooter.
I suppose, if I continue, I’ll actually be exercising. Me. Exercising! I’m actually exerting myself, to the point of being tired, without screaming (inside my head, mostly). I don’t hurt. Tired is good. I like tired. Pain is bad. It makes me tired without actually letting me do anything. Pain is not my friend.
Next thing you know, I’ll be losing weight. A bit far fetched, I admit, but not totally out of the realm of possibility.
Okay, not very far off the realm of possibility.
At least, it’s not diet pills. I am doing this with my own muscle power and I’m not crying from pain, so this is a win, win, win, win, situation.
PS: I love going DOWN ramps…Wheeeeeeee!
