I just got home from the pool and could not wait to get to this blog. *I feel GREAT! Whats different? I went longer ; I'm up to 20 minutes now. When I came out of the pool I was jello in the control department, but i am just stronger.
I have to explain something here. I have always been a strong woman. I threw haybales and lifted huge pots on and off the stove. I used to have really good muscle tone. For the last 5 years  even more I have just let myself go. Finally I ended up in a wheelchair and totally with out exercise. Any way my muscles did not go away, they just relaxed. Now I am asking them to do things they remember and they are quickly rising to the task.
These past few days I have been going out on my deck and enjoying the sun, planting my planters and looking at my pool. We used to have a nice big above ground pool but one severe winter killed it. Now we have a 15' Intex quick set that was quickset 3 years ago and just stays up. The grandekids have enjoyed it but there was no way I could get in or worse, out of it. So I the water rat just watched. So many emotions have been locked inside of me, because I just could not do things. Now I just a short time I am excited with hope. I have a plan and am going to take these LOBOS into my pool...and I will use them every day! 
In life I have learned to "Plan the Event Not The Outcome," but that does not mean I cannot have goals. Right now my goals are baby steps. First goal was just get there...and I have accomplished that.  Thanks to my two wonderful helpers I have achieved that. Now my next goal is to bring the LOBOS home. Until then I will continue two times a week.  If 2x a week has had such wonderful results, what will daily use do? Stay tuned.
