Exercise, Books, and Apps

Three Good Things for the day:

1. I began a low-intensity workout regimen of my own creation. Just push-ups (knees only, since I can’t use my toes), crunches, some inner-thigh work, and stretching. 2-3 times a day, not too intense. Of all the suggestions I’ve received to deal with my fragility issue, one that has always made sense is to become stronger, so that less force is put on my tendons. But most exercises put stress on those same tendons. These classics don’t seem to. Then I’ll add my physical therapy, and then hopefully go on the meds for psoriatic arthritis, and maybe I’ll do better. That is the plan. Also, I still need to lose at least 10, but preferably 20 more pounds and this is a good time to work on it since I have to be focused on my body anyway. My health is number one on my hierarchy list right now. Gotta get past all this shit.
2. Borrowed a book from the Kindle lending library today using my Prime membership. Oh, how I love you, Kindle.
3. Found a couple of new iPad games for Sam to use in school. I’m improvising school right now, and thank goodness for the iPad. Lots of really good apps out there.
