tvordljYesterday was nice, our usual Corrie get together. We had it at a new place for us, out at Key Largo in Sackville. Good venue. large and open so everyone can see and a sound system so they can all hear. Except another largeish group came in a little after us, just as we were starting our program so it got quite noisy while they were all ordering and such. Anyway that wasn't tooooo bad though while we were having a meeting afterwards, they put the music on the sound system and that was a bit loud. The manager was quite nice, though, and turned it down and really seemed keen for us to come back again sometime. It's a little out of the way for some people even though there's a bus. The bus service on sunday is a bit crap though. Lots of free parking and disabled access which is good because there's a lot of older members that attend.
This morning i met with the personal trainer at the gym. She's my age but she thought i was about 10 years younger. :) I told her my goals and she's starting me off fairly easily, with a total of 20 minutes cardio between walking and the bike and then some stretching. Next week she's going to add on the core work, for abs and a bit of upper body work. I need to strengthen my back first and foremost which is where the core exercises come in and build up some stamina and energy so the cardio will take care of that part. I didn't do much today but i think my shoulders are a bit sore just from some of the stretches! Anyway, it'll be good to get back into an activity routine again.
Took the car back to Mom and we went down to the country to visit my aunt. Later we dropped into Wal-Mart so she could return something. I picked up a few little grocery items there that i couldn't get or forgot the other day. I'm in for the night now. I did get out to Sears on Saturday when Mom brought the car over to me, i wanted to check out the Pacific Coast pillows like my sister has but the one i wanted wasn't on sale. Will be next weekend though so i'll go back then. Back to the grind for the next month or so. The next holiday weekend is the July 1 weekend and Mom and i are going to try for Saint John again then. Maybe third time will be lucky!
