Today i had my eval at the club....

young hard body little lady approaches me and shakes my hand and takes me to her office for the health questions....then she asks me my age....i tell her and she looks at me like i am NUTS!!!!  Good feeing for me....I am gonna like this girl.....she was no way believing i was a senior on the silver sneakers program through Humana at the club.......I LIKED HER   

then we weigh me...she likes my weight....I want to lose 10# so i can move a bit faster...she says  "ok, but no more"    i tell her she has to be related to my doctor

then we do the endurance and strength tests...

5 different machines and/or apparatus.....

she gets me on the treadmill and i want to go faster on it....so she says   "you are waaaay strong for a seniour, I am gonna give you the  "HAAARD workout"   I say   "ok, bring it on...."  and then i am thinking that i hope i did not let my mouth overload my ass

she gets me on the treadmill and i am walking, jogging,  brisk kind of trot and i am smiling like the proverbial cheshire cat...

she ratchets it up a bit...now i am in a nice breezing jog....running...enjoying....we do a  half mile and she say she wants to move me around the gym doing different things  so we get off just as i am getting in my stride

we go to the biceps machine..doing sets...then the triceps machine doing sets....back and forth between those machines....she asks me if i am tired...."nope...just thirsty"  i sip my "kroegers brand" water out of my bottle and we go the the "lobster machine"  it has pedals and two "sticks" where you grab with your hands and you are working your legs, butt, and your arms, pecs......i am having a ball...

she takes me over to this contraption that hangs off a pole and you grab the other end, grips and i am doing these sorta pullups and pushups...rotating back an forth.....

she asks me am i tired???   "nope...this is fun"....

so we do this going around doign different machines and different parts ofmy body and the hour just blows by.....

its all done...she takes me in her office and tells me that i am a freak i am so strong and resillient.......dunno if i like the word "freak" on my eval, but hey...its a positive....

so she asks me   "so what are you gonna do now??? you wanna go home????"   I tell her  "nope, I am gonna play on that lobster machine,  run some more in the "treaddie"  and then go for a nice long swim, doing some laps....

she looks at me w/her mouth open and says  "you are a hoot"  she told me that i should be at peak within a month because i was in such good shape..

it felt good...my basket ball pal was not there, so it was laps and doing water tricks in the pool....then i headed home, feeling quit good about me,...yea, i could "tell" i had a work out, but i feel GREAT...went to wall mart and found some workout stuff where I can simulate everything she did to me except for the cardio stuff....in case of bad weather, i got my stuff to do at home if we get real bad weather....

TODAY was a great day....i even got compliment on my super duper   "goodwill designer" clothes.......met a nice gal on the lobster machine next to me and we had a nice workout together.....

TODAY i am very encouraged over my eval.....it went great....better than i had hoped for......she said she was gonna  "put it to me"  becuz she was confident i could handle it and i did....now THAT is a very good day!!!!!!

tomorrow i work...close out.....closing the books for 2013......what i don't accomplish tomorrow, i can do next week...not putting pressure on me....gonna do the priorities first and work on down......

CHEERS everyone.....3 days in a row of REAL good exercise and i aint sore yet......that is a VERY good sign.....
