Before After

Hope

Went to the gym with my youngest daughter, she ran on the treadmill and I did the elliptical and spin bike. More time was spent on the elliptical. I am trying to increase the strength in the muscles supporting my knee (right knee in particular).
What I am really hoping for is with consistent exercising I will regain my gait that I lost after surgery last year.  Anyway. It felt good to be working out.
I mentioned I went with my youngest daughter, she is 15 and has her permit, so she drove. She is doing a great job, but is there anything that is more stressful......sitting in the passenger seat with no control. Sometimes I find I can't say what I want her to do quick enough then it comes out louder than I intended. I am not so much yelling at her, or what she is doing, but just trying to spit out what I want her to do.  I have taught all 4 kids how to drive, my husband always has to be the driver due to car sickness so this job has always fallen to me. When I learned to drive it was in school, during school in a class called Drivers Education. Why can't they bring that back?????

ROFL.  I am surprised I never kicked a hole in my floorboard stomping on my imaginary brake while the three were learning to drive.  DH was conspicuously unavailable to do most of the practice drives with them.

Can't do it!

DD16 will be 17 in June... not even a permit yet!  Thinking Driving School as part of her gift.  It was painful enough riding with them for the requisite 50 hours.  DS21 was insulted by my death grip on the passenger hand-hold.  That was nothing compared to my constant reminders about tailgaiting, driving to close on the right, "slamming" on the brakes at an intersection...
 
NOT looking forward to it! = )
 
Good job on getting to the gym.  DD comes with me most days and even though we do not workout together, or even in the same room...it's nice!
