Welcome to Joy's a State of Mind blog......

Welcome, thanks for stopping in and checking the place out. I'm new at this blog thing, I just write from my heart and I hope if there is anyone out there I can be of help to or just a be a friend to, I hope you will stay with me and read what I have to say. It isn't that I am a great scholor or a genius. I haven't got a degrees or a job that explains the atmosphere. What I do have is a big heart and life experiences, and that makes me unique. I have been down a road that many of you might be traveling right now. If so, get comfortable, because I am, and relax from the day. I am just as tired as you and frustrated no doubt about it. This morning it is cold and nasty out and I could do with a dose of sunshine, but until that time comes around I'll sit beside a warm fire! So have a glass of whatever suits you, and think of those you love and what makes you happy and what you can do to pass that joy along to others. Time to slow down and relax.

Again, I say welcome.

Good Intentions Need a Heating Pad

As 2010 started out as with any New Year a clink together of champagne glasses and and a kiss and what we intend on doing in the next year. Mine was to get into shape.  Well we joined the YMCA last Sunday and as promised I have gone all of two times and the weekend isn't even here yet.  However, I'm sitting on the heating pad and the Tylenol is a flowing.  I have a feeling this new endeavor is going to take me awhile to build up the ole' bod.  She ain't what she use to be.  I've moaned and groaned when I've bent over to tie my shoes and to pick up around the house.  It's just plain hell getting old, or should I say back into shape.Well I'm going to have to get used to the soreness, because this extra baggage is coming off for good this time. 
John and Jamin went as well.  We started out on the treadmill.  When I figured out how to work the machine, then it was off on a slow walk, as was Jamin.  John did a little faster pace.  I think for Jamin's first time, and my second, all went pretty well.  Got the heart rate up, and they said that was what was important.  Then we switched to the bikes.  John and I did this for a bit.  This is where I think the trouble started.  Not use to using these muscles. 
Well, I'm going back tomorrow if it kills me.  I'm going to follow through with it.  For one year.  We'll see if it does anything for the weight I've put on around the holidays and over the past few years.  Can't hurt!  Well actually it does, Tylenol is there to help!
