Yesterday morning, I took a friend from my neighborhood to my exercise class. Much later, after a long day together, she marveled at my stamina. She was exhausted, and I was still bouncing around in my seat across the table from her over a meal. I asked myself if that's because I have a whole week's advantage over her, meaning two extra one-hour exercise classes. Okay, I'll quit patting myself on the back and tell the WHOLE truth. We had spent a couple of hours visiting her husband in rehab where he's been since early July after chemo for acute leukemia and a stroke that took away the use of his left side. Her lack of energy has more to do with emotional exhaustion than anything else.
Nevertheless, I have to say that I'm enjoying the classes and feel energized by doing the exercises. Next time, on Friday, I'll try to remember to take a picture of either our exercise area or get someone to photograph me. At least it would "prove" I'm working on this exercise stuff.

Cool that you're already feeling more energetic! That's one of the best benefits of exercise for me.
