I just rode my Stationary Bike for 22 minutes....

[WCGreen]

Doesn't sound like much....

But when you are tethered to on Oxygen machine and have the lung capacity of a gerbel...

Well, as the Great Richard Dreyfuss said To Bill Murray in the vastly underrated movie What About Bob.....


Baby Steps.....


Now maybe if I would have done this sooner, I could gone to DC.....

Mrs. WCGreen put the kibosh on that one when I was fell by a germ a week or two back....

Well, if you got this far, I want to thank you....

All of DU for being there for me 24/7....

And also giving me the needed kick in the pants to get as fucking healthy as I can.....

And to a few special others who have given me moral support along the way.....

1. 22minutes is damn good my dear Chris....

I have a lot more lung capacity than you do, and I do 28 minutes...

Good for you! We sure as hell want you as "fucking healthy" as you can be...

You have great things to accomplish in your life yet...and you have to live in order to do them....

[WCGreen]

2. Thanks CP....

28 minutes is within reach I think....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Probably best not to rush it....

I add a whole minute every couple of weeks...it does add to the strain...

I want to be able to walk when I get off...

But boy oh boy, my legs are stronger and I need that.....since I spend so much time here at the computer.....

I'm also increasing (very slowly) the levels of strain...

I need/want to be thinner in the worst way.....

[KG]

3. i'd like to add some morel support, also.

[WCGreen]

4. Nothin like a little fungus among us.....

You're making progress ...

You are awesome, W C Green!




You're an inspiration for me to give up one or two of my own unhealthy habits.

[WCGreen]

24. Cool Similies

[In_The_Wind]

26. I'm always happy to bring a smile to you!

[Telly Savalas]

25. Way to go!

Aren't stationary bikes awesome? It takes so much less motivation to exercise with one of those. ("oh man, I really ought to exercise but I wanna be a lazy ass and watch TV. Ah, screw it, I'll get on the bike and watch TV.")

Keep it up, man!

[WCGreen]

29. My thoughts exactly

[I Have A Dream]

27. Good for you, WCGreen! Many people who are completely...

healthy can't even go 22 minutes. (I know a few!)

You have real heart, and it's always good to read your posts. Therefore, I, for one, also thank you for being here for us!

[WCGreen]

31. Thank you very much....

That makes me feel even better.....

[Left Is Write]

28. 22 minutes and you're on oxygen?

I'd say you kicked some ass. Good for you!

[WCGreen]

32. Last year at this time....

I could barely walk down the driveway.....

But good therapy and a steady rise in exercise, well here I am....
