Well, I used to be in shape. I used to be able to bench press 180 lbs. I used to be able to run three miles. I used to be able to ride 10 miles on my bike with no problem. I used to be able to do 50 sit-ups and 50 push-ups on my fingertips. But that was all 20-30 years ago.
So, I started my workout routine this week. I started with sit-ups, push-ups, leg lifts, and lightweight dumb bells (like 2.5 lbs - really light). I can't overdo it on the weights. I've been diagnosed with bursitis in the shoulders so I have to gradually build my shoulder strength without agitating my bursa. Wow - don't I sound old.
I rode my bike today for the first time since my injury. After the first mile or so I started singing on the bike. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I didn't do half bad. You should have heard me singing very windedly while riding full speed. Hillarious!!
I stopped by Heaven & Earth Bookstore today to see how my CD sales were going. Guess what - they were SOLD OUT! As a matter of fact the attendent that assisted me looked in their system and only found two left in their system at two different stores. I then introduced myself as the artist. He then took particular interest in me - as did the other customers in the store. It was a moment. I had to stand there and thank God for the success. It is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in my eyes!
If anyone wants to just bless me, I have my eyes on this awesome new beast of a machine - the new MacBook Pro (see http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/whatsinside.html for details). I am drooling for the 15.4" 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo. Oh the music I could create with that one peice of equipment!!
Speaking of music - on Monday I will be holding auditions for anyone interested in singing with me. I need background vocalists who are true worshippers and can really sing. If you know of anyone - send them my way. We have a few engagements coming up and many more to follow so there will be traveling involved. And there will be financial compensation as well. Hmmm - maybe I should have advertised that on the radio.
Okay - I've got to get some work done so I'll have to log off for today.
I love comments so feel free to let me know what you're thinking - especially you mac lovers or mac haters that think I've lost my mind by wanting to switch from pc to mac.
