Peggy is Exercising

Yesterday, we brought over dinner to Bob, Peggy and Jennifer. We always love having our Sunday dinner at their house, but last night was particularly enjoyable.

Peggy has been exercising 30 minutes a day on a Pedal Exerciser Machine to help strengthen her legs! I noticed a huge difference in her last night. I could tell she was stronger because it was easier for her to get out of bed and she had more energy than I've seen in her in awhile.

A few weeks ago, her son Jeremy came up with a bribe to get her in the habit of exercising. He told his Mom he would give her a trip to Williamsburg for 3 days in November, but if she worked out 30 minutes a day, she could have 5 days instead. One of Peggy's favorite places to go on vacation is to Williamsburg and since Peggy has been discharged from the rehabilitation center, she doesn't have a lot of motivation to do her exercises, so this is pretty cleaver of Jeremy.

Keep up the good work Peggy! We are all cheering for you!
