Cruise, Just relaxing!!! LOL!!!

I've never taken the elevator so far and have found myself everyday so far taking 20 to 30 lights of stairs and I've been going to the gym 1-2 times everyday. Some times it's challenging to walk on the treadmill as the waves lift and drop the ship. I've met some interesting people on the ship and in the gym. I met one person in the gym that could barely walk with a cane but he was a beast on the rowing machine. I got on the rowing machine next to him and he was rowing at speed of 70. I usually at home row most at 40 but riding next to him I found myself rowing mostly at 70!!! He was great for setting a pace. Another time I sat down next to a young woman rowing between 70 and 100 and she set the pace I rowed mostly 70. After she got off I decided to try and get up to the fastest speed that I could. I could not believe it but I managed to get up to a speed 2 times of 180 but I could not hold that rate for more than a few seconds and dropped back down to a speed of 70.

I was sad that there was no pull up bar in the gym. One day I walked in and there was a young man doing sets of pull ups. On the rack for doing squats he had adjusted the bar to the top of it's range so that he could do pull ups and rest between sets. While he was resting I ask if I could try. I'm up to 1.5 pull ups and 1.5 chin ups. Hopefully I will hit 2 before long!!!

The second day I noticed that my blood pressure was up so I decided to skip the bacon and sausage and the next day this morning I took my blood pressure and it was back down. 129/73 with a heart rate of 55.
