I had an epiphany on Sunday night/Monday morning and have been running with it since. It is all based on a tidbit of wisdom that my doctor told me when he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia (before I was on depression meds). It was to exercise 30 minutes a day for 6 days a week. Had I done that more faithfully I probably wouldn't be in the situation I now find myself in. Shoulda Woulda Coulda! Oh well, live and learn and lose 60 pounds to get back to my post mission weight!
I signed up for a Strength Training class at the university thinking it would be great and I would increase my strength, besides the fact that I love lifting. . .at least I did before fibromyalgia. We are in the 4th week of class and I have decided that if I am going to keep exercising 6 days a week I better not lift for the time being, at least until I am in better shape and my body is use to moving more. I dropped it tonight. I just can't do it right now. Besides I HATE machines and that is what we were using. HATE HATE HATE!!! So the plan is that I am going to get a membership at a local gym and swim swim swim. It feels SO good to swim, weightlessness is really good for me. I know that weightloss will be extremly slow, but once I am use to exercise I am hoping to do more than swim. . .
I am also considering taking up yoga in the morning so that I stretch. I have found a few books and dvds on plus-size yoga. Kinda excited. I am anticipating buying a dvd.
We'll see what happens next.
