It is now 7:23 am and for the first time in a very long time, I woke up feeling terrific...No aches and pains...Once upon a time I had problems with my left knee (some osteoarthritis)...now pain is decreasing...I have purchased a recumbant bike for the house; I like this set up better than a stationary bike because it is easier for me to sit in a straight chair and exercise than on a small uncomfortable bike seat...It is important each day to keep and diary of some kind to help you see your progress or your failings (and you will have days that aren't so positive). Oh and while I am on the bike today (3x a week I do this), I also exercise my arms by using two five pound weights.
Every day I do THE Mirror Lookover...I am seeing ALOT of fat decreasing in my back...this is new to me usually I when I've lost weight it has been from top to bottom. I have read that where you loose weight changes with aging. You want to make sure that you begin exercise slowly but consistantly do some exercise to help shrink the fat and loose skin.
I am not trying to be "Twiggy" (for those of you not as old as I am-Twiggy was the original malnutrition-looking model in the 60's)...my focus is to feel better, live longer, and most importantly enjoy life to its fullest. I am already feeling less a spectator and more a do-er.
I also walk at least 3x a week(30 minutes). And I hate walking. I am being very honest with you, I feel terrible while walking. BUT lately I have noticed that after I walk, I do feel better. I am walking very slowly still...still afraid I will hurt my knee or fall (and won't be able to get up without help). But you must overcome that fear and keep moving.
I must sign off for today...Keep trying...Be positive...Start today...Set up a daily diet and exercise plan.
You can do it and I can help you,
Olivia Scarlett
