Awww! Thank you so much! Yeah, I noticed my back started hurting when I was power-walking on the trail. What shoes did you get?

Topic: RE: Describe your exercise ability.

Thanks so much for the response! This gives me a lot of motivation. I loved to run when I was a child. But once I turned 15, and hormones started kicking in, I became so invested in High School and relationship drama; the usual, ha! Now I'm 25 and I really want to run. I have dreams about it all the time.

It is a stationary bike that uses wind resistance, the harder you pedal more resistance, incorporates arms as well.

Topic: Adjusting to new routines

so I've had the same routine that I love, love, love for the past two years. My son has been anxious to be old enough to go with me to the gym. Finally bit the bullet and got membership somewhere that accepts his age. 

The drawbacks: i have to leave earlier to get him home in time for his bed time. I have to cut my usual work out short as a result, and since I need to show him the ropes with weights, it further cuts into my time. I can't try classes yet since between his homework, my having to cook dinner and his bedtime I won't make it to a class on time.

My mind is just distracted knowing he's there. Ugg- I feel so selfish-- I want MY time back. I'll be patient. Hopefully he'll get into his groove and we won't be joined  at the hip while there.

I just learned about an app for your phone called C25K that gets you to jogging a 5k in 9 weeks.

It's still a thing where I live. My psychologist was recommending it to me last week.

Has your doctor cleared you for squats?  I was only allowed to walk for the first 6 weeks post-op.  

Weight loss is at least 90% diet.  So focus on that and walking now.
