This is my last week of foot PT and I believe I'm going to get back to walking/running this week. Or else. I'm going to start the Zombies Run 5k Training plan (again) and see how that goes. I've got to get back to it, though. Not doing this is bad for my mental health.

M - physical therapy for feet
Tu - 5k training, yoga for stretching
W - pilates class, yoga class, physical therapy for feet
Th - 5k training, yoga for stretching
F - zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class
Sa - 5k training, yoga for stretching (I might go to the local Parkrun walk it)
Su - yoga at home

Good luck on that 5K! You've got this and we've got your back.

Training starts in a big way - a national competition for me in less than 4 weeks - that means 1-2 fencing lessons a week in addition to group class and training. With Holy Week and Easter just behind me, I'm enjoying having my feet up for part of the day since I sing at my church. I went to the gym today to stretch and use the hot tub, mostly.

S - Rehears 1.5 hours, sang 2 hour service and about 1.5 hours at the gym.

M - Fencing 1/2 hour lesson, 2.5 hour class

Tuesday - have to attend a funeral - but will get to the gym for at least an hour

Wednesday - fencing 2.5 hours

Thursday - gym 1.5 hours and rehearsal for 2 hours

Friday - Pilates 1 hour and lifting

Saturday and Sunday - in NYC singing at St. Thomas Fifth Avenue and Cathedral of St. John the Divine with my church choir. Lots of walking.

198 seems thin for 6 foot 4 male ... he wants to lose weight? Did you mean to write 298?

I don't know how it works in the US, but is there a unit at one of your local hospitals that specialize in Bariatrics? Usually up here it's associated with the heart institute of the hospital. Even a private centre specializing in Bariatrics?

I would make some phone calls to them and reach out to them. I would say it's very, very likely that they would find a way to make arrangements to help you. That's what they're there for, right? Up here, they can even help make you transportation arrangements to appointments, even to pools or the fitness centres at the heart institutes.

Good luck! I hope you post more, I'd like to follow your story :) I like all these little changes that you and your family are making.

Ooh! Another recommendation... you mentioned that traditional therapy failed you. I get that. Have you looked into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? (CBT)? I am a nerd fundamentally; and I love to know the facts and troubleshoot. CBT was WONDERFUL for that.
