Don't abandoned your body

Treadmill day.  Sometimes when I am walking and listening to music, I actually think about something but most of the time, I am in this zone where the beat of the music and my feet hitting the treadmill are the only things that I hear or that I consciously am aware.  I think about before weight loss surgery and how I could eat and not be aware of the food or the taste.  I would bite, chew, swallow and sometimes between swallow and bite there would not be a pause.   Now, when I eat, I am aware of every bite, so this turn of events of never eating without being aware and sometimes exercising in sort of a trance is nice. 

So, today is treadmill day and I am also going to talk to the trainer about maybe doing the training until after the first of the year.  Once DH get his new corneas, I will be back on track for plastics, and I might as well go in with as much muscle definition as possible. 

Today, get lost in some physical activity.  Move your body and burn some calories and build some muscle tone.  Think of it as sweeping the floor: if you just sweep a trail that gets you from your chair to your bed and from bed to the bathroom and from the bathroom to your chair again, what will happen to the rest of your floor.  Over time, dust accumulates, maybe spiders build nests, maybe paper collects, and soon the rest of your house will look like an abandoned house.  You don’t want your body to ever look like you have abandoned it, do you?

Connie,

Weights are good and if you work your upper body, you will burn a lot of calories.  Just be careful and not hurt your shoulders.   

Karen, 

sounds like a good plan and you are making good choices.  You will see results really soon.
