getting out the house 2/23/09

Feb 22, 2009

i've been trying to get out this house and back into life for a long time.  it's not as easy as you might think when you only go out to appts or food shopping or to church, or to your familys house's once in a while.  i've been in the house for about eight years now.  i've made some very large steps in keeping my doctor's appts and going to my diabetic group.  i've also started going to counseling and church in the last few years.  each time i really push myself to go and do the things i need to do for my health, i'm becoming more able to get out. but it's really harding getting to that point.  it took 2 years of counseling for me to make up my mind to go to the seminar for WLS.  i'm talking about major anxiety here.  

thats why i haven't gone to physical therapy yet.  

my plan was:  
until i got up the courage, i would do tone and sweat with richard simmons  in my house. 

when i told my  counselor my plan & that i hadn't sign up for physical therapy yet, she wasn't having it.  and told me that i really needed to go and see the therapist and discuss a workout routine designed just for me &  tell them my concerns.  put that way, it sounds like something  i can handle. 

my new plan:

to make an appt with the physical therapist for this week.
