So many folks get hung up with the weight loss just to look "skinny" and forget the real reason to lose weight...to be healthier and live longer!<BR/><BR/>Since the last headfirst tumble down the stairs, and learning that I didn't do my bad back any favors, the only thing the Dr. said he would let me do now is water aerobics. I thought..."when the heck am I going to have time for that?" SO, I did some checking around and found a place that has WA 3 times a week, from 5:30pm - 6:15pm. I sweet-talked Rus into going home without me each of those nights and taking care of the dogs, and I stop off at the gym to do my water exercises. I've gone twice this week, and I love it! I am sore in places that I forgot existed, but the good news is my back doesn't hurt any differently than it already did! LOL Muscles are sore around it, but a good sore, and I know that by keeping this up I will continue to get stronger and healthier, lose the needed weight, and when it comes time that I have to have the back surgery, recovery should be that much easier. I'm down 80 lbs, which is great, but another 20 lbs will be better, and I set my goals for 20 lbs at a time. That way it doesn't seem unobtainable. Slowly but surely is our motto! :)<BR/><BR/>Hang in there...we can all do this...together! It's great to know that my dog show family out there is helping and are there for those times that we stumble and fall, but we never fail. <BR/><BR/>Hugs to all! Can't wait to see you in Dubuque! :)<BR/>SherilynSherilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868279931404407387noreply@blogger.com
