No exercise = no weight loss

[narkolepc]

so i fell back into my usual pre-surgery laziness.  some of this was fueled by my continual weight loss w/o having to lift a finger, plus for a time I was told i was not 'allowed' to exercise b/c i lost too much weight too fast.  Well, that time has long since gone and during my 6 month check up it was emphatically told to get my ass off the couch

sometimes all it takes it to shake things up a bit to get the weight loss moving again.

While I've never tried it I've heard great things about the C25K program - did you see they have a podcast for it? it's kind of cool, pre recorded music and then timed reminders when to switch your movement.

i do have the podcast, otherwise there would be zero chance of me actually doing it. w/ the podcast i can just zone out and let the guy tell me when to slow down and when to run....i have issues w/ his choice of music but, it def. works.

I compeltly agree, im 6 months out and have stoped losing weight but im working 15 hours a day so I just dont have the time....maybe ill force myself to go for a run in this cold weather when I get home....

go for a run, go for walk, do an exercise tape... getting moving at all makes it more likely you'll stay moving, even if it's in small ways. i've found that sometimes i lay in bed and just run my fingers over my new body, especially the bones i can feel now....and i just want to get up and move. it's like my body is BEGGING me to be more active. but of course that's when i'm laying in bed. it's a totally different story when i'm going from 8hrs of work to part-time job to home. but i'm making a commitment, to make it a commitment...and i'm trying to be reasonable about it. i know on the days i work 15hrs, i'm not going to go do anything. i just can't. so i make myself go on the other days (but i only have couple 15 hr day/s a week), even if it means having to go fri sat and sun. good luck!
