I have a confession. I had not exercised with any regularity since my wls before coming to this site. On January 9th of this year, I found the neighborhood, and the 5dpt. It was hard...I asked alot of questions, and recieved many well wishes and many answers. The one reoccuring theme was exercise exercise exercise. Well, I started walking my dog 1-3 miles a day... ordered gym equipment, and pulled out the old Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies videos...and as of this morning...the scale says that since 1/9, I have lost 38lbs!!!!!!!
Thank you to all the 'hood' for your support, constant encouragement, and sometimes well deserved tushy kickings <thanks Kim aka 'Sarge', and Marla...aka 'Lieutenant Toughie'!!> This isn't easy, even two years out...but I have learned that things worth having are seldom easy, and that I am worth the effort and fight. Exercise on!
