Hey happy People!
Well, it ain't much, but i'll take it. don't know what it is about me getting down to 380. actually, i should be very grateful cause last week was EXTREMELY stressful and i did do some stress eating so any loss is a bit of a surprise.
today was my last weight loss class. I am officially back on Surgery track and kinda on my own. I've got one more week of eating Optifast products and then i think that's it. Since i've already lost the required 20 lbs i wonder when they'll schedule my surgery now. Unless...(horrors)...they start me all over again. Eeeek! today, in class we talked about "barriers" to exercising. barriers humph, i just usually call them excuses, but i guess they're trying to be kinder and gentler. so, i found out my three problem areas were (and this is no surprise to me) social barriers, lack of will power barriers and lack of opportunity, i think. Of course the social part bordered on my blindness, because without my sister's help, doing allot of the things we do would be much more difficult for me. Like working out at the gym (she has to program my equipment for me when i move from machine to machine) and even walking (if i've never walked it before, i may not make it home). will power is well, i just don't wanna and have no energy to wanna. It's much more comfy on the couch. Lack of opportunity just kinda means for what i can do at home, it's limited so i get bored and turned off. they gave us some strategies for each one. There were other barriers too but these were mine. Honestly, the social one is something i have to work on. I should still be able to go to a gym, but i don't like bothering the staff to have them setting machines for me every time i move. I can take classes, but that requires some before hand work of finding out if the instructor will have an issue with a blind person in class and how do i learn these moves... so i just need to work up the courage to put myself out there and ask...ask...ask. My will power is getting better. I can't say i like exercising, but i'm getting so accustomed to it that it feels weird when i don't do it on the day i'm supposed to. and lack of opportunity just means i need to find other ways to work out when i have to do it alone.
to that end, in class, we had a Silver sneakers instructor named Rhonda. she told Karen and me about a class she teaches for seniors of course that is based on chair exercises. she told me that Silver sneakers is also for disabled people of any age. Yea! we are invited to a complimentary class tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. to see if we like it. I'm game. i needed to ad something to Tuesday because well, the yoga classes aren't strenuous so we should be able to do both. there! opportunity and i should fit right in. Right now, i'm not apart of silver sneakers, but until i can get signed up, we can purchase punch cards for the class at discounted rates. Once i get the moves down and then if Karen doesn't want to go one day, i still can. Voila! social barrier removed.
Okay, i'm gonna go do some reading up here. I haven't checked in with folks in a few days. gotta see what ya'll have been up to.
Blessings.
