Not so long ago I would cringe just thinking about exercising. Why would I want to get up off my comfy couch and have to put down my can of soda? This is the thinking that got me to where I weighed 345lbs. I was lazy and depressed and my way of dealing with it was to do absolutely nothing. Sure I would get to a point where I would get on my treadmill and try to eat healthy. That lasted a week or two at a time and quickly my treadmill would be back to collecting dust and only get used by hanging clothes on it. I felt I was a lost cause and why bother? Then one day that all changed and I realized the path I was going down was going to lead to an early death. Now fast forward three months and here I am after having the Gastric Sleeve surgery 65 pounds gone and I turned my whole life around. I couldn't go back to the way things were just a short time ago!
I embraced change and now I love to workout and get my sweat on! I am still a beginner and am learning my way into this world of healthy living. I found some really great video's on YouTube. You just have to find what you enjoy. Like I have mentioned in the past I love to swim and workout in the pool. When I am in waist deep water I run from one side of the pool to the other and you feel your calves burn, I also swim laps, and just lean on the wall and kick my legs until I can't anymore. I also enjoy racing my 13 year old son and now I can even beat him.
Working out is just a daily part of my life now and I am enjoying every minute of it! This is a picture of me after I did my new favorite treadmill workout. I will post the workout video below it.
