But I hate exercising!

Desi80 · November 26, 2006

I have found the more weight i lose, the more active i feel like being. I don't "exercise" I participate in "physical activities that i enjoy" such as horseback riding, walking nature trails, etc

The band helped get weight off quickly so that i felt like being more active, the less my knees and back hurt, the more active i became, the more weight i lost, and it sort of just snowballs...the lapband gives you that kick start.

I figured the only way to be sure to excercise is to make it fun. So.......I bought a trampoline. Yes, you heard right! Not a big giant one, but a personal sized one. I may look a little foolish; but it will be 'fun'...I could do that!!!:phanvan

This is going to sound weird, but I gotta say that right now I *dont'* hate exercising. I think I might even *like* it. What made the difference was music. Load up an iPod with really great, feel good music! I also do this little mind trick. Whenever I drive by my gym, I look over at it, smile, and say (and try to mean it!): "I LOVE that place." I know that probably sounds silly, but it seems to be working. I try to take the strength training slowly, enough to feel a little tenderness between workouts (so I know I'm improving), but not so much that I don't want to go back because I can barely lift my arms! Slow and steady...

I truly envy and admire those folks I see jogging every day, at home, at work, whereever. They get a 'runners high'. I would love to feel what they're talking about. How come these folks don't make excuses? Why do they have the time that i don't? I hope that the weight that will be coming off will increase my energy level enough to get me into a routine.

I also bought a dance tape to do at home. I always wanted to learn how to salsa and it is called Core Rhythms. It is from some people who were on "Dancing with the stars". It is really fun and doesn't feel like exercise. I can't wait to start up again next week! Audree
