YAY! Very stoked due to weight loss ~ FINALLY! Waiting now for my depression counselor to come for a home visit. Doing better with exercycle, & added some other low-impact exercises too. I have a neat slide-card thingie that has some great flexibility & strength training exercises. I have about a dozen sheets of other exercises, but using the slide card is much easier so just doing that for now. Even though they're low impact, it gives quite a work out. I can't even do all of them at one sitting, so I'm doing the Flex ones in AMs & the Strength ones in PMs. Feeling lots more positive now, & look forward to telling my counselor & Dr. about my progress. I don't consider myself a "control freak" where people are concerned, but I do hate it when I have situations or issues that I have no control over, or that I can't seem to at least work toward changing for the better. I was really getting depressed & starting to think the weight just wasn't going to come off at all, so I couldn't have my surgery, then my life is basically over, etc. ~ you get the picture. So these new developments came at just the right time, & I'm thankful to my Lord for helping me through each day, & for these & many other great blessings.

TY Jass! All the exercise & trying to eat right are finally paying off again, & it feels sooo good! I got out in my power chair after my counselor left, & did a little tour of our wildflower area on our property. Here in Oregon we are still below our rainfall needs for the season, but the wildflowers are springing up all over & are just lovely. This activity is one that always cheers me up, & I got some great flower photos too! Maybe I can figure out how to post some pics of them on here. I also need to get a pic of me posted, for a "before & after" comparison. I hope you're having a great day, & that you'll have an even better tomorrow.

Would love to see the pics of both the flowers and you, Glam! I know what you mean about the before and afters, they are always so inspiring to see how far you and others have come. Keep hanging in there!

Good job! Having a positive mental attitude is 90% of this weight loss thing. Focus on your progress, not your setbacks. You got this!

Thanks so much, all my dear FS friends! Don't know what I'd do without your encouragement. I'm hanging in there trying to eat right, & have added some more exercises, mostly upper body since I exercycle, but did add a couple back, hips & legs exercises too. These are very low impact, as my joints have little or no cartilage left & I want to strengthen the muscles & all without injuring the joints themselves. I think these exercises will do just that. I have one more PT session I think, then I'm on my own for exercising til after my hip replacement, so these exercises are a very big deal for me. I'm determined not to be confined permanently to a wheelchair til I'm at least 70 (only 12 years away, but still), when it won't be quite as big of a deal for me. I am determined to do all I can to stay as healthy as I can, for as long as I can! I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!
