Tips??

Does anyone have any tips to help a person get refocussed?  I had back surgery last summer with months of rehab. I've now been released by the surgeon and need to get back to exercising. Luckily I've only gain 3-5 pounds depending on the day.  Suggestions anyone?

 Sounds like you've done exceptionally well, even with dealing with major surgery!  Congrats on keeping your regain to a minimum!  

I got off track over the holidays, and got back in gear by going low-carb.  Here's a link to a thread where I responded to a poster's request for information on foods to eat.  Scroll down, and I explained my current low-carb eating plan:

As for exercise, if you haven't been able to do much for a while, how about just walking?  It's the perfect time of the year to get outside, and enjoy Nature's renewal along with your own!  I like to listen to my iPod, and one of my favorite things to help me keep a good pace is using Podrunner, which is a Podcast available at the iTunes store.  You can select the program based on the bpm (beats per minute).  Most are geared towards running, but the ones in the 130-131 bpm range are excellent for power walking.

Good luck!
