on 5/18/14 1:30 pm - Canada
I went down the slide while playing at the park and swung on the swing, and my dog is loving my wls....... I work hard for my losses but am living much healthier now. I wish I was losing as fast as others but I'm not I think I've lost inches again as I'm into a size 20 and started wearing 28/30 5x to 6x when I could find it... Three dogs is a lot are you able to take them all out walking at the same time ? Anyway I concure great NSV.
yES i USED TO TAKE THEM ALL OUT AT ONCE. but I found that I was not enjoying the time with them as my male dog is a handful! Today I took each one separately for around 15 is each. They each relished in the one on one, as I did too. They are s o unique and I adore each one for that quality. I figure if I can get each one out in the morning, then again after dinner, that is almost 2 hrs that I am active each day ,so we all benefit. btw thaswing hurt my BONEY hips=== NSV for me!!!
I SOMETIMES WISH MY WEIGHt lOSS WAS FASTEr. (darn capslock) I even got crap from a nurse at hrrh because I had only lost 10 lbs in a month. scheesh that was so discouraging. At least I lost weight! and at a safe rate. I still tire easily, but I find getting out and walking helps with the fatigue, it also improves my mood. About the dogs, I take them all out for ball play= I toss a couple of balls, they all go for them and bring it back, then I throw it again, until they are out of breath. Then at some point I take each one out separately, for some leisurely walking time. They love it! I found at the park,it hurt my hips to swing, Im a lil boney at that spot lol. Congrats on all of your hard work! I know it dosent come easy. Sometimes I think others think...look at her, ya sure she lost weight , but she didnt have to do a thing cuz she had a bypass. These people as so uninformed!
This is why I joined this forum. Reading this gives me great motivation !! This is what I am looking forward to mostly, being able to DO things. Its not about appearance. Its the physical aspect and being able to go to the park, for a small walk, I want to go to the mall with my daughter and go around the whole mall, not plot how close I can get to the stores we need to go in, to not have to worry if there is a seat close by, or how huffy and puffy and red-faced I get or sending my daughter ahead so I do not have to stand so long.
Good for you ! Keep it up, and thanks for the inspiration !
