Topic: Adjusting to new routines

so I've had the same routine that I love, love, love for the past two years. My son has been anxious to be old enough to go with me to the gym. Finally bit the bullet and got membership somewhere that accepts his age. 

The drawbacks: i have to leave earlier to get him home in time for his bed time. I have to cut my usual work out short as a result, and since I need to show him the ropes with weights, it further cuts into my time. I can't try classes yet since between his homework, my having to cook dinner and his bedtime I won't make it to a class on time.

My mind is just distracted knowing he's there. Ugg- I feel so selfish-- I want MY time back. I'll be patient. Hopefully he'll get into his groove and we won't be joined  at the hip while there.

I just learned about an app for your phone called C25K that gets you to jogging a 5k in 9 weeks.

It's still a thing where I live. My psychologist was recommending it to me last week.

Has your doctor cleared you for squats?  I was only allowed to walk for the first 6 weeks post-op.  

Weight loss is at least 90% diet.  So focus on that and walking now.

That's great! You should definitely celebrate the small victories because guess what, they add up to huge ones! Being able to jog any amount of time is fantastic especially if you came from a place where you couldn't . I am so happy for you. Just make sure you are careful and wear proper shoes for running. I know that when I initially lost my weight I was still trying to jog and speed walk in shoes that I wore when I was 300lbs and my hips and knees would hurt so bad. I invested in some good running shoes and I cannot tell you how much better I felt. Now don't get me wrong, my hips and knees still bother me from time to time, but it is so much more manageable. Take care and good luck. Congratulations!

You are so lucky to be living where it is warm. I just said to my husband earlier that is it I am done with the cold time to move where it is warm. I live in Canada so I have to bundle up when I go for my runs and put the bike on a trainer until the nice weather comes.
