does it hurt to workout? buy a pool!!!!!

i know when i was at my top weight of 350 working out and even walking was painful. now i'm 15 pounds from goal and being more creative in my activities. all the things that i wished i could do pre-op i'm doing. things like being more out going, sightseeing(even in my own town), playing with my kids, going for walks in parks ect... my family has been so much happier since my wls. because i no longer stand on the sideline, but i now join in. i even showed my daughter how to do a cartwheel and her mouth opened in shock and then in giggles lol! since summer is here i have decided to get a pool. i thought this would be a good idea to mention to people who are having a hard time working out because of their weight and other healthy issues.water arobics is a great workout and also helps to tone. this way i can workout AND have fun with my kids. as parents we are the biggest role models in our children's lives. it is up to us to show them how to be active and healthy so they don't end up unhealthy. i even bought a kick ball today. i told the kids that they couldn't play with it unless i got to play too lol. all the neighborhood kids joined in and it was great.
