A Small Start

After being nudged along by Fleur's comment,  I have managed to do 15minutes on the treadmill. It was very slow, but I did it. I waited until I'd been off bed rest for a few days and then gave myself a rest day afterwards.  That means today is another 15 minutes on the treadmill. We'll see how I pull up.  Felt much better this morning but have crashed this afternoon.  Should have walked in the morning!!  I wonder if there are any other people out there trying to lose weight while simultaneously dealing with serious and inconveniently limiting health conditions?  It's a hard slog people and creates a bit of a different experience to losing weight as an otherwise healthy person.  Nothing to do but keep getting up and moving forward.  Oh, weighed in recently at 85.6kgs.  I'm going to set myself a goal of being able to exercise consistently again and I'm going to focus on losing 9kgs (20pounds) as inspired by Dawne. Even if it takes me 9 years I will lose it!

    I'm very touched that my comment gave you some motivation. Sometimes I think that the effort to actually do a little exercise is actually ruled by what's going on in our heads rather than our bodies. When I'm struggling either with energy or a niggly injury sometimes it's a friend or fellow runner just saying something positive to me that gives me the strength to have another go.

    So well done 15 mins on the treadmill is great!
