I am giving thought to all the things that have changed since I started using my Lobos.
1. Energy! I have talked about the new found energy...it's huge. This presents a new "problem". I am mobility challenged, I am still in a wheel chair. But maybe the smallest dog will get washed tomarrow.
2. Stand and WALK unassisted steps. I am strong enough now to actually stand up out of my chair and do dishes, empty the dishwasher,do laundry.( see #1)
3. Get out of the pool...there are 5 steps out of the Y pool. On my first day, I was so weak I actually contimplated the Hoya Lift. Now less than 2 months later I climb the stairs just holding the rails. I have actually taken the last step.
4. I have left any depression behind. I am angry with myself for allowing myself to get so out of shape. BUT that said I am fixing it. I have addressed lost inches and I will measure myself again later this week. I will forgive myself.
5. I can sit up straighter. I have to remind myself...old HABITS die hard.But I have muscles to call on. I can suck my stomach in...lol. I cannot do it long, but hey there is a muscle I had completly forgotten about.
6.Sleep...I have not slept thru the night since baby number 1 (hes 41)...No I still do not sleep all night, but I sleep so soundly. I do wake up just one time to make the bathroom trip, but I return to sleep and the next thing I see is daylight...and my cat's nose. She is used to eating much earlier
The list goes on...I will add to it. I have nothing negative to add.
Don't be mad at yourself unless it is for not inventing LOBOS first.
ReplyDeleteThere are countless millions of people who also don't have the joints to allow traditional exercise methods to work.
These are very embarrassing to many health and fitness pros because they expose how inefficient modern methods are.
People think these are made by some big company as they are made in my basement.
We just need to figure out social media to let them know.
I am so proud of you...
