With my disabilities I am nowhere near the level of sportsmanship y'all are with going to the gym and getting on the fancy equipment. Those days have been entirely too long ago for me. I remember the days of lifting weights, playing basketball, being on swim team and even taking gymnastics in my much younger years. However, over the years things changed. I will say now that I am determined to make changes to accomplish those things again. I have cut the carbs way back and started to move around more. As the weight is coming off the pressure on the joints and muscles is decreasing. It may not seem by much to everyone elses standards but to me those are huge. I have dropped a total of 54 lbs in a matter of a year...maybe a little more. I am going to continue by getting help from someone to till my garden plot so I can get outside and start working that dirt and moving around even more. Good health will be mine one day. I vow it even if it is said again with my last dying breath. I miss the things I used to do...including going to the gym. So first things first and Iwill eventually be back at it.
