Morning walk!

It's time for my walk. I need to get it in before the heat comes. It's now 6:00 AM. For the past month and a half I have been walking daily, and now I am up to 3 miles. It has helped me with toning up my legs. I find after my morning workout, I have lots of energy for the day - it keeps me positive.   I have a lot of toning to do. One of my biggest fears is losing so much weight and having my skin stretch out so badly that I will have all that hanging skin that is common with this weight loss.   With the lap band, working out is a big key, and I know a lot of us are not used to it. I was not always this size - I was a size 12 for many years, and a fitness junkie. But as I gained weight, I lost the energy and the will to want to work out.   So with the loss of 80 pounds, I got back the motivation to get back into fitness and health. In the past, I have joined gyms, but like most, I stopped going. Now, what I've done is come up with, and incorporate many exercises I can do from home and get the same results as if I were in the gym. In this economy, where things are so hard for so many of us, we try to save money where we can - but it does not mean I have to skimp on my health - hence I started my home exercise routine.   You can check out my blog, with some more information on this and what I do to help deal with the sagging skin.   Check out this site: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/ :thumbup:
