Slow and Steady Wins the Race

As I sit here 4 days after my surgery, I am realizing slow is the way to go. I have been slow getting out of chairs and bed due to soreness, I have been slow sipping my clear liquids, I have been slow walking. So this weight loss will need to be slow also to do its job.

I have already lost around 20 lbs since beginning pre-op diet but I know that will stop soon. Then it will be time to start moving. I am beginning slow there too. Water aerobics first, walking in between, then learn weights and hopefully in a year running (which I have never done, only F I made was skipping track time in high school).

But if you think about it all good things come in time....education, babies, jobs, homes, the list goes on and on. The fast track is what got me in this mess, fast food, fast snacks, fast full days with no time to think about what you are eating.

So as for me, I am OK going the slow route, it will last so much longer.
