Having A Hard Go Of It

[Dulci 108]

I have always been a non-athletic person. Even as a child, I would prefer to read a book over doing something active.

I have found that listening to a book on my ipod motivates me to get on my stationary bike. The only time I listen to books is when I am exercising and I have found that I lose track of the time on the bike because I am enjoying my book. I have also continued exercising a bit longer than I planned because I wanted to hear the next part of my book.

Water aerobics and swimming are great for those of us who are overweight. I have lost 130 pounds with WA and Swimming as my primary form of exercise. They even make Water proof mp3 players which makes swimming so much nicer. Also once I'm in the water no one can see me anyway!

I even have thin people at the gym come up to me and tell me what an inspiration I am. Considering in my head I still kind of see myself as weighing 360 pounds that's pretty funny!
