Name 5 Non-Food Related Activities - Life After Wls

Now that my life isn't focused on food, it's time to get out and enjoy the world. Share 5 things you want to do more of. My goal is to have fun, try different things and not replace an old addiction with a new one.

1. Movies (this one is debatable as to whether food is involved)

2. Exercising

3. Reading and participating in my book club

4. Buying myself flowers once a month

5. Get regular pedicures

I love the idea of treating myself to pedicures in lieu of food treats!

1. Shop (I just want to enjoy it again!)

2. Go skating with my kids

3. Walk... Walk.... Walk

4. Sit the duration of one of my son's sporting games without my legs going numb or back hurting.

5. Play outside with my kids. Build snowmen, create angels and throw leaves ;)

Oh this is easy:

1. Walking - everyday

2. Water aerobics - love the way it tones my body

3. Winter sports - snowshoeing, cross country skiing

4. Swimming, snorkelling

5. Bike riding

I am looking forward to the winter sports as fall is in full swing.

I'm going outside with the kids now. It's been awhile. Thanks for that suggestion. Can't wait to shop to, just hope I don't become addicted.

Running

Playing tennis better

Hiking longer, steeper

Shopping in regular stores

Exploring new activities I haven't had the confidence to try before

1. Running at least 5 times a week

2. Shopping in any store I want to and not worry if they carry 'plus sizes'

3. Wearing a pair of heels longer than an hour without putting flats on

4. Travel without being wedged in a seat on the plane fighting to keep the armrest down because its rising bc of my hips

5. Walkin confidently in a room lookin good in my skin and clothes without pulling and tuggin tryin to hide my love handles

Don't forget about forget some sweet lovin' and romance! Hey Hey!

Take a new walking or hiking trail and explore.

Clean out your garage, attic or anything that was too taxing pre op.

Crank up the music at home and dance like no one is watching.

Discover a new hobby or skill you have always been afraid to try.

Read a book about someone who has experienced great life success and be inspired.

Join a small group, church, community group and make a difference in someone else's life.
