Sleeved 8/6 I hv not done any exercise. ..was In a bad car accident a week after surgery then the following week another one...needless to say I'm not moving like I need to...then I also think its mental. .walkin I hate..and I hurt went I do...I need help breakin that mind set..I c this gon b a issue

So sorry to hear about the bad experiences. I firmly believe everything happens for us and not to us. I've been through a lot myself. What I know for sure is I am in charge of my thoughts. I can choose to suffer or focus on what I want and take steps each day in that direction. I get up everyday and journal my thoughts. Anything that is bothering me, regardless of what it is. Then I stop and listen. For years I've been guided on how to think and proceed. Then I write down and say my positive affirmations. Hope that helps! It's changed my life direction for the last 20 years into a great ones!

Thnx u know my mom gv me a journal and I hv yet to touch it..guess ill pick it up today. .go sit by the lake n write my thoughts

I'm a,so here for support also. I'm jumping through my last hoop before submitting to insurance for approval. Think positive with me. I'm hoping for 9/16 or before. :-)

Sorry to hear about your challenges, but I'm so glad that you're still here to voice your concerns with us! I know walking is boring at times, but it is the only form of exercise that you can really do right now. Start slowly, and walk through the pain; without further injuring yourself of course! I started off with very short 5 minute walks and woked my way up to an hour, although my nurse said that was too much at one time. She said that I only need to walk 15-20 mins at a time a couple times a day. Walking makes me feel better, but like you, I have a hard time getting motivated to do it everyday. I try to walk around the stores instead, a little more interesting than walking down the street with my IPod!

I really hope you can get moving soon, I know that you will feel better and heal faster once you do; plus the weight comes off a lil quicker and muscle mass multiplies more as well!

Be well!
