Exercise for the sake of exercise



Recommended Posts

It sounds like you need more stimulation and maybe not necessarily exercise. Do you have a hospital nearby? They always need volunteers and you can volunteer for as little as four hours a day one day per week. Or at the library they have reading programs where you help people learn how to read it only takes an hour or two of your time or however much you want to put in. How about volunteering a few hours a week at a homeless shelter? Sometimes you just need to get out of your own head and into something else and volunteering is a great way to do that. In fact there is a volunteer website that you can put in your zip code and it brings up all the opportunities around your area. I'll find it.

I'm looking for things that burn ALOT of calories, but also are productive in other ways. My metabolism is such that I need to burn alot of calories plus keep my intake low in order to maintain. Being disabled and in a poor, rural area limits opportunities. For now, what I have been doing, is work out as hard as I can throughout the morning, then keep busy/moving the rest of the day. I'm checking that volunteer site, right now, thank you!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
