I do not know if it is good or bad that my mind is consumed with my mission to lose. Either way it is. At this point I have little doubt it will come down to my ability to become active. The thing is I can't figure out how exactly. The 3 ruptured discs in my back are a part of my life whether I like it or not. I feel their needs to be something more strenuous than walking I can and need to do. One of my fears is if I try to push through the pain I could do more damage to my back. I am starting to think that is a risk I just have to take. On the other hand when I was seeing the countless doctors during treatment they never told me to limit my activities in any way. I suppose that is a sign that their is really not much risk.
One of the issues for the ignorant of exercise is the mixed messages that are out there. I had always been told you do not want to do to much weight lifting until you get a good deal of the weight off. The theory as it has been told to me is that you do not want to put muscle over fat. I guess that made sense to me at the time. I have been catching up on this weight loss TV show on A&E and that seems to not be an issue. From day 1 they are lifting at a very aggressive pace. Dudes on there were losing 180 pounds in 6 months. For now I can't wait to check my progress tomorrow. Decisions to come soon.
