Ken and I are determined that we will get fit this year. Ken is motivated in order to keep his blood pressure down and stay off medication. I am motivated by needing surgery. It's important to both of us to lose the weight so we are happy and healthy as well as to stay active in the kids' lives.
We were able to get reasonable rates through the VA, but it took us months of paying before we started. Because of a shoulder injury, I wanted the new Super Sport that has a pool, and swimming has helped to keep me from that surgery. However, I require a different one that will drastically improve my life, but at my current weight, I am a surgical risk. So, I found my motivation.
As a teacher, I always emphasize the importance of finding one's motivating factor in order to spark learning. As a teacher, I am often the worst student. But, I can no longer put this off, so I started my fitness routine on Wednesday. I met with a trainer in order to get an idea of what to do without hurting myself, and then went back today for Round 2.
I will keep everything posted on here not only to inform my friends and family, but as a reminder to myself of why I need to get going.
