Walk with me: Reflecting on recent changes
Getting back in gear
I recorded short walks before and after making my way to the pool. I’m pushing hard to re-gain my fall schedule, where I’m at the gym three times a week and going to the pool twice a week. I’m thrilled to say I’ve been successful this week.
Changes now that I’ve lost first 100 lbs
Mobility
- I’m able to get off the floor un-assisted.
- Able to stand for long periods of time, balance is better.
- Falling hardly ever, much less than before.
- Can walk longer distances without soreness
- Better body awareness
- Squats & deadlifts with weight on the bar
- Walking lunges
Food
- Able to control my eating
- Cooking for myself regularly
Other
- Exercise is helping mood a lot
- Getting more reading done
- Clothes are getting real loose
“Bigfoot footage” of me doing lunges at 460lbs
I got my first lunges on video, but unfortunately it was sent to me over SMS and Apple -> Android compresses the heck out of it. I’ll have to make sure to get a good recording in the future!
