During my laze-fest of 2009 I did manage to do some commuting to work on my bike, which I want to get back to as soon as it gets a bit warmer, but I've also fully wrecked my knees. I can barely walk now and have such difficulty walking from one point to the other it makes me frustrated to try anything else. I know that if I start doing stuff that the knees and back will feel better, but as always for me, it's the fear of the pain that keeps me from not moving. I need to be able to do some significant walking come early April and I'm trying to focus on that for motivation. The company I work for has an event at a resort that is very spread out and you're walking a half mile or so just to get to your room, not to mention back and forth to the exhibit hall, etc. It about killed me last year and I really don't want that again.
So here I am. Back again, for all of your wonderful advice, support and camaraderie. I'm making changes in my diet, but not going full force like I did last time in hopes of not having another failure. I don't want to fail, I want to succeed and be able for my husband and I to go on hikes and bike rides and enjoy life.
Whining done, thanks for listening.
