Weigh in week 5

Last night I weighed in another 1.2 lighter woohoo, that's a total of 5 kilos so far.  I am so pleased with my achievement and it's made me even more determined than ever.  At WW we had a trainer come and talk to us about getting into some kind of exercise.  It has got me thinking that there is a real need for a very easy low impact exercise group for people like myself who are starting out.  Looking around the group every person there had medical reasons which prevented them exercising and going to a "normal class" is just out of the question, they would end up a cripple the next day and would need to start off really slowly.  Maybe someone out there might read this and take up the challenge.

I did a aqua class today, aqua deep, it has to be my favourite class.  I just love the freedom of the deep water.  I had a chat with the trainer and asked her about other aqua classes and is it still possible to lose weight by just exercising in the water.  She suggested I try water jogging.  This is something I would definitely like to try.  Maybe tomorrow afternoon.

I visited my Doctor today who was delighted with my weight loss and she totally understood my frustration at not being able to walk.  She suggested I see a sports physiologist who can cater a program for me with minimal weight bearing on my left foot.  She referred me to one who goes to my own gym and I have an appointment with her on Thursday.

I'm starting to feel like there is ways around this injury. :)

Plan for this week:  try water running, work on the bike and also the cross trainer and try the Pilates DVD I got a few Christmases ago.
