I was whining in the last post about the pain I experience when exercising, and in the post before about the lack of weight loss I’m experiencing… or not. While complaining seems to be my thing at the moment, not everyone is happy about the constant whine. To this end, one of my daughters sent me this chart which she thought might quieten me for a while.
To be fair, she does have a point, If I want to complain I should be doing it here… which after all is part of the point of running the blog! Either way, the chart seems to be an aid to dieting since it explains the problem I’m experiencing and gives me some hope I’m still ‘on the path’ to meaningful weight loss. I’ve only been dieting seriously for the past three weeks… tho it feels a lot longer… so, according to the chart, I’m still in the ‘healing’ phase and can’t expect to begin to lose weight regularly (week by week) for another two to three weeks. I’m still expecting *some* loss, but perhaps not at the rate I was hoping for and until I drop the required ten kilos, I can’t go back to the surgeon to get a date set for the sleeve operation.
So, back to the point of the title, whilst I know I need to be exercising more frequently to tighten up the muscles, I can’t expect it to aid much in weight loss, and certainly not just by walking around a swimming pool for a few hours a week. It may well be some truth to the saying “What doesn’t kill you does you good” but I think right now pushing myself will cause more harm than good so I’ll not try to do much more until the weight has dropped, and that should start (again according to the chart) in two to three weeks. Fingers crossed eh? 🙂
