I ended 2014 weighing 51 pounds less than when the year started.
And thanks to 10 months of physical therapy, I am physically stronger than I was when the year started. I can use an elliptical, a treadmill, a recumbent bike, a Total Gym, weights (up to 10 lbs) and resistance bands. I can do planks, bridges, squats, lunges and lots more.
As soon as it stays lighter longer, I hope to walk each night after dinner as far as I can. That might not be too far. But, it's still good considering that I've had to use a wheelchair for almost 26 years.
I'm 60 years old, disabled and terribly deconditioned from various injuries and illnesses, so if I can do this, anyone can! Don't give up!!! You can do it!
