Looking for some friends :)

I have 63 lbs to loose. I go to the VA hospital ever day and that is where I get my walking in. I wish I lived near a park. I think that would be fun. Looking at the beautiful trees and the flowers. That would me nice. I would love to be your friend :laugh:

Welcome aboard! I find that a great way to get motivated is to make sure you try to do something different. You say gym to friends/family and most of the time the response is "Ugh, no thanks." And sometimes, our own brain says the same thing, even if we have the motivation to be more active. Glad you have a great partk near you. I moved away from a great one, so enjoy it while you have it so close.

This weekend I played frisbee golf. Unfortuantely, with living in New Mexico for a few more months, there are few parks with trees, but it's still a lot of fun. You feel the burn too with all the throwing (my arm is soooo sore). I also find it's great to just go swimming in the pool. It's exercise, but most people think, "FUN! Sure, let's go."

I also try to motivate myself to go to the gym, and usually it just helps if I have the gym bag in the car on the way home from work. Not sure if you've tried that but for me, it eliminates the excuse of being unprepared.

Feel free to add me as a friend. Always looking for more people to keep up the good fight of active living.

Welcome, i am so glad you are here, feel free to ad me I am here every day.
