Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Health and quality of life
I went to a convention last week. Yes, it was nice that friends and colleagues I had not seen for two years were astounded at my weight loss. But my WOL is all about health and quality of life. I danced (including one three-minute boogie with my state's lieutenant governor) for hours at parties. I walked or took the subway rather than wait for the buses hired to take conventioneers to off-site events. I took stairs instead of elevators and escalators. I swam laps in the hotel pool each evening. I loaded two dozen boxes full of videos and CDs into my van and unloaded them at the hotel for a party my group was hosting. A year ago, I would not have been physically capable of doing any of this. There's your quality of life! Kasey 365/248/??? Every day, lived like this, makes idieting and exercise worth it! i > I went to a convention last week. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Kasey > 365/248/??? >A year ago, I would not have been physically capable of doing any of >this. > >There's your quality of life! "Weigh" to go, as they say. And I bet it's been worth it!

It's always been about health and quality of life for me, too. Beverly > I went to a convention last week. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Kasey > 365/248/??? Health update: Sleep doc called this afternoon. When I first went to the sleep clinic in 1998, sleep study showed I stopped breathing about 150 times an hour. That's nearly three times a minute. Tuesday's study showed I stopped breathing about 50 times an hour. That's still 50 times too many, but it's a vast improvement, doc said. (He was positively giddy. I guess so few of his patients lose weight that he doesn't know how to act.) Next step: another night in clinic to find proper pressure for CPAP machine. It will be less than now, doc thinks. As always, YMMV. Kasey 365/248/??? <snip> > That's still 50 times too many, but it's a vast improvement, doc said. Congrats! > (He was positively giddy.

Do you find yourself less tired now that you're sleeping better? I read somewhere that lack of sleep often interfers with weight loss. I know if I don't get enough rest I find myself snacking to boost my energy the next day. Congratulations! Beverly >I went to a convention last week. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >Kasey >365/248/??? What a nice post, Kasey! I'm so happy for you! I too find so many differences in what I can do -- and even enjoy -- compared to previously. Chris 262/143/ (145-150) |
