One of my biggest struggles, not just after my sleeve but my whole life,
has been trying to be active. I never liked to work out, and would
rather sit on my butt and browse the internet or watch TV. Before
getting my sleeve, I made a conscious effort to be more active, and I
was (usually...obviously when starting, and still now, there are days I
don't want to do anything). Since my sleeve, I've gotten even better.
I've started small, vowing to do at least 10 minutes of fitness every
day. Most of the time, once I've started, I keep going. I feel better
after doing something active, and am working hard to get to the place
that it becomes habit, and something I NEED to do.
If you're like me, you need motivation... and lots of it! Obviously,
losing weight is motivation, losing inches is motivation... but I need
little things to push me forward. I bought a FitBit, so I could be more
aware of how much I was getting up and walking around, and I love it so
far.
Recently, I found a site that I thought I'd pass on, in case you guys hadn't heard of it.
If you use something to track your fitness (ie: fitbit, nike, garmin),
you can sync it up to this website and earn points which you can redeem
for things. The more active you are, the more daily points you get. Kind
of a cool extra motivator!! :]
If you use my referral link, you'll get 50 points when signing up to
start you off! (I wish I would have known someone to refer me to get 50
points, I only have 33 so far! haha).
