I agree, I joined a gym, and being sober only 24 days now and still suffering from PAWS, it help ease the muscle issues I'm dealing with. My first day there I did elliptical training. Now this might sound pathetic, but I did 7 1/2 minutes, then I had to stop do to my heart rate being over 200.
The way I see this is a victory, no activity for 7 years, so I lasted for about a minute per year. Im going back today and I'm striving for 10 minutes. Then progress from there.
Im also going to try piyo, never thought I would say that, but I think for the mental aspect it could be healthy. I just hope I dont look like an idiot. Fuck it though, this is my life and could careless what other's think.
If I can get back to around 165-175lbs, I think I'll be happy. I'm at 210 now so I have a ways to go. Not sure if this was mentioned here yet, I didn't read all 36 pages, but im also psyched that I enrolled into my insurance wellness program. It will pay fir my gym membership for the entire year sans 30$, with 120 visits in a year period. Thats ten a month, if I can't do that then im just lazy. I encourage people to look into that as money is tight for most.
Thanks Again All,
Bob
