(34,168 posts)Wonderful. I agree, it is a chore for me. I hate sweating unless I am playing tennis or working outside in the garden or with the horses. Blech. I have been ill all winter. My husband had a major heart surgery after a little over a year of real scary, horrible problems. It seems as soon as his rehab got him going well, better than ever really I got pneumonia. Not just pneumonia but a really nasty case. Usually steroids are not indicated but the coughing was so bad I was put on a long long course of them. Once my chest x ray cleared, 2 months later I was allowed to start to live again. In 3 weeks I got a horrible case of pertussis. More meds, more rest. I gained about 30 pounds and I am a small person so it is really bad on me. Right now I am so out of breath when I walk I can hardly stand it but in the last week have made enough difference that my jeans are not cutting my stomach in half. it is going to take me a huge effort to get this off.
Weights I like OK but I hate the rest of it. It is a chore and I detest anyone trying to make me do this stuff and admit it is good for me. I know it is but I hate it!
Going from vegetarian to vegan for a while. It should help although I am not certain I care to maintain that.
Wishing you continued good luck and strength to do what is needed for your health. Your post just inspired me as I sit here gasping after walking in from the kitchen. I will do it even if I don't like it!
