I would if I could

I have started getting back into the routine of things and seeing that my ankle, back AND neck are all giving me issues I sought some advice on what I can do that will not further strain these areas while I work the problem off (excess weight).

I think it is due to excessive weight that I am having all these problems. Well that and not enough vitamins in my daily diet to help out. I had put on LOTS of weight when I had all 3 of my children back to back. I have always been good at "maintaining weight" but never really losing it as I got older. SO I have maintained my baby weight. Hmmmm not.so.good!

I am getting older and I really need to start thinking of the things that will help me along the way and not weigh me down and keep me in pain. I stay active but it is not enough. I rarely eat throughout the day and that is an issue. I still think I am a twenty something year old work mule and it is getting the better of me.

I got some wonderful advice to use a stationary bike for exercise (with some weight exercises I have). I started a menu for healthy eating and we are loving the foods!

So as I received this advice I also got an offer to have my aunts stationary bike. HECK YES!

We went out to her "farm" the other day to pick it up (along with LOTS of outside toys and bikes and tractors for Bear that her son has outgrown).

Now if we could just convince him that this one was for me...

I would do what I got it for!
Now, Where to put it?

** mind the clean laundry in the background that had yet to be hung up** :)
