Hmmmm, physical goals...gosh...you have made me think. I know that I had been having trouble gettin on the old socks every morning..partly from the weight I am sure, and partly from a sore back that I have right now. It seems easier right now...so that must be in part to the weight loss...as the back pretty much rules my life still.
I would like to be able to walk the 18 holes when I am golfing...tend to just ride the cart the past few years...and I used to love the walking...now whether I ever get back to my passion of golfing is still up in the air due to my back...but I have my fingers crossed.
I too, would love to be able to squat down...I know that is something I haven't done in years...
I would like to build up tolerance for exercise again...I have always been a big girl, but very active, and athletic all my life. I played fastball for 30 years...was a pitcher...and played volleyball, and badminton in the winters to stay in shape...somewhere that all went away...perhaps to get back out on the badminton court?? This old body will never play ball again however..
When I get into a program...weights etc...I love it...but have to confess to owning more than my share of the lazy stock...if it is a program..ie organized...instructor there, I am more motivated...if it is just me going to the gym...gt bored...need the pep and energy from someone doing with me. But I loved lifting weights...and hopefully I will get going on that soon too.
I bought a bike two years ago...did a bit of riding, which I enjoyed...but because of my weight, was always afraid to go too far because then I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back...used to drive my friends crazy...but you know...I would love to get on that bike and peddle my ass all over town...lol
Interesting thread you have started here...have had to think about this...and will follow with interest what others have to say.
Feel free to pop in and visit me...let me know how you are doing with your goals.
