Stitchawl: My preference is to be out hiking and riding bikes and playing soccer. Unfortunately a 9-6 job limits the amount of hiking I can do. Once the warmer weather comes I will resume biking to the grocery store and back. I don't think I will ever return to playing soccer.
I am 39 and my knees sound like a 60 years olds. My left hip didn't fully develop when I was in utero so they had to force the joint into the socket when I was a baby. This threw off the alignment of my entire left side. I played sports my entire life but it has left me now with really bad knees, a bad hip, and ankles that are starting to show problems. As much as I love soccer, I don't love it enough to push up knee replacement surgery by 10-15 years.
I am looking forward to better weather so I can start playing tennis.
If I can get out and get exercise outside the gym I will. But when I can't I use the gym.
beppe: My ADHD makes me have to be organized. If I am not all hell breaks loose. When i am not, I have my Husband to help me remember to do what I need to do. I refuse to go back on medication, I don't like how I feel on Ritalin. bleeeech. If I am not organized in my exercise routine I will end up back at 200 pounds and that is just not healthy.
