You are not even chubby! But, I can tell you loved the ’80’s :rotfl:

Oh boy, a whole year before the love really kicked in? Oh dear I do hope it doesn’t take me that long. I’m feeling really blah right now, but I think it is the veins in the clots are getting inflamed and infected again. I really don’t want to go back on antibiotics and antinflammatory tabs but a friend gave me a great tip for purifying the blood and inner health. Drink litres of purified water every day, that contains at least one whole lemon, not just the juice. So I shall do that again because it seemed to help last time.

thanks Leonie- you are much further ahead in all this area than I am so I appreciate your help and encouragment. :heh:

As a teen and young mum I bordered on anorexia and have battled eating disorders most of my life. 🙁

I think I started to get hooked this time around when I realised how great workouts made me feel – that endorphin high, which is why I love cardio – and finding workouts I love – for me, kickboxing, dance, anything to good music. It maybe took a year for me to feel that love – now I feel less happy, less energetic, less me when I don ‘t work out.

Wow Leonie…you got out of the habit when pregnant with #7. Do you know how super human you sound to me right now? LOL Not really but I think you’ll know what I mean. I do recall your being really unwell and having surgeries back then when you were in SA. I didn’t realise that you were a fitaholic before all that! 🙂 But what I really want to know is…how long were you working out for until the love of it took over???? I really need to know this. I know it still needs self discipline and all that but when does it start to get easier?

I’m glad you were actually diagnosed- it helps. The thrombophlebitis is actually part of what kick started all this for me again. It eased off a lot, until the last few days and the pain and burning is starting to come back again. It feels like the clots in the vein are indeed getting infected again. 🙁 Maybe that’s why I’m feeling off colour?

Thanks leonie!

Then, got out of the habit until pregnant with number 7 – and went back to aerobics tapes 3 times a week..Fast forward to depression and becoming obese and no exercise…Got back into working out seriously August 2001 after miscarriage and deep vein thrombosis and being diagnosed with fsctor v leiden…Started with walking every day then gradually added in other things..I’ve only missed a handful of days since then and thats been because of surgery! lol! So INO worked for me until love of working out took over…You are a great encourager, Susan!

How long have you been working out for? It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

Now, working out is my love – but I had to get to that stage – so, in the early days, NOT doing a workout was INO. Regardless.

oh it’s great to see that you are working out too- only you are so much more self disciplines than I am. 5.30am? And, you have little ones! what an inspiration you are.

BB- what can I say? 😀

But I’ll be back.

I’m not as far along as you.. I made the decision and bought my running gear last week – and have accomplished two workouts.

And now I’m going to say good-bye and get to my next life changing disciplined life action – decide to pray the Shimoneh Esrie every morning.

Sombra
