THANK YOU!!!!!!!

A: Hey Angie! I too have many physical challenges. I won’t go into them all, but my spine has a C-curve and I also have degenerative osteoarthritis. Ouch! I have found the best exercise for myself to be water aerobics. Also just being in the water, moving around, gentle swimming (no Olympic training now!) gives me a good warm up and cool down as well as just making me FEEL better. Also, PT can be very good for all your problems, but I can’t promise it won’t occasionally hurt a bit. A good physical therapist can also recommend good low impact exercises. Angela, I am so happy to know you are doing this. It is another sign of growth and determination to take back. I too am going through attempting to lose some weight. So far I have lost about 30lbs. YEAH FOR ME! I still have about 70lbs to go so girl you’ll get there before me! I wish many many blessings on you. I’m very very proud of you as well. If you don’t lose the weight quickly or at all for that matter, don’t you go thinking you’ve failed. This sure isn’t the first time for me or anybody else trying to lose weight. Remember, E-mail me anytime! Love ya – [email protected] (LOL)
