I'm in shape, round is a shape, right?
I am searching for ways to stay active as a busy SAHM and get exercise and I have narrowed down my choices for now as in home activities such as pilates, basic body weight lifting exercises without weights and riding my stationary bike. I stretch a lot and work in my yard, too.
I would love to be a jogger or a runner or even a fast walker, but half of the year it is too hot to go outside or bring my kids along. But, I am still looking forward to finding ways to do this, like putting them in a wagon or using the dual seat bike car we bought that has only been used twice!
Another reason I don't push high impact exercise on myself is that I have a flat arch in my left foot and bad arthritis in both of my feet. It doesn't help that I am nearly 85 lbs overweight! I have lost 8 lbs in the last few weeks by eating healthier and I think I found a food lifestyle that I plan to stick with.
I found this site for those of us who are more couch potato than runner bean!
Update: I am now using Intermittent Fasting, Weight Watchers Points plus and have looked into eating the foods in Happy Hormones, Slim Belly.
Information on Intermittent Fasting is on Dr. Mercola's site.
I use a third party program to follow Weight Watchers. Here for Android and here for iPhone. It has really helped. Although veggies are still free. I count some fruit, especially if it is in a recipe or a smoothie. Otherwise I would never lose weight. If you only eat veggies and fruit, then you'll have to contact Weight Watchers to find out how to count them.
Some apps for exercise are Sworkit, Workout Trainer by Skimble, iCircuit Training, All In Yoga
