Life ****Official Weight Loss and Exercise Thread****

I got tired of trying to diet last summer and went to the Dr. He tells me he wants me to lose slowly, too fast and it comes back with extra. He gave me a script for some prescription metabolism boosters that have been tested and proven safe. He then mentions that since I like golf, he wants me to play twice a week but I can't ride in a cart, I have to walk.

When I started, walking 9 holes twice a week was about all I could do because of pain in my ankles, hips and knees. But I kept on and in a few months I could walk 9 anytime but 18 was a bit tougher. Now it takes walking 27 holes to do me in. BTW, I don't spend all day on the course either. I get up early and am at the course a little after daylight, it takes me a little over an hour to walk 9 holes. Early in the morning you have the course pretty much to yourself and don't have to wait on people. Hit and walk, hit and walk. If I start before 7 I can usually have 9 holes in, back home for a shower and to the office by 9 am.

It's been over a year now and a good 30+ pounds later and I'm still going. 30 pounds in a year may not sound like much to some, but I've been at it long enough now with just a few minor adjustments that this is something that has been more of a lifestyle change than quick drop.

Dr asked me this spring how the golfing for excercise was going, then tells me he wants me to up it to 3x a week. I love you Doc!
