Better Than Wheel of Fortune

Thursday, March 26, 2009 by Lisa Buckalew
Oh, I am guilty too!  The idea of one more thing on my calendar honestly makes my heart beat a little faster.  A full time career, completing my bachelor’s degree, a marriage (I do occasionally like to see my husband), a home, two teenagers who are involved in more than one activity every season.  We range from youth group to golf to young playwright workshops to football to drivers training. Whew!  I don’t know about you but it wears me out just to read the list. 

Now, what about exercise? We all know we must keep that as a priority daily to stay healthy.  I am the perfect example of the hectic schedule and I must allow myself time daily to work on me.  I try to add activity in at any opportunity.  I take the stairs instead of the elevator, I do lunges around the kitchen while my popcorn is popping, I take the long route to the restroom at work.  Adding extra steps in as a starting point. 

If you are intimidated by joining an organized exercise, yoga or dance class get a partner and workout at home.  There are some great DVD’s available for less than $10.  Start in your very own living room or garage.  Even if you can only work out for 20 minutes a day, think how far you could come in a month, two or six. 

I honestly, cannot stand to walk on a treadmill; it is my ultimate last resort, but 20 minutes on that while listening to an iPod of my favorite tunes is better than sitting on my tush watching Wheel of Fortune. I am spinning my very own wheel by trying to incorporate everything I have learned at Clarian Bariatrics.  Give us a call to learn more about weight loss surgery, bariatric surgery costs and bariatric weight loss and start spinning your wheel of fortune.
