Self-employment is a limit pusher if ever there was one! Doing the work is easy, but all of the other stiff gets overwhelming sometimes and never stops adding up. A little vacation (or just an afternoon off) would be nice, but it's hard to force myself to do it!Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184781447606113899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-48685064544995894012013-06-07T08:30:44.565-04:002013-06-07T08:30:44.565-04:00Welcome SouthCoast!

But if you are respecting your limits and not doing anything dumb (something I've been known to do post-surgically!), I think your "go for it" attitude is great! Taking charge of the recovery process by doing what you can to stay active is HUGE, good luck!

I'm now recovered medically but still tired. So to push myself (within limits) is important to me so as to prove my recovery is going ok. I find pushing myself to do what I planned, no excuses, really works. Also when I fail to do what I planned, it's depressing. So it's walking and cycling for now, in small doses.

Cranky Fitness generally seems a lot more in touch with the real world than most of the fitness blogs out there. #8-)<br /><br />Now is all we have, solarity! #8-D<br /><br />Sherri, I think consistency in the basics is THE most important thing in fitness (and most other development goals).

I do go twice a week and that only costs me $25/year...I have access to two more days per week too, but the type of yoga I do doesn't seem like it is enough *real* exercise. Exercise should make you sweat and breath hard a lot, right? Yes I do sweat a little bit and sometimes am breathing hard during some of the more challenging positions, but it (yoga) can't be as good as a brisk walk, can it?Sherri https://www.blogger.com/profile/04928191196045775058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-72184742203714371822013-06-05T18:03:04.467-04:002013-06-05T18:03:04.467-04:00I always like to comment on these special postings...I always like to comment on these special postings before reading other comments...do I push myself? Why yes I do! But not in the way you might think. I push myself by seeing just how far I can go before I have to get back on track again. I constantly test the boundaries...How much wine can I drink before I see a negative result? How many times can I buy a pack of Skinny Cow frozen treats and only eat one per day? How much bread can I add in a day's worth of eating before the scale goes up? How little can I exercise in a week before I gain?<br /><br />So yes, I am a pushy b*tch at times, always testing my boundaries...but...as I continue to grow up, I am working on pushing myself more into the good ways of pushing one's self... I do that by trying new things and embracing the surprising good results that sometimes happen, like the recent addition of bike riding.<br /><br />Oh, and just a note, if my name gets drawn, please pass by and give the prize to someone else.
