Re: Advantages of Exercise
I hear you MJO! I think part of the problem is how very active I was shortly after diagnosis. Running to lots of classes designed for recovery. I felt pressured. So now I am at the other end of the spectrum and feeling lazy. I even got my husband involved in "Fit After Fifty" exercise 3 times a week. HE still goes but I no longer can get up that early (8am class) so I stay in bed.
Now I hear the reports that even slightly elevated BP can cause stroke. I know that exercise would help in that area too.
So it makes me feel MORE guilty. And resentful! I need to find something enjoyable. I have 2 dogs who would love longer walks.
Maybe I am just tired of all the "shoulds". Thanks for letting me vent. Oh, and I love dessert! lol
Keep the faith everyone.
