There's a plan?

Okay, it seems a plan is required.

So far my plan is : walk every day between 30 min to an hour
: try to make healthier food choices (this is still nebulous but will involve the
core plan foods of weight watchers)
:drink 8 glasses of water, this is proving harder than I thought
: substitute green tea for diet pepsi

Now, in my family knees have been a hereditary problem. Today I saw a physiotherapist who has diagnosed me with knock knees. In order to help this problem I also have a regimen of leg excercises that I am going to supplement with general weights to make a strength component of this program. He did say that it was okay to continue with my walking program but I have to invest in some orthotics to correct the foot. Probably this will be some kind of shoe insert.
He suggested biking.
Now, I do have an inherited bike that my wife adjusted for me, but my gut makes riding it uncomfortable, it is squishing my flubber so that it is hard to breath! And I feel like a gorilla on a tricycle when trying to ride it. I can hear the big top music as I circle the alley.

Greetings from a fellow "fatblogger"!!! I've lost over 80 lbs so far (blogging and eating healthy) and only a mere 60ish more to go!

I still don't exercise like I should - but I'm working on it.

I have a stationary bike I use a bit. I am also trying to work up to a 100 pushups (eventually) - for now I'm doing 25 modified (on my knees pushups) and increasingly a little very few days.

Health and Happiness, Lady Rsoe

PS I'm adding to the blogroll page over the Diet Pulpit so I can visit often - hope it's ok.
