HopefulBride Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 So went to the Dr. today to go over my test results. Good news is things are improving, my thyroid levels are leveling off. Bad news is I am extremely deficient in Vitamin D and the Dr. says I need supplements, oh other news (it's more weird than good or bad) I have to [b]have to[/b] exercise about 3-4 days a week. She thinks that it will help with some of my help issues and get my metabolism to act right. I've always avoided exercising because I am barely 90 pounds and afraid I'll lose weight but she has assured me that in my case a lot of the hormone/thyroid issues will be fixed and I'll start [b]gaining [/b]weight. We'll see if she's right, today is going to be day one. I"m taking gigi out for a long walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 exercise fixes a lot of things... at least according to my non-existent expert medical opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 *Tears of joy* I'm so happy! I fellow short person! I'm only about 110 myself. If anything you will gain weight in muscle because muscle weighs more than fat does. If you do Pilates you will have a very strong back and you will gain bigger muscles all over your body. Has your doctor recommended this, or does she think you should steer clear from it due to medical reasons? If not it's totally worth it, plus you don't even have to work out that much. Thirty minutes a day is plenty. You won't want to do much more once you start to get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to focus on getting your body's cardiovascular system, muscles and bones in shape, the weight thing will work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I care about the CV systemb but I really want to gain weight, I want a weight gaining guarantee... sigh, I didn't get to walk gigi yesterday. Went grocery shopping with my sis and we didn't get back until after 9:45 and it was sooo dark. This morning I meant to do it but I woke up late, tonight is not an option since Father H. is leaving us and the youth group core team is having dinner with him. I know these all sound like excuses not to exercise but I am really wanting to do it.... I just need to find the time. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day.

Maximilianus Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 There really isn't any weight gain guarantee. Navo had this issue, some people just don't put on weight. As you get older you will most likely gain weight. You can always build muscle, which involves more than just walking. Try eating more rice and beans.

TheresaThoma Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 HB idea!. When you get out of bed in the morning five pushups (and I mean real ones not the sissy ones on your knees). before you go to bed five more. As you get stronger do more. Also go for a walk on your lunch break. Go for rosary walks. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
