Lives in Myrtle Beach SC
Sex Female
About I am a nearly 56 y-o woman with a husband, three adult children, and nine grandchildren. I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke after my first year of law school in July 1995. After I graduated from law school in 1997, I became a human rights investigator instead of practicing law. I went on LTD in August 2007 and my husband and I moved to Myrtle Beach, SC to be near our family. (Yes, it is difficult to use a wheelchair and live in an environment where so much is geared toward sand and water!) Upon medical retirement, I lost 56 labs because I now had time to exercise. Now I’ve gained half of the weight back, even though I still do an hour of a modified yoga routine 4-5 per week followed by half an hour of moderate pedaling on my recumbent stationary bike and my fairly healthy diet hasn’t changed. I use an electric wheelchair since I lack the upper body strength to wheel myself up and down the ramp to let our dogs out as needed when I’m here alone, which is about 2/3 of the time. But I don’t want to be obese anymore! THOUGHTS? SUGGESTIONS?
