(3,208 posts)And so glad to hear about your personal journey. My joints (hips, back, shoulders mainly) are having major issues after a life of crappy jobs, so I decided I need to work on the muscular part of my body. Walking everyday (thanks dog, for reminding me to get out there) and some dancing with 3 pound weights has kept me from becoming bed ridden. I still have some problems getting up after sitting and sometimes my hips make me stumble, but that I can live with.
On a family road trip this year, I was able to do more than I would have if I had not been taking care of this bag of bones.
Now I need to fight my sweet tooth and carb cravings and maybe lose some of this extra 25-30 pounds I don't need. I think my bones would appreciate that, too.
Stories like yours are a good inspiration!
