earlier today i saw an email from my primary care doctor that she sent a month ago (the secure email thing doesn't reliably notify me at my regular email), and my lipids are high enough to be concerning. my cholesterol ratio is bad and my triglycerides are high.
in the email she told me that it would be a good idea to start exercising. so i'm making a plan and figuring out what's feasible, given my pain and fatigue.
we have a recumbent exercise bike, and several Just Dance games on the Wii. our toddler also has a trampoline next to the exercise bike, which she likes to use while anyone's on the bike, so using the exercise bike doesn't mean not watching her. she also enjoys when people are playing Just Dance. (I enjoy these things too!)
the difficult part will be adapting to a new routine because my #autistic brain reacts to new routines with "NO, NO CHANGE. CHANGE BAD."
@holyspiritomb Wow - it sounds like you have an ideal set up for some fun exercise! When my kiddo was small, I didn't get to do much exercise so I'm retrospectively jealous of your bike-trampoline fun time! I hope you can do it in such a way that it feels accessible and not a difficult adjustment. You've got this!
