(6,664 posts)You should be extremely proud of what you've accomplished.
And I am so with you on the fitness freaks. I have never particularly enjoyed exercise although there was a period in which I did low impact floor aerobics five days a week and loved them.
Then I had to have brain surgery and lost my inner ear, my balance nerve, and the hearing on my left side and my exercise options changed dramatically. Can't do the aerobics because I can't move fast enough or stand on one. Got plantar fasciitis from water aerobics. Treadmill, elliptical, and stair master are out because of balance issues. Have always hated the stationary bike and have never been much of a swimmer. Walking outside is a challenge because of hills. What I love to do is tread water or run in place in the water but it's hard to find a gym where I can do that without getting in the way of the swimmers. I keep hoping, though.
