Weight loss advice while being partial disabled?
Ok, here's good one for every out there. And, please, no rude comments, as this is a serious question. I am diabetic, (this is under control), I watch what I eat, I weigh it, I measure it, I log it, my sugar, cholesterol etc is all down according to my last Dr. apt. However, my weight has stalled. I am partial disabled and am home-bound pretty much all the time. I am unable to walk much, so I ride an indoor bike for exercise. Any suggestions on what else I could do to lose the extra weight. I have limited control on my left side and limited feeling on both sides. Hope that's enough info! Thanks in advance! Oh, I also do exercises that I got from physical therapy to help keep as limber as possible every day.
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I need ideas for things that I can do at home as I really don't have a way to get out and about. I would really, really, love to swim though! Great idea! I wish it was feasible!
That's great that you're following through with the exercises provided by physical therapy as I was going to suggest consulting with a PT about a rather safe exercise plan. It can only be of a benefit if you did get a physical activity plan tailored to your needs though especially since it sounds as though you physical limitations with the left side as well as some numbness or both sides. One would have to pay particular attention to where their body is while doing activity as to not overdo it or lose one's balance.
