Exercise with a Pacemaker

So I feel fat!!!

Not getting much exercise before and since having the PM. I'm currently a size 14. I used to be a nice size 10 top half and a size 12 bottom half. Now though, I have a nice belly which looks like I have a shelf, this is down to the two C sections I have had. I so wish that the hospital could sort this problem out, a nice tummy tuck at the same time, that would be nice.

I have been told that now I have had my 6 week check up for the PM I can get back to normal exercise. But what is normal these days. As we all know the country has and obesity epidemic. Going by my current BMI, body mass index, I am in the over weight category. Only just but I am over weight.

Now back to the exercise problem!

The only exercise that I have been doing is the school run. Most of the time the school run consists of fast power walking, pushing my sons buggy, to my daughters school in the morning and a slow walk back home. Then another fast ish walk, dragging my son who insists on walking, to pick her up at lunch time and another slow walk back home for lunch. Other than that the odd walk into town is all the exercise I do.

Must try to do more but what?

Swimming is out as the open air pool is only open from May till the first week of September. The nearest indoor pool is a fun pool so lane swimming is out.

Running is another option but with the nights getting darker and with my husband getting back from work when it's dark outside, I have no one to look after the children, while it is still light. Which would only leave the weekend and that's family time.

Joining a Gym is also out as I have no extra money for the extortionate fees you have to pay them. I did join one once when I had no children and a full time job. But even then it was costing £60+ per month and they didn't even have a pool.

So for the moment it's the school run and the Wii Fit for me.
