Help with Lifestyle change

7 years ago

Hello again
I have been here a few times and love, I may have found my new home and family too.
I am 466lbs, and need to change, I have been looking for a pool to excersise in everyday, but so far in the Mixico area, San Kris Mall I tried 4 area pools, and they did not have it to where I could get in and out it was made for normal people. The Aquatic therapy is vital to my beginning this lifestyle change, so that my body can get used to the actual movements need to eventually get out of the pool and do simple things, such as walk and minor exercise's. ( YES I AM IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE, BUT AM NOT A QUITTER AND HAVE SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT HERE, IF I CAN ONLY FIND A POOL TO BEGIN).

Not sure my options as I have a place to live, but no pool, I live behind San Kris Mall, in Mixico area.
1. Find a new Colonia that has a pool with steps and a rail to hold on to, possibly here or Antigua. If I have to go this route, I would only want to do a 3 month lease, and hopefuly be able then to come back here and walk and do minor excersise with my new family. Is that possible without to much expense?

Also where would a great place to find an adjustable bed, and maybe a few pieces of furniture, like a sturdy chair , a stool/bench to sit outside. while I am here at this colonia.

If anyone has done this lifestyle change feel free to contact me as I would love to hear how you did, and your process, this is my only life mission currently, because , well it is obivious if I do not change I will not be around too long, and that would be... sad!

Thank you all
Patrick
