 Sluggish Legs
Hello all, I'm new the boards and looking for help.
I've always been fat. I gained 80 lbs the year I turned 12. Docs chalked it up to hormones and genetics. Turned out it was thyroid cancer that wasn't caught until I was 23. Slow growing. No worries that was 16 years ago.
My meds are under control for the first time. 2 years ago I was about to lose about 40 lbs just walking. The I had some issues that required surgery.
Now Im exercising again. I walk almost every morning ..unless I want to give up more sleep I have to stick to a mile time wise. Then I come home and do Richard Simmon's project hope. I'm on the first disk.
Here's my question: When I walk for exercise, my legs hurt and are so sluggish its like working through Jello. I thought I needed to warm up better, so I actually switched and did the cardio first---same results even though I should have been plenty warm. If I push, the 2nd mile is sometimes better, sometimes its the 3rd, and sometimes it just doesnt.
Sitting for a few minutes helps, which I dont get. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on?
