I don’t have my own personal electric cart, but for some years I’ve been using the ones that various grocery stores and big box stores have available, until the past year or so. I’ve lost about 40% of my excess weight, and I’ve been slowly building up stamina. At first, I just walked in the regular shops and grocery stores. But I’ve shopped in a big box megastore twice this week, covering most of the store each time, and both times I’ve been able to do it under my own power. I haven’t set any speed records, but I made it without an electric cart.
This might seem like a little thing, but it’s a big thing to me. My doctor was ready to prescribe a power chair for me a few years ago, but I’ve been able to lose a lot of weight, and build up my stamina.
A lot of people would have taken the easy way out. Kudos to you for sticking with something difficult–with what are probably great health benefits for you (plus mobility!).
