Hello Kittenpower,
Congrats on dedicating yourself to exercise again.
I can tell you from experience, it will be great if you can make it a well-integrated part of your life now.
I don't want to make assumptions, but if SRS is in the future, it -may- get much harder to keep weight off in subsequent years. I had a three-year window post-SRS where everything hormonally and metabolically was perfect. After that, it got harder and harder for me to keep off the weight. It's been my observation that I am not alone in this experience.
Without knowing what part of the world you are in, maybe these won't apply, but I have a few ideas that may be heathy, fun, and compatible with where you are in our journey.
1) How about hiking (I mean workin it!) in the woods? We can have some modesty in the shade, there aren't many people, and good wardrobe selection can make for a good workout without the emotional and physical discomfort.
2) Branching off of #1, foraging in the woods is a popular new trend where I live. I didn't even know this was a 'thing', but it turns out that it can be fun, and a good workout to forage for fiddleheads and berries and mushrooms. Proper education with regard to identification is a must, of course.
3) What about Sea Kayaking? With this, you wear a bib kind of thing that seals you into your kayak. Paddling can be as intense an exercise as any I've found, and modesty can be preserved without holding back. You can even fish from a kayak now!
4) For at home, resistance tubing can be good for helping to maintain tone, and is 'Orange is the New Black' compatible:)
These are just a few ideas. They may not all apply, but my intent is to be supportive and share ideas that may help.
Who else has ideas for good exercise?
