I've been trying to change my daily schedule and fit in things that will refresh me mentally and emotionally. I want to wake up early and go for a run or walk, but that's not working out cuz of all the meds. I started a 5 month exercise program to lose a lot of weight. I'm also trying to finish school. And I'm wondering if all this can refresh me and help me to 'reinvent' the person i am deep inside. Any tips or thoughts? -offbalance

I think creating an exercise program can really help, if that's what you're asking?

Even if you just start with a 30 minute walk each day, something achievable. Best luck x

Just try one thing. I dont know how much you want to take off. You coulf start by lining up 6 glasses of 8 oz of water per day and downing thse thr u the day for two weeks and then continue. Then start walking 15 minutes out and 15 back. Depend on how heavy you are. Give yourself small goals. Try to liminit sugar and then stop eating sugar. Or at least sugar that isn't listed down to the 5th listing. Watch out for fuctose and othe ostes !

Good luck
