Sure thing. I need motivation as well to keep on my diet. I'll ask you if you excercized, you can ask if I stayed in my calorie limit.

what kind of exercise? body, mind, soul? i need all of the above. what kind of physical exercise? i want to try a punching bag... lol :O)

I will be happy to help inquire of your daily exercise program. On November 01, when I see my Neurosurgeon and he releases me, I to work out three days a week (M,W, and F,) at our local YMCA. I'm in a low water arthritic aerobics class. So, if all goes well we can motivate each other. In the mean time I'm still be happy check on you if you like.

Okay I've sent out hugs. My walking and weight training will resume tomorrow.
I need a time for the calorie limit.
The challenge is back on

I shall quite eating after 9:00 p.m. Believe me that will be hard as I'm a night owl, and often stay up till 1:00 a.m. or later.

Dear SeekingPeace: I would love to be your exercise buddy as I got "abandonned" also. I gained 50# in weight on a combination of Zyprexa and Seroquel. I tried every diet and program known to man but nothing was shifting the weight that has settled around my abdomen. Then a gym opened 5 minutes from my house so I went and signed up which got me 20 sessions with a personal trainer. I work with him 3 days a week, cardio and weights The gym also offers yoga and an aqua aerobics class (amongst other things) It is totally the best thing I've ever done. I haven't seen a dramatic weight loss but my whole attitude is so much more positive and energized. I work out most days so how would you like the support to be?

Sincerely,

Lizzie

Physical exercise is manual activity that develops or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is often practiced to strengthen muscles and the cardiovascular system, and to hone athletic skills. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases of affluence such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity.[1][2] It is also improves mental health and helps prevent depression.

Types of exercise

Exercises are generally grouped into three types depending on the overall effect they have on the human body:

Flexibility exercises such as stretching improve the range of motion of muscles and joints.[3] Aerobic exercises such as cycling, walking, running, hiking, and playing tennis focus on increasing cardiovascular endurance.[4] Anaerobic exercises such as weight training, functional training or sprinting increase short-term muscle strength.[5]
Breathing

Active exhalation during physical exercise helps the body to increase its maximum lung capacity, and oxygen uptake. This results in greater cardiac efficiency, since the heart has to do less work to oxygenate the muscles, and there is also increased muscular efficiency through greater blood flow. Consciously breathing deeply during aerobic exercise helps this development of the heart lung efficiency.[25]
