I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
my tip: do 1 thing today the will help you get what you want. (if its weight loss read my frozen water tip.) Take baby steps, 1 - 2 things a day. Suddenly it will be a routine, then do another step.
