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...

This weekend is the unofficial start of the Summer so... let's compile the greatest summer themed playlist! Add songs that makes references to the season itself or anything attributed with the summer like dealing with the heat, going to the beach, having fun in the sun, water sports, barbecues, kids being out of school, going on vacations, et al.
It would be nice of along with the total minutes, each one of us posts her/his goal for the week and their daily progress towards it. The week's goal should be a small achievable one. Of course I know that our long-term goal (all of us)) is to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain great shape and health.
Hope to get at least 250 minutes total for the week last week I only did 205 minutes because Saturday I sat on my assets and did not exercise. I won't let that happen this week.
I did 60 minutes of cardio today. I just want to get back into the work out routine this week.
Monday: 45 minutes on elipitcal; 15 minutes weights
Total so far: 165 minutes

I walked for an hour and a half this morning. Will walk for another 30 min this evening and will practise on my bike.

I'm not losing the 2 pounds I wanted to but it's OK. I know I'm not doing anything wrong so it might be just a matter of time. I'm enjoying being active and cooking alot. I hope everyone is doing great.
