My husband has a lot of anxiety with the emphysema. When he gets up moves around, he gets anxiety very bad. Do any of you take medicine for this? I was thinking of zanax for him.

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...
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.
