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 back.
Walking greatly improves my mental health too. I'm feeling less irritable and depressed after walking.
I want this to be a support thread for people who exercise and eat healthy so if you do any of that post here!

Yay, Rizen, you stay consistent! I'm proud to say that I did get out there and have a long, good walk last night, too.
Rizen
Feeling depressed. I walked half a mile today.

Sorry you feel that way, Rizen. Yet you walked anyway, good for you. Me, I walked, too. I used my cane, though. Still, walking with a cane is better than not walking at all, right?

I actually got a walk in yesterday, even though I had more physical pain walking than I'd had in a while. My neighbor walked with me, though, for which I'm grateful because that made it happen--support.

I forgot to post but I walked a mile thursday, 2.1 miles yesterday and 2.1 miles today. I feel like I'm the product of multiple tragedies. I don't like how my life ended up.
Rizen
I hiked 4.4 miles today.

I can't believe you forgot to post but you'd walked, Rizen, that's not like you. Not to post, I mean, because you walk every single day. Sorry you don't like how your life ended up. Hope to be more like you in that walking way,though. I worked all day today so I didn't walk. When I got home I just crashed. Hoping to walk tomorrow.
Rizen
Thanks Mujica. I walked 2 miles tonight.

I got a walk in yesterday, too. With a friend and without a cane!
Rizen
Good for you mujica. I walked 2.1 miles to my mom's place.
mujicaptsd
I got another walk in yesterday, too.
Rizen
I walked 1 mile. Feeling angry.
Rizen
Walked a mile, lot of anxiety tonight.

Did a lot of walking around the hospital yesterday because it was my day for doctors' appointments. Hope to walk again today, but in a place more pleasant.
