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!

Me, I didn't get in two 3o min walks yesterday, but I did get one in, and my weigh in was perfect, stomach surgery weight loss steady. Let's keep going!
So this week I decide to make a commitment of exercise daily again. Which doesn’t look anything like it did 3 years ago. I’m doing a pretty healthy length walk around 4-6 miles on hilly terrain. Then dumbbell strength training with a total body focus for 30 minutes. I’m tempted to throw swimming in the mix at some point.
The degradation of my physical conditioning is yet another brutal reality of this for me.
