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!

I only did one walk yesterday because it turned freezing cold here all of a sudden. Brr.
Rizen
I walked 3 miles today.

Muji, Do you have snow there yet? Rizen great job.
mujicaptsd
No snow, but it is raw cold, with a mountain wind that cuts through you. That's one reason why I've shifted my walking to day time lately. I got two walks in yesterday!
Rizen
I walked 3 miles.

Good for you, Rizen! I did 3 walks--count 'em: THREE--yesterday, and they did me lots of good in mind, body, and spirit. Plus I kept my weight loss stable, too, at still 110 pounds lost and kept off 2 years after weight loss stomach surgery. YAY!
Rizen
I walked 2 miles today. It's cold again.

2 is good, Rizen, when the weather's not on your side. It was raw cold here until yesterday when it warmed up all of a sudden. I was thoroughly tired, but I still got 2 full walks in. It's kept the weight loss steady once again. Hope it warms up again where you are.

Two miles is great, Rizen. I am at my Dad’s home for a few days celebrating his 80th birthday. He and my Step mom were just tested for COVID, and I have quarantined for weeks. Muji, I hope you can get some rest between you busy schedule at school and sermons.

It's a busy time of year, true, but Thanksgiving break's on the horizon, so relief is at hand. I still got 2 walks in yesterday, switching to getting them in during daylight when it's a little warmer now that wintry cold weather's here in Appalachia where I live. Hoping for the same today, too.
Rizen
I walked 3 miles today and yesterday.
Secouya
Fantastic Rizen! Keep up the good work. You too Muji.

All 3, Rizen. Yay! Yay for me, too, I got two whole walks in myself! Paid off, too, on the scales keeping my weight loss surgery weight steady once again. :-)
