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!

Still eating low carb, happy with the results.
Yeah, it's very hilly, beautiful mountains 7,000 feet above sea level. 2,000 feet higher than Denver, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. I did 2 walks today, one on each of this lovely city's crowded, fun long pedestrian streets. I'm doing the low carb thing, too, and it works, yeah.
Muji, happy to hear you are back in Mexico! Is it hot? I know you are experiencing rain. Must be humid?
Rizen, hope you are doing ok and hanging in there. I know how hard it is to take care of a sick parent. Just love and spend as much time as you can with your mom.
Loo, sounds like you have quite a trek up and down hills. I too am following a low carb diet, but maybe not this week. My step-mom loves to cook.
No, where I am in Mexico is a rare mountain city of 200,000 that isn't hot at all. Only 1 hour away is a bigger city of 1.2 million that's down the mountain in the tropics and so hot I couldn't live there. Here, though, it's 70 degrees Fahrenheit year round. It's the rainy season we're in now that makes you pay for that lovely temperature, but it'll end in September. Meanwhile, it's great to be cool.
Speaking of the rain, it did let up yesterday enough for me to get a good walk in. I'm learning to work in my walks around the daily rain storms here. Hope to do that again today.
I see that it has gotten quite out of hand, so will keep this brief.
Just want to recommend that you check out a group called Fitness Goals that I belong to as well. Maybe a post like this will serve that group well too, and we sure need more regular posters there like us too.
Hope to see you there too!
Peace and love, be gentle and good to yourself always.
Anybody else here interested in fitness, please consider posting there about fitness. I belong to that group and we need more posters there too!
