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 had a friend notice today that my waistline has shrunk a little from all of this walking, too. So I'm keeping the 110lbs I lost off, and then some, huh? I had to cut two more holes in my belt so I could pull it tighter. Nice problem for me to have.
It did hurt to walk tonight, though, even with my cane. My herniated disk in my lower back did a lot of barking. Hope it lets up, because last night it didn't hurt like that.
I got it from seeing my mom at a rehabilitation center where she was getting physical therapy. First she was in the hospital, then they sent her to the rehab center, now she's back in the hospital. She hasn't been home in 2 months; I'm taking care of her cat. It's been really stressful. She's doing alright and keeps getting better.
