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!

Good for you for getting out there for one mile, Rizen. I got 2 miles in, and next time you can get back to two, too.

Not feeling well today, a little tired with the Chronic Kidney Disease I got years ago when overprescribed Seroquel for my PTSD ignoring my diabetes. I may not walk today. We'll see.

I did get 2.4km in walking even with CKD tiring me out. Hope I can get back to 3-5km in the next couple of days.

I did get back to 3-5km walked yesterday just as I hoped to! I got 5.2km in! Yay!

I got 3.2 km in yesterday! In that 3-5km range again, even though for some reason it was a tougher CKD neuropathy pain day than most. Today the pain's less, so that'll be good for walking again.

3.7 km walking this time. More than the 3.2 km before! :-)

I got 3.5km walked yesterday, and in my weigh in I saw that walking is not only keeping my weight off after my bariatric weight loss surgery--I lost a kilo! Yay!
Rizen
I haven't been doing very well but I walked a mile today and Tuesday.

Sorry you're not doing very well, Rizen. Glad you're walking, though. I am, too: 3.3km again. Hoping you start feeling better.

I walked 2-3 miles today.

I don't know what got into me today but I went from walking 3.3km to walking 5.5km today. Feels good!

6km this time! I don't know what got into me, but I like it. And it was a miserable rainy day for walking, too. Feels good to get it done. It's really keeping the weight off from stomach surgery, too.

I walked 2-3 miles again.
