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 made it again to the low end of the range of my 3-5km goal, Rizen, but it's great that I did on such a busy day. How's it going for you?
Rizen
I walked 2 miles today.

Congrats, Rizen! I walked 4.1km!

You Guys Rock!!.. I need to meet up with you for a mile or so!
mujicaptsd
Thanks SC, it's nice to have your affirmation! Yesterday I got 3.6km in walking. Feels good!
Rizen
I walked about a mile and a half.
mujicaptsd
I got 3.4km walked yesterday, and I had less Chronic Kidney disease neuropathy pain from my doctor's overdose of PTSD meds than I'd had in a long time. Yay!
Rizen
I'm feeling depressed but I managed to walk a mile.
mujicaptsd
Glad you still walked even when depressed, Rizen. Sending you support to do it again if need be. I walked 3.2km, I'm proud to say! :-)

I had to go back out and do a little extra walking around my block to get the last bit of walking in for the day, but I did clock 3.1km yesterday, so I hit my 3.-5km range of daily walking again. Yay!
mujicaptsd
Wow, I got a whole 4.5km of walking in yesterday. I didn't even feel the effort, either. YAY!
Rizen
I walked 2 miles 2 days ago and a mile today.
mujicaptsd
Good walking, Rizen! My daily goal is 3-5km daily on my cane, and yesterday I exceed it by walking 5.5km! YAY!
mujicaptsd
I won't go into it all, but trust me when I say I had a weird day yesterday. I still got 3.2km walking in so I met my daily goal of between 3 to 5 km even on a weird day. YAY!
mujicaptsd
I bounced back and got 5km walking in the next day. YAY!

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
