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 have a daily goal of walking 3km per day on my cane so I can stay out of the wheelchair I´ve ended up in twice this year. Earlier this week I had a couple of days when I couldn´t walk at all, so yesterday I made up for that with an extra half day´s distance added to the day. I walked 4.45km. It was tough, it did hurt with my CKD neuropathy pain from that PTSD meds overdose from a bad pdoc. But it´s keeping me out of a wheelchair.

Somehow I got 3.33km of walking in today. To be honest, I really had to lean hard on my cane and it hurt. But it got done, and I'm proud. No wheelchair for me.
Rizen
I pulled weeds for 2 hours the other day and walked 3 miles today.

So glad you got 3 miles in Rizen. Me, I'm glad I walked extra beyond my daily 3km goal because today was one of those days when I couldn't walk, not even on a cane. But I'm keeping up my weekly 3km average and looking forward with hope to walk tomorrow.

I got 3.11km walked after all today. I walked the first half during the morning and it really hurt. But somehow when I walked the other half in the afternoon it was easier. Nice! So good for my PTSD.

I'm in Guatemala for a day so as to renew my6 month visa, y'all. If somebody could send Suncloud a hug for me today I would appreciate it. I can't from where I am right now. Gracias.

I only got 1.15km of walking in yesterday, mostly in airports. Hope to get back to it today now that I'm home from Guatemala and back in Mexico.
Rizen
I walked a mile on two different days and hiked up a mountain today.

Nice hiking, Rizen, and up a mountain no less. THere's been no walking for me for 2 days now, but I'm hoping to meet my daily 3km goal today nonetheless. Fingers crossed.

I did it! :-) I walked 3.34km yesterday, exceeding my daily walking goal of 3km. It feels good for my PTSD.

I only got 1.71km walking in yesterday, only a bit beyond halfway to my daily 3km goal. I hope I can get it up to 2km today, if not all the way up to my 3km goal.

I couldn't walk today. I had to care for a friend who came down very ill today. He doesn't speak Spanish, so getting him to a doctor and translating for him, then filling his prescriptions and translating at the pharmacy took up all of my day. I hope to walk tomorrow.

I was only able to get 0.78km walked today, nowhere near my daily 3km goal. But it was the best that I could do, and it wasn't nothing. Hope for 3 tomorrow.
