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!

Yesterday we broke down just outside of Mexico, due mainly to the fact that we more than overloaded the truck with Mom's Mexican Bricks. That being said I walked just under 3 miles yesterday. Today I didn't walk but I did move more than 1000 bricks from one place to another. Now that was a workout!!

I walked double yesterday so I just met my daily 1km goal today walking 1.1km. It felt great for my PTSD.
Rizen
I walked 3 miles this week.

Nice going,Rizen, especially as cold as you say it's been lately. Me, I walked 1.1km, exceeding that daily 1km goal of mine again. Taking my dog Bonita walking with me really helps motivate me. Walking is great for my PTSD every time.

1.7km today, staying out of that wheelchair! :-)

I woke up with bad CKD neuropathy pain that lasted all morning. It's a wonder that I walked 1.2km today this evening. I'm reassured that doing so will help keep me out if thst wheelchair. :-)

It was a grocery shopping day for me at the local mall, so I walked a whopping 4.65km today, I'm proud to say. Way, way out of last year's wheelchair! :-)

I got 1.3km in walking today. Wow, the weather was perfect out: sunny, 75 degrees, just swell. So glad I can WALK to enjoy it all.

It was hard but I got out with my lovely dog Bonita for a 1.3km walk. It was lovely out and just as lovely to be outside in such a beautiful day. I'm grateful.
Rizen
I walked a mile this week but I also moved to a new apartment so I got a lot of exercise.

Congrats on the new place, Rizen! I've walked at least 1km a day now for 213 days. Let's keep it up!
Rizen
I walked/hiked about 5 miles this week.

Hey yall. I took a hiatus from ds for a couple of weeks or more. I thought I was going to just leave ds because it's been so slow. I have been journaling in a notebook but since I don't carry it with me, it's been inconvenient. So I apologize if I caused anyone to worry about my absence but I'm back and will be updating my journals again as I have time :)
