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 walked 2 miles this morning but didn't feel like moving yesterday from depression. Today I was really mad at this egotistic con artist but it's better than being depressed. I've been doing terrible lately.
I have always enjoyed exercise but when I get hurt, I wind up taking a very, very long break - like months or even years!
I was diagnosed with high blood pressure last October(ish) so have been working on it since. Just got back into exercising. Starting with 3 days a week walking in the pool for 30 minutes. Want to work up to 1 hour a day of walking, swimming and weights as well as other sorts of exercise like gardening, WII sports and doing things with friends.
Congrats to everyone who is eating healthfully and exercising. You're an inspiration to those of us just getting started!
I walked 5 miles today (according to the trail markers).
