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 ended last night with an hour of stretching and today did 20 seconds of wall sit!
I am hoping to do another hour of stretching tonight and tomorrow will be 30 seconds of wall sit and hopefully an hour grooming my horse... here is hoping that I get a ride to go see him!!!
I only walked a mile tonight because most surfaces were covered in black ice.
Today I'm getting stuck into tidying up boxes from my most recent move... in a three storey house... that will mean a LOT of up, down, UP, down, arghhh UP, down... rofl
We then stopped at three different stores looking for a present for hubby. Those I just used my dog and her harness for balance.
I also did my 40 seconds of wall sit. I missed doing the 30 seconds yesterday, oh well. I am heading to bed, but once in bed I will do about half an hour of stretching.
Slowly but surely, I will improve!!
I'm feeling mildly depressed, lonely and irritable today :/
2hrs north of you ... same deal. I got all bundled up ... got the dog all bundled up ... but never got out of the neighborhood. We try to go for 90 minutes, but barely made 30.
Should be sunny tomorrow. The old "solar plows" should melt most of it off.
Let's hope you start feeling better, and can get out for a longer walk, soon.
I walked a little over a mile tonight. It's hard to walk with all this ice and snow.
It's -4 degrees f out so I paced around in my apartment while talking on the phone for over an hour. I don't like to sit still. I probably walked about a mile.
