Walk a Day

Rizen

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!

The only thing I got out of the house for at all today was for a walk on my cane, Rizen, and it was because I thought of what I'd get to post about it here if I did. So thanks for that. It's my fourth day of walking in a row now.

Hope your doctor's appointment went well this morning, Rizen!

Yesterday summer school started and I'm teaching it. Result--I didn't take time to walk, I was too busy. It showed at bedtime, I had insomnia. Walking helps so much.

I had my medicine dose raised.
Today I hiked 3.1 miles with a meetup group, who ended up only being 1 other person. It's nice when there are meetups that don't revolve around bars and drinking.

Too busy again today...argh. So glad you still did it, and not alone, either. Way to go, Rizen. Hope I can do it tomorrow!

After getting computer scammed in the late afternoon, it took all evening to change all of the passwords on my bank account and credit cards. So it was 10:30pm before I could even think of leaving the house. My city's not that safe, so I decided to go to the only safe place open that late to walk: my city's biggest supermarket.

It helped my frame of mind to walk two loops around inside the whole building. It walked off some of the anxiety from having those computer scammers lie to me and then ruin my computer for no good reason. Hope I can get an outdoors walk in today and walk some more of that off.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
