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 helped my mom move 2 days ago and hiked 2 miles yesterday.
i really like that lap desk, Rizen - i need to adjust everything to more ergonomic. whew.
so great all the hiking and exercise going on! Yay, Muji!! and Beatha too going to archery ^^, that sounds fun, but i bet it is hard work to learn it.
hugs all, i can't wait til i can do more physically with you guys!
I walked 3 miles from where my mom is staying while her apt is renovated to my home.
I admire your perseverance, Rizen. I feel encouraged to keep trying..
I admire your courage, Muji. The gym would be terrifying for me.
Thank you for this thread.
Thanks, Beatha. I made it to the gym last night for the 3rd time of 3 expected of me this week, so tonight and tomorrow can be extra workouts now, like last week. If I go after 9pm I skip being around the "gymtimidators," I've found, and have a more comfortable time. Ironically, the biggest gymtimidator is the official trainer herself. However, the other desk staff are super nice to. One of them is a former student of mine at my community college.
I've started to do that yoga form in the morning, I think it's called "sun salutation" in english. Surprised at how hard it has become...
*sigh* at least I'm trying to do something.
