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!

For me it's been a month now that I've had an ankle sprain keep me from walking. I went to my doctor yesterday and he had an x-ray done. He's planning to refer me to an orthopedist, too, so we can get me walking again. I'll be teaching classes when school starts on Monday, and I don't want to be back on crutches in class.
I see that foot specialist on Thursday. Maybe then I'll get back on the road to a walk a day.
The foot specialist said x-rays showed no break. He gave me a new bigger brace to wear, and said he'd refer me to have insurance pay for some special kind of shoes to be custom made for me to be able to walk in. Hopefully, we're getting there....
