exercise more

My plan is going rather well so far. It’s not perfect, I’ve slipped up a lot, but I figure that I’m doing something and that is a good start.

My plan is to walk a half hour each morning when I wake up and to walk another half hour sometime after dinner. I plan to eat light meals and eat much more fruit and vegetables.

I have lost some weight, but I don’t know how much. Each scale I’ve ever used is different! I guess I should focus on the importance of being healthy and not weight necessarily, but it’s hard not to. I want to look perfect! This is a problem for me because I don’t know what my perfect is.

Anyway, bought a pedometor to help in the process and to try and reach 10,000 steps a day. Problem with it is, if I barely move sometimes it counts as a step. At least it is fairly accurate. I imagine once I get on campus again this fall it will be easier to get to the 10,000 steps!

Any other fitness ideas I can incorporate? Walking seems to be the best and easiest form for me. Do you know any other easy ways to start toning muscle? I hate all situp related activities because my back. Any ideas? Thanks!

I used to try and force myself to jog, but I realized I need to wrok up to something! I’ve started walking each day, or AT LEAST, every other day. I’m trying to get in at least a half hour walk each day in order to feel good about myself.

This fall, I plan to join an aerobics class that meets each day. Hopefully I will force myself to go and stay active.

Has anyone found that an exercise buddy helps? In the past, I’ve found that they always back out on me and I feel discouraged and quit. Should I attempt to get one or do it on my own?
