How to exercise
It made me
 "Accept it won't be easy."
How I did it: In the past, I would try to exercise, it would hurt, I would itch all over from poor circulation and then I would stop. for 1 week I did nothing but stroll for 15 minutes. I increased to 20 minutes at a 2 miles an hour pace. The third week I did it for 30 minutes. The 4th and 5th week I added some interval jogging. I also did some laps at a pool sporadically to help out as well. I still have a long way to go but I am 20 pounds lighter and have a lot more energy! Lessons & tips: I think I am best at encouragement. I mean, I was almost 300 pounds, and if I can exercise anyone can!

Wow 
How I did it: I started training for a triathalon. I realized that imagining myself cross the finish line OR how humiliated I would be if I started dying before I finished is the greatest motivator I could find! I've been regularly swimming, running (which is still very hard for me) and biking for 12 months now. This has helped me maintain a weightloss of about 30 lbs for the last year and a half.

How I did it: I joined a gym and started to go for 20 minutes a day. I would do cardio for 10 and then lift weights for 10. Every day I would increase each a little until I was there for an hour or more every day. Read how I did it…

Accomplished
How I did it: I exercised intermittently last year, then I spent the fall in Europe in which I walked at least three miles a day just to get to the university. When I got home, I decided that I needed to maintain some sort of exercise plan here at home, and I picked January first as a good day to get started. I began by simply walking as I had done in Europe for fifteen minutes a day the first week and then half an hour the next. When… Read how I did it…

It made me
very very happy
How I did it: I aimed to simply get the the pool, gym, on the bike or prepare for a walk. This provided me with the habit of thinking about it and taking the first small step, which I congratulated myself for doing. Read how I did it…

New running shoes
1 week ago
I had a gait analysis done and it shows that I’m a neutral runner. Turns out the shoes I’ve been wearing for the past half a year (Asics gel kayano) are wrong for me and possible to blame for my nagging hip pain. I only went into have the analysis done and try on some shoes and then I was going to order them online (this is how we shop in Ireland, or rip off republic, these days, lol). However, they had a nice pair on sale, 50% off, quick check online on hubby’s iphone confirmed it was a good deal and I just bought them. I’m so happy! Can’t wait to try them tomorrow. They look so much nicer than my old shoes, which makes me smile because my old shoes were a yucky colour.
I really wanted to try the chi running shoes to see how they feel. They look nice :).

Aerobic importance
1 week ago
I’ve been feeling off-balance lately, and Frog reminded me that almost all of the exercise I’ve been doing lately has been non-aerobic.
I think he may be on to something: I probably don’t benefit from the same endorphins and seretonin increase when I’m not doing aerobic exercise.
I’ll have to make sure to work some of that into my schedule.
