How to be more physically active
It made me
 "Not always easy, but definitely worth it."
How I did it: Just to get up and do it. Worked with an Occupational Therapist to help me set the goals and keep me motivated to accomplish them. Starting off small and building...it's unrealistic to be able to walk an hour if you don't typically even get up from in front of the computer most days. Start with 5-10 minutes 3 days a week and build from there. Lessons & tips: Set out some small goals to start....even if it's just 5-10 minutes 2 or 3 times a week to start that's better then not doing it at all. Resources: Having an Occupational Therapist definitely helped me with this. Together we came up with different goals and because I had someone to be accountable to it helped keep me motivated. |

It made me
energized
How I did it: One day I was home on a day off and had nothing to do. I have a gym membership that I pay for monthly and never use. so i decided to call them up and get the trainer's schedule and he was there that day. So i made an appointment and got in there. He showed me the ropes and I feel at ease with the machines now. after working out, i got an incredible high! I felt like I was walking on air!!! Read how I did it…

well i have been more active last month not by going to the gym or what not but playing tennis with my sis and frisbee…and when I say frisbee I mean “frisbee” where yer actually running and diving after the thing instead of stand there and hoping it would come to you lol
This weeks been really good actually…
I make sure to walk my dog everyday instead of my parents.
I go biking and take walks in the trails of the park.
I feel happy about my “weely” progress, it’s been
consistent and I am proud of myself.
Let me shine within the darkness that is confined in the mind~

I’m not good at motivating myself to exercise but really want to spend less time sitting on the sofa watching TV! I want to go on more walks and aim to go on at least one per week.

I just want to get out there and experience different things. I want to box, horseback ride, and play tennis. I’m not really into sports, but why not?

over the years I haven’t been as physically active as I’d like to be. Well it wasn’t consistent. When I think of being physically active I think of strenuous exercise, so then I let it slide and don’t do s*t…I’m tired to doing less than minimal to get by. I want to feel good about my body, my choices, my lifestyle.
Someone wrote an entry about planning activities. I never considered that or followed through is more like it.
I would love to join a volleyball team…go swimming, doing laps in the morning, bellydancing…let’s see where this all goes.

yay started being more active – not sure how long it will last mind.. but it’s a start. Gym 2-3 times a week, and swimming once a week plus the occasional exercises at home as it can’t be any more convenient than that!
