Second day in a row of "real" exercise. Yesterday, I walked 1/4 of a mile (didn't do more, because I was wearing a backless sneaker, and with the uneven terrain, I was kinda unstable). Today, I wore proper shoes, and I walked 6/10 of a mile in 15 minutes. Not gonna win any records, but I'm making progress. @BeckyBaby65too inspired me yesterday by saying that she used to walk 5K's, and I realized that I could do that, too, just not all at one time! At my current rate of speed, I should be able to get it in easily within two WEEKS. Hey, it's better than NOT walking (which is what I "usually" do). Today, I listened to "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrnes while I walked. Got my motivation and physical exercise both checked off in one fell swoop. Making progress!

@freezyswavy, I find that just TALKING to people on here about exercising helps to motivate me! I wouldn't say I feel "great" yet, @binkytexas, but I'm pretty proud of myself for at least getting out there. Wouldn't it be amazing if this was the year I actually began to LIKE exercising!!!

Thank you, @ashleyrestani. I'm so grateful that the Lord has given me the motivation I needed to get back on track. It's been a LONG time OFF the wagon, and it feels really good to be back ON again instead of just watching other people gallop past.

Exercise is so important not only weight control but mental health. Get a group of friends or neighbors together to meet up and walk. Debbie Cousins, I think your husband is a minister, start a “walking” crew of parents and their kids, young teens and older adults. Make it a church goal to see how many pounds you can collectively lose by summer or Christmas. Talk, socialize, help the kids build good habits. You have to make any type of exercise enjoyable some how or you won’t stick with it. Exercise is usually the number 1 thing that is suggested to treat almost any malady including depression and other mental health issues. Simple walking actually changes your brain chemistry.

And we're at that time of the dark winter where our brain chemistry needs all the help it can get!
