I've been going on my daily winter walks,

I have been going for longer and longer winter walks, with two 3lbs weights in each hand, swinging my arms back and forth opposite to each step...I feel it in my ribs, I feel it in my hips, arms and calves and even neck! It's great! I will continue to increase how many blocks I walk, adding another block each week, and in March I plan to increase my weights to 5 lbs instead of 3 lbs! I'm just doing it! Be it cold or not! And if I miss a day, I will jump onto my elliptical and do my SIT routine which is giving it my all for a minute, then resting for a minute, then giving it my all again, and repeating that for a few sets until I'm like jelly. It's supposed to be just as good as a 45 minute workout! I am also taking my vitamins a multivitamin, a D vitamin and a hair skin and nails vitamin, and I am drinking detox tea, skinny tea, and immune tea, and trying to eat healthier! And sleep better, I also take meletonin each night to fall asleep...Oh I also do a bunch of different sets with the 3 lbs weights at night and do 3o reps and 5 different workouts with the weights until I can't do another...I'm very happy with myself, well at least the effort I'm putting forth, I'm not yet happy about my weight or body shape, at the moment but all of that will take consistancy and time if going at the rate that I'm going! I'll do good!

That's amazing. The schedule of yours about your journey of being fit is very inspiring.

I mean I just go to bed after devouring my meal like a python 馃槀 I have weights and dumbbells which are just underneath my bed, rusting. 馃槀

@StrugglingSoul Grab them the lightest dumbells out from under your bed and put them up where you can see them.....And every night do like 5-6 different sets of 20-30 reps. I eat a bedtime snack as well like a bowl of rice crispies or an apple, I try to have a nice light snack...to help settle my stomach before bed. We shouldn't be too hard on ourselves, every little bit helps, I would encourage you to pull out the lightest dumbells and get started this week, just for the fun of it, the health benefits and it might grow into other fitness endevours! You've got this!
@saintsong thanks, I'll do it for sure 馃槉

@StrugglingSoul That would be nice! Then once you've got into the swing of things, it just get's easier. Like second nature!
@saintsong yes, I know. You know the tricky part is being consistent, being, regular, and being disciplined about it.

@StrugglingSoul I know right!? I've been there before, and gave up...But... There's something different this time, I don't know I sometimes wonder if it's the vitamins??? But I have this energy even if I don't feel like it I pull my boots up and head out and do it! Just cause.....I dunno, it's happening with or with me lol!
@saintsong whatever it is, it's going to help you build a long lasting fitness 馃憤
