A star for you for starting to Lighten Your Limbs! Taking that first step is great. I am so glad you did. I have found that besides the exercise, I am learning more about myself as I work this Plan. Yes, I am out of shape too, but walking the walk and not just talking the talk is going to change that. I am an old lady, and I'll never look "whistle worthy" again, but I know I will feel better and stronger, and with Diabetes 2 that's what I need now. I started Week Two today. It's 5-7-5. Adding that extra two minutes at a brisk walk really had me working, but I know when this week is over, I'll be ready for Week Three.
If you're keeping a list or chart, you are ready to check off Day One of Week One. I keep a chart and check off days; that makes me feel good, and it's the accountability to the other folks working the Mayo Exercise Plan on Connect. Remember, you can take off two days, if you want to, but I have to keep going. I did have to take off yesterday because my husband and I had dr. appointments all day. I was so tired when we got home that walking didn't go through my mind. But, this morning I got started again for Day One of Week Two. Now I'm on my way to check off this week.
Think positive and keep moving as you feel comfortable.
Can't wait to hear from you again.
