    I agree. This is a lifelong change that we must do to live a healthier life. For me, even on my "off" days I still feel like I need to do something. I don't feel right if I don't.

    One day of not taking care of me, leads to another and then another.. before long, it's weeks or even months. That's why I have my goal of 30 minutes of activity, no matter what. Even if it's 30 minutes of stretching or yoga, it still counts.

    So yeah, every damn day. ;)

    Yep, that's where yoga or other stretching can come in especially handy, and it aids recovery, too.

    I have blood sugar problems, so I also do something involving movement (at least like walking) after my big meal or any sweets each day, too, for maybe 15 minutes. That helps a whole lot in my glucose numbers, and it's not hard at all. I was surprised to see how short it could be and work!

    Depends on what one does. I'm a distance runner and sometimes need an honest to goodness day off... but a day off doesn't have to mean humping the couch all day long. I still get in a couple of good walks otherwise my dog would not be pleased with me at all. Walking doesn't get in the way of rest and recovery.

    Nope, too regimented.

    Some days it's a good book, a bottle of wine, and chocolate, while I watch the rain pour down.

    Almost every day, OK.

    Cheers, h.

    ETA: I'm just not a person that does absolutes.

    If I could figure a way to squeeze it all into one day a week, I probably would!

    I don't know that you have to, but I choose to. You can count the number of days on one hand that I haven't been to a gym or run outside in the last year.

    No. If you stay on plan for six days a week, the one day off isn't going to undermine the goal. The physical and mental rest may even help.

    I agree.

    I dont exercise every single day but I never have a day where I dont move. I always get off the bus a stop early to have an extra walk. When I'm brushing my teeth at night now I hold a squat position and lock my core. When I'm cooking I do side steps. So I guess I do "exercise" every day but I want MOVING to be a way of life. It will increase my metabolism so I have the energy to do more exercise.

    As for food, I love food and dont want to be limited by rules I want to break. So I try to drink at least 2 litres of water a day and I ensure I have some fruit / vegetables every day.

    I at least walk on my off days to keep my joints happy. It's more about a medical issue and self-care. I will stroll sometimes on those days instead of going all out, but I do need to keep my body moving for my health. That's a necessity in my life.

    As for food? I happen to be one of those people who actually likes food that's good for you. I love things like vegetables, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Don't get me wrong -- I like cookies and ice cream too. But the bulk of what I want to eat on the regular is the "healthy" stuff.
