in Introduce Yourself
Hey, I'm Donnie. I heard about this site a few months ago and signed up, but never really did anything with it. Now I am trying to change that. I just started a 90 day challenge that I am very excited about. I dont know if I can mention it here, the rules made it seem like I cannot. My 90 days are up on January first and I can't wait to see how I have done.

I think my biggest issue I am going to have is working out. I dont really have anyone day to day that can help push me to get my bottom in gear. I move a lot at work, but i know I need to walk at home along with situps and a few other things.

Any suggestions on how to get on track with exercise and stay on?

    Don't go all out when you start. Ease back into it. You are in it for the long term. If you have a good plan, you should see some decent changes in 90 days that motivate you to stay in it for another 90 days.

    I had that same problem...so i started out walking slow..i did 10 mins , for one week, then walked 15 mins the next week and then kept increasing the time...if you do a lot the first time...you'll hate working out the next day.

    I am right there with you. I started earlier in the year and was doing great. Some how I got off track. Ready to try again and I hope with success this time.

    I did the exact same thing and recently decided I'm done being unhealthy. As far as working out, like everyone else said, "ease into it!" When I first started 2 weeks ago I walked 1 mile in 30 minutes, now I walk 3 miles in the same time! Another great suggestion that gave me that extra pep in my step...an awesome playlist lol Beyonce had me 2 seconds from running (that get me bodied song lol) Good luck :) don't give up.

    I have no plans to rush into any workout. I use my body too much at work to wear myself out with additional exercise. I live at the end of a mile long road, so I figure if I just walk that 3 to 4 times a week to start along with some situps, I will be doing good. As far as good music to help me move, I have to find my MP3 player or that is going to be a long walk!!!

    How do you add your pounds lost to your posts?

    Nevermind, I answered my own question!

    @donijo23 that sounds perfect! You'll do great :) yes you'll definitely need to get that mp3 player, idk about you but when I'm without my music I notice the oddest things and get completely distracted, next thing I know I've slowed my pace. I try to cram as much walking in 30 minutes because that's all the time I have to myself.
