I was also recently diagnosed with likely Type 1 diabetes. I'll likely get a pump and Dexcom soon, as I'm doing 4+ injections and checks each day. Any advice for a new user of these devices?One thing that's helping is exercise before meals. It can get my sugar low enough that I don't need insulin. What's working for you…

Day 21 I rested, and 22 and 23-- I ran C25K for 30 minutes and walked to and from work 30 minutes each way!

I have been active and not logging it here! I can't remember everything I have have done since day 16, but it's mostly been A LOT of walking. This week I started using the elliptical at the gym along with free weights. I think tomorrow I will start Couch 2 5K, as I have been feeling the urge to RUN! So even though I…

Day 14, 30 minutes walking. Day 15, 90 minute walk and 20 minutes resistance band training.

Day 12, walked around the house as the snow storm in my area kept me in. Day 13, 65 minute walk

Days 10 and 11 consisted of 60 minutes of walking each day. I said I wanted to mix things up, then I got a fitbit and I am finding walking simple, easy, and motivating. Guess I'll stick with it for now.

Day 9. A 90 minute walk with a friend before dinner.

I walked today for 70 minutes. Day 8 complete! have been doing a lot of walking since this challenge started. It's an easy way for me to get my movement in. At some point this week though, I want to add on different activities so my movement is more robust. Any suggestions that might be an inspiration?

Walked a mile today for Day 7. One week down!

Walked 40 minutes to the grocery store today for Day 6.

30 minutes on the stationary bike for Day 5.

I knew I would be busy today in the evening (which is when I usually exercise), so I walked to and from work, which gave me 57 minutes of activity, not to mention a great couple bursts of energy to start and end the workday.

Also looking for friends. Been on since last summer and now ready to connect with more people and up my fitness level

Day 3 was 75 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of brisk walking !

Day 2 down with 30 minutes of walking!

Do people mind if I friend them? Also looking to expand my community here on MFP.

So awesome to see people getting it done! I took a yoga class tonight. It was hard and I am TIRED, but I feel proud!

Suggestions welcome! I definitely do not take advantage of videos in the way that I could, YouTube or otherwise. I want to, though, because I need the flexibility that videos provide in terms of always having a way to work out, getting rid of that barrier. One particular difficulty I have is with learning the video. I find…

I am right there with ya! I already get up EARLY, so morning workouts are out for me. The gym takes too long and outside is too cold - do you see I'm good as making excuses? Ha What I have found works for me is just a 30 min exercise video each day. There are tons on Youtube, and I also have a few programs that I really…

Just reading through this thread is so motivating and energizing! Glad it is here! Today I'll: 1. Look up workout videos to support my goal of 30 minutes of activity for 30 days. 2. Try a few resistance band stretches to work on flexibility. 3. Put my bike in the basement before the storm. 4. Pair house cleaning with an…

This is totally what I need! MFP has helped me lose weight by being mindful of what I eat and how much, but I am totally stuck in an exercise rut! In the past, I biked to work everyday, or spent hours in the gym, and now I just can't seem to find the right on-ramp to get back into regular exercise. I'm a teacher too, so I…
