Exercise

I swear exercise was created by the devil. Who wants to go out running in 90 degrees for miles? Not me! But in order to be able to keep up with my health and try to minimize my insulin intake, exercise and me need to get to know each other. So I figured I'd start out by going on walks, just under three miles a night for about six nights a week. Then I figured I'd go a little stronger and do squats (the squat challenge to be exact) well of course that wasn't enough for me, I had to add planks, leg raises, and crunches. I was going strong for two weeks and it started to fizzle out when I literally couldn't move from the pain. So I got really upset with myself but before I let it get the best of me (and my health) I decided to simply add some length to my walks. I made it so that I was walking a little over six miles a night. I love being out, gives me time to listen to some new music I've downloaded, reflect on my day, and just enjoy the fresh air. Aside from loving my walks, I do take breaks. Sometimes it's too hot or my day was just to exhausting. Never let that get you down. Instead of not going, make it shorter, go for a mile instead of the three you were aiming for. Don't give up!
