In short, I'm looking for low impact exercises that I can adjust with time.Exercise strategy is to walk 30 minutes a day 3-4 days a week. I would normally try to do sit-ups, jumping jacks and push-ups as exercise, however, the pain is intense. I would also consider strength training but lack equipment or access to a gym. Truth be told, I need to get in shape just to get in shape
Diet strategy is more complex. I drink soda by the gallons each day. I rarely if ever drink water without eating something with it. I don't drink alcohol at all so its a non issue. I gain most of my weight during the holidays when I get gifts of bad food, high amounts of stress and little sleep.
It took me a while to give up my Diet Pepsi....I was quite the addict. But I started not keeping soda in the house which forced me to drink more water. Now I don't buy soda for home because I prefer to drink water and typically only drink soda if I go out....I'm not much for alchohol either. It certainly doesn't help during the holidays when you get gifts of food. The temptation can be so great. Now that the holidays are over perhaps this won't be so much of an issue anymore. I have the same addiction to diet soda. I was always under the impression that it was good for you since it doesn't have calories.
