I have to start somewhere. I am 90 lbs overweight. I'm over 40, 5'1" and have PCOS.

I know how to eat a balanced diet from years of reading, gestational diabetes and many different tries at eating healthy.

I don't know how to exercise. I'm inconsistent, lack motivation and get plain lazy when it comes to an everyday plan of exercising.

I decided I have had enough. Time to tackle that gremlin of consistent exercise and healthy eating.

Day 3

Lost two pounds but didn't do any exercise today. My legs were in serious pain and it was time to give them a break.

Day 2

My legs are still sore from four minutes of steps. I soaked in a epson salt last night. Today was tired and unmotivated.

Went hiking with husband for 23 minutes.

Directly after had to get milk which was another five minutes.
Car wouldn't start so walked home from store, ten minutes.

Total: Walking for 38 minutes.

Going to soak again tonight. Legs still sore.

Day 1

Today I walked up and down our fourteen steps that bring us to our second floor apt., no landings until the top. I put ten minutes on the kitchen timer and started climbing, up and down, up and down. How easy is that, right? Just ten little minutes. By three minutes in I was checking the clock. My heart was pounding and my thighs are screaming. I managed one more minute.  

To sum up:
Day 1,
4 minutes of stairs.
