Both my pdoc and my therapist are getting insistent that I exercise to reduce stress and anxiety. I am also overweight, but I find what I put in my mouth is MUCH more important than exercise in losing weight.

We belong to a gym free through our insurance. It is actually right next door to where I have a bipolar support group meeting. I could simply go to the gym at 2 and go over to the meeting at 3. And there would be one exercise.

I also found a yoga class for those with medical problems. I certainly qualify. I went and the ladies were all nice and the class was fine. So there could be 2 exercise activities.

I also can walk around the neighborhood with my husband. It gets really hot here, but thought if we got up at 6 one morning a week that would make 3 exercises.

Three a week would be pretty good for me.

Yesterday would have been the Tuesday gym session. I skipped it because I was too tired and just went to my support group.
Today was yoga. I am skipping it because I have a mild headache, would have to drive alone, and just don't want to go. I always have a million excuses.

I know I need to exercise. How can I get off my *** and do it?
