I feel trapped in the same cycle. I think that after we reach a certain level of unfitness, it is a slow journey back. The magazines etc say to increase time by no more than 10 pct a week. I tend to go for too long any given day because THAT VOICE is telling you to push yourself! It is hard to stop at 20 minutes of easy stationary cycling, for example. But 30 minutes is too much and will knock me out.

That and really watch the white carbs and get more protein. I am eating Ezekiel sandwiches of deli turkey and my blood sugar is MUCH improved, even tho i realize deli meat is not the best choice. Also, i am of the school of eating the same things til i am sick of them, then find something differentthat also works.

I have tried googling for info, like about the exercise, but find nothing. There is only info if you can ALREADY do planks and mountain-climbers. I cant even touch my toes.
