Hi guardian1993, if you put meds aside for a moment, the best approach to starting exercise is a small but regular programme. Try not to think ‘work out’! Instead just think – I am going to move more. If you walk five miles a week more than you currently do, then that’s brilliant. You will feel better and will have started to get healthy.
This way you can monitor yourself AND your meds in a gentle and positive way. If you can manage this, and all is well you build a bit more into your programme eg: 5 miles a week and a swimming session.
Try and only think about one week at a time if you can! I have a very very long list of things that I intended to do, but because the goals were too big, funnily enough I didn’t achieve any of them! I am learning to think in steps rather than all or nothing.
… cooking a three course meal for friends – bored by the recipe hunt, forget it…join a gym, pay a lot of money for a years membership, go twice, bored…write a children’s novel, to me awesome ideas and plans which make for a heady format, bored by chapter two……… oh dear…
Small steps – this is the future!
