My .02 - I figure that any activity beyond your normal days routine (work and normal stuff) is a step in the right direction. I have HDADHD (High definition attention deficiet hypoactivity disorder - when I pay attention it is crystal clear but I dont do anything about it)and I have started a number of exercise routines. I take my BOB on a 5 mile walk or ride my bicycle for 1 1/2 - 2 hours and do the wife's Slim in 6 program (quit laughing - it works). I may do any 2 in a day or I may take 1 day off. Reguardless of what you do, start small and increase a little every day, BUT DO SOMETHING! I applaud you for taking the first step and wish you nothing but encouragement. Please keep up updated with your progress.
