The next step--exercise!

I feel good about the food part of my life change to address acid/GERD.  GERD is such an ugly word!  I prefer fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables because they are lower in sodium..  I'd like to bake tomorrow and freeze portions so that I have meals to take to the flower shop..  I appreciate the taste of foods so much more now.  The next step is to organize my exercise program.  The purpose of these lifestyle changes is to feel better.   My daughter and her husband gave me a yoga certificate for Christmas.  Realizing that I would be more likely to attend, I signed up for a class tomorrow  evening.  The days are getting longer and driving north of the city should be easier.  I also enrolled for a trial week of online exercise videos.  I have exercised with these videos before and by enrolling I have more access to them.  Cost per year is $50 at the end of the trial.  The trainer offers a variety of workouts at different levels.  For now I will participate in a workout every day,   take a yoga class on Sunday and ride on Tuesday.  After I use the money on the gift certificate, I am considering online yoga vIdeos.  I might implement a walking program if I can walk fast enough.  I haven't been getting my heart rate high enough for walking to have any benefit.  I am learning what  works by trial and error.
