Verb and Punctuation Review-Story 3

Instructions: Read the following story

Last month I decided that I was going to get in shape. I was going to go swimming 3 times a week, bicycling every weekend and walking daily and I was going to start weightlifting, too.

The first week, I exercised every day. I felt great. During the second week, I started feeling very sore and decided I would stop the weightlifting. By the third week, every part of my body was aching. I thought I was going to die. By the fourth week, I knew that fitness wasn't really for me. I decided to give up exercise and start relaxing instead. Relaxing is also very good for you and much less painful than activity.
