A Walk A Day...

If your arms ache, EverOnly, you'll deserve a nice hot bath with bubbles!:)

I got some exercise yesterday by riding a (calm) horse - it was quite fun. It did require that I not space out though!!! A whole hour of not spacing out. Might be a record for me.

Today's walk was great. Cold but sunny for 50 minutes. Listened to The Sound of Music soundtrack. Tuesday will be almost 50 degrees and sunny. Can't wait for my walk. Now if I could only sleep...

Well... today was the first day since I got my gym membership that I actually went to the gym. I'm so annoyed with myself! :mad: Right after the 28th of February, I ended up getting a really bad cold, which left me in bed for almost a week. Then I spent the next week getting caught up with everything that didn't happen when I was sick. Then it was St. Patrick's Day pandemonium, with lots of stuff at home plus parties and outings. :confused: Deep breath. Now I'm trying to get back on track with stuff for me. :D So today, finally, I did get to the gym, and I did 60 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the bike. Excellent! :laugh:

Just back from 5 mile walk listening to Duke Ellington. That with the walk plus fresh air and sun makes me happy! :)

I like reading how everyone is getting out and walking or exercising. I want to do that. Fear keeps holding me back. Little intervals the therapist said. I haven't even been doing that. But I've been thinking about it, and that is a start!

Visualizing is key @Britt.f7! You will do this when the time is right.

There are days I can only walk once around the block. That's just the way it is sometimes. And it counts!

I started small. That's the only way I can do new things. A little bit at first.

To be honest, if it didn't lift my spirits like it does, I don't know how much I would do.

Today I had a lot if energy. Some days nil.

Today I went for a 30 minute walk with my dog, it's progress:)

Slow going today.

The other day I was tired and down. I took a walk. I asked my deceased friend for a sign about something. I asked if she could send a lady bug or a butterfly. Nothing. I thought well it's still winter. What can I expect? Just then my iPod went off the playlist I had on. It played a song by Denice Williams.

Black Butterfly.

Goosebumps!

Slow going again. My glutes are aching so I took small slow steps and that slowed my mind. Went 48 minutes. Listened to Bob Dylan. Now a nap!

70 degrees Friday. A perfect day for a walk.

Thursday did a good hour walk and realized I tend to walk with my torso forward like I'm trying to get away from bottom half when I am having a rough day. Consciously changed posture and felt better.

Listened to a big mix including Flowers on the Wall which I hadn't heard for 50 years.

Hi I'm new to these forums but do like walking. I have terrible insomnia and often end up walking at night but it's really peaceful and nice. Some days I just can't make myself get out but I try to walk as much as I'm able. Being in nature helps me feel better.
