Exercise - Working Back to it After or During Treatment

Still a beautiful day.. glad I motivated you gritgirl I must admit the weather does help. I I am walking again today instead of using the car even going to attempt the hill back home. Wish me luck.

Morning gritgirl and everyone trying to get back to some sort of movement.



Just to let you know I managed my walk but I cheated drove the car to the bottom of the hill. I walked the rest of it.



It is another beautiful day here I think we are all in shock over here in the UK we had such an awful spring so seeing the sun everyday is real boost. Lifts the depression of our everyday worries a little .

Good morning!

Have been getting out walking on a fairly regular basis. Have found that even if I don't want to walk (which is frequently) I just do it anyway. Will cut myself slack by going a slower pace, staying out a little less when it's already hot in the morning or adapting the path I take (staying on flatter ground than the inclines). Yesterday, I had to go inside after the first 15 minutes for a short rest, then back at it again. DD was here and she decided to end before I did; I lasted 45 minutes the second attempt.  

Today, instead of usual restorative yoga, we're meeting in a nearby park and going for a nature walk and meditation. Looking forward to that!  (it's overcast now so it should be nice and cool in a couple hours)

Have a great day, all!

I took the load of boxes to my new place and unloaded them yesterday. I don't have anything specific on the agenda today and it might end up being mostly a computer day. I just retired and couldn't log in to my IRA account last night to make sure the check from the retirement system has been deposited, and I want to get that straightened out ASAP.

Everything that's left in the storage unit is either too big for me to move alone, earmarked for donation, or items I don't want to move to the new place until I'm actually in residence--computers with financial information and so on. They are safer where they are. But I might call the storage place and see if I can switch to a smaller less expensive space, and if so I would need to move things from where they are now to a new unit. I'll also need to move some things from here at my Mom's to the new place, once she decides what items she will keep when she moves. Also if I get my act together fast enough I might take the donated items and some things for my niece to Portland on Friday night. And if I get all the computer stuff done, I have errands to run which might involve bus travel and walking home from the stop. The weather is supposed to be very nice here all week so I may as well take advantage of it.

edited to add: Later that same day....I didn't go anywhere on the bus but I did walk to the library to return my books. Google map says it's a little over a mile each way. Google maps doesn't say the mile includes a pretty steep hill, but it does!

Gritgirl, didn't work out today. Our plans for restorative yoga to go to the nature park for walk & meditation didn't happen as scheduled. My stomach caused some issues so I left late, the traffic was worst I've seen in a long time. By the time I would have gotten there, there'd only be half the time left (I was the only going beside the leader). Have a splitting headache and not up to a walk.

All I did today was a little walking from one bus stop to the other...probably not a mile in all, and not done all at once.

I was a slacker today.

Thank you ladies for keeping me accountable! Put some polish on my finger nails, and they had one hour to dry while I went walking. Last week, I was experiencing some pains, for now, wearing flip flops instead of tennis shoes and that seems to help foot pain. Was having pain in both my calves but now today. Will try to get some gentle stretching or yoga in, too.
