Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

  • So I took part in Topic Tuesday this evening on Physical Activity for Mental Health. I feel motivated so I am going to give up my couch potato ways and start to make an effort to get outside to walk for exercise. I am hoping that I will improve my mental health whilst losing weight and increasing fitness. I am going to keep you updated about my progress here. Feel free to join in - the more the merrier! Maybe we can help motivate each other.

Sounds a worry @TAB . Yeah I'm better than I was plus I visited a podiatrist last week - so my feet are in good nick now, ready for when the rest of me catches up.

How are you - feet, knee, back - up to walking or the bike?

Re: Walking for Wellness

@TAB yeah when I was a kid we had an open fire and a wood stove. Lots of wood splitting, kindling, wheelbarrows to cart it.

Glad you're lining up physio.

Re: Walking for Wellness

@Shaz51 its no good, love. I'm sorry you got the flu. Maybe stay at home? Your local chemist should home deliver. We have so many out this way that do this service. I have been unable to get out to my regular chemist since they renovated a new premises. It must have been hard going for you getting out there but kudos to you for trying ❤️

Re: Walking for Wellness

My sister has it too @Shaz51 . Bad cough and upset tummy. There must be a lot of it around.

Can you get online delivery from the supermarket as well as the pharmacy? I've found it a help lately.
