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.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Good on you @Dimity

I walked up to the shops and back on Friday with my little nana trolley.

I need to get back into regular walking but I have injured my muscle behind my knee. When I walk up a hill it really hurts. The original injury probably happened two years ago but it keeps happening on hills

Re: Walking for Wellness

Well done for trying @Oaktree but please be careful. Perhaps you could try a knee brace or strapping if your med/physio people think it's safe.

I use a nana trolley too - actually I've got 2 of them. I need the big one for cat litter.

Re: Walking for Wellness

No it’s not arthritis @Shaz51

But I have done something to the workings of the back of the knee. Very technical terms I know but I don’t know what it is that I have hurt. Maybe a tendon

Hi @Dimity

How are you doing today

In response to: Re: Walking for Wellness

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi @Oaktree okay thanks. Just got home from hunting for catfood in a couple of places - my old boy is very pernickety but I had success. It was a good walk.

How are you?

Hi @Dimity

I am good, just got back from TK Maxx. Bought myself a new case. Going on a trip tomorrow.

 my cat is fussy too but she will eat the Cachet brand from Aldi. She has decided she has had enough of the chicken varieties though. We do spoil her and try and buy what she likes. I recently bought her two special dinners ready for her birthday in August. They were on special so I picked them up early. Ultimates Indulge - Tuna & Barramundi - Tuna with shredded chicken breast and prawn

Re: Walking for Wellness

The Ultimates Indulge sound fancy @Dimity

I hope she enjoys them as much as I want her to
