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

Hope you get better soon @Oaktree I dropped the ball with walking. I had legitimate reasons to have a break couple times then couldn't get started again.
Im starting a new job tomorrow so will have to try and work something out around that

hi @Dimity @Captain24 @EternalFlower and Anyone Else around

Re: Walking for Wellness

Congratulations on the new job @TAB , I hope it goes well.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell @Oaktree , I hope it clears soon.

I've still been walking but it's a bit more of an effort at the moment, and I haven't embarked yet on the extra exercise program I'm supposed to be doing. I'm struggling a bit.

Thanks @Dimity job is like 4-6 weeks hope I can make it.
I hurt my feet walking in thongs. Eventually got around to getting sneakers then wore skin off ankles as socks had holes in them. Lost count of how many pairs of socks bought in last year or so. Hard to find good ones these days . Need more by looks of it @Dimity

Re: Walking for Wellness

Sounds painful @TAB it would definitely put you off walking. Good socks and good shoes are important to me, as for several years I had to see a podiatrist regularly. So I skimp on other clothes but not on those. I don't have a car so rely on my feet.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Silly thing w me is it was all manageable/avoidable

im going to have to try and find the ones I got last time and get a few more pairs and accept that comfortable socks don't last long. I cant have them

tight. Its hard to find socks that im ok with can have ones that look the same but arent etc even odd sizes in pairs these days @Dimity

My faves are wool mix for winter @TAB but not always easy to find.
