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.

@Captain24 well done for persevering. I hope your back pain eases soon.

I'm still walking every day but feel a bit sore atm from the extra exercises and gardening I've been doing.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I've been pacing the covered walkway outside the caravan during the last few days of rain and getting outside when I can, but still rising very late. Not sure the steps I take when I do get up make up for laying in bed for hours but it is progress of a kind.

Today went to the local post office and then into town by 10am to get meds and other bits and pieces for my trip to WA on Monday. Did quite a bit of incidental walking and carrying and am a bit sore.

Don't know how I am going to keep up with my daughter for three weeks while also looking forward to taking her dogs out each day, weather permitting.

Hope your walking is going well @Dimity @Oaktree @Captain24 @hanami @TAB

Take care,

RedHorse 🌹🐴

Re: Walking for Wellness

I'm glad you've been building up to more walking @RedHorse . It's very exciting that you'll be on your way to WA on Monday.

I missed my walk today due to heavy rain - I should have gone earlier.

I couldn’t walk today and won’t be able to for the next 2 days because of work but I do a little incidental walking at work.

That’s great @RedHorse !

I’ve been walking lots. I actually bought a treadmill which is great. I can now walk when it’s raining or cold and windy.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I did a bit of walking to and around airports between connecting flights yesterday but I also spent several hours sitting on planes.

I have just got back from a marathon walk around the park with my daughter and her two dogs in not so sunny WA and I almost kept up lol

They get walked every day so I expect to be well exercised for the three weeks I'm visiting 😁

Re: Walking for Wellness

Congratulations @RedHorse that's excellent news.

I saw my dietician today. She's happy with my walking and resistance training and that my weight and measurements are still improving. I still need to work on my sleep patterns and meal timing.
