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

You're doing well for only 3 days into the month @Oaktree . Maybe you could keep it up for wellbeing and exceed your target.

I didn't walk as far as usual today, I felt dizzy and a bit panicky.

Hi @Oaktree

That is so great! I’m so glad your walking is going well.
I also love the idea of spending two days in a spa bath ❤️

I have been walking every day and am halfway to my October km goal already! Think I will just take it pretty easy today. Got to go walk around the park a few times to collect gifts for Pokémon Go.

Walking every day this month is awesome @Oaktree . How are you feeling?

I went for a longer walk this afternoon. It's sunny and bright but a tad chilly... maybe not a bad thing as I walked briskly.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Took a rest day yesterday seeing as I was already halfway to my month’s goal. Only did a short walk today but at least I did something. Not really feeling motivated at the moment. Had a bit of emotional upheaval lately.

Hi @Oaktree sorry to hear of your stress. You're still doing well with the walking, 5 days/week is recommended. It's worth keeping going for your health even if you exceed what you've committed to for fund raising.

I'm persevering but feeling unwell, it's an effort at the moment.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hi @Dimity I hope that you feel better soon. It’s so hard when everything is an effort! I am feeling slightly better after my upset on Friday. I have been feeling quite sad about what happened.

Today I did two walks. One shorter one and the other a bit longer. Altogether I walked a fair way for the day. I am way ahead of target so I don’t have to try too hard to meet my goal! It will probably be only another week to get to goal so I might do shorter daily walks for a while. I am a bit worn out as it stands. Looking forward to our Anniversary this weekend and our little getaway. Can’t wait to soak in the spa!!! Ah bliss!

Re: Walking for Wellness

So glad you have things to look forward to @Oaktree. Your anniversary plans sound awesome.

I missed my daily walk for once, as I had minor surgery. I don't think I'll be able to do my strength band exercises for several days. Hopefully I'll be back on track soon.
