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

Hi Everyone I went for a hike first thing this morning for a few hours. It rained heavily for a good part of it so I got drenched. Only started to feel cold when I stopped. But the views were amazing - it’s funny how things look quite different both during and after rain. Small rivers formed throughout along with fairly sizeable puddles throughout. Definitely still worth doing.

And then I congratulated myself with a hot cross bun and steaming cup of coffee…

Hi @Delicatessen @Dimity @TAB @Historylover @Former-Member

How are you guys? It’s been a while since I checked in here. Unfortunately I have again fallen off the walking bandwagon. I was wondering how you guys were doing. Perhaps you can encourage me out of my house again?
Sorry I have been missing in action!

I'm still managing to walk just about every day @Oaktree . I miss it when I don't do it. Yesterday was too wet.

I have been struggling with motivation lately.

I am feeling my age lately when I get up and down.

Re: Walking for Wellness

I've worked hard to make it part of my routine @Oaktree which means I don't need to feel motivated as such. I wish I could do the same with other things! Maybe I just need to keep trying.

In response to: Re: Walking for Wellness

Re: Walking for Wellness

Definitely keep trying @Dimity

I am going to go back and read through some of your other thread to try and motivate myself re cleaning. Just gotta make small steps each day.

Re: Walking for Wellness

Hey there, @Oaktree. I usually (kind of) get a walk in when @Former-Member shames me into it. I might go out for some vitamin D today without prompting...if it's not raining. ☔
