Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
Lovely photos Leolady56, and especially gratifying to come back to the magic elf doing the ironing! And moomy I'm following your examlpe and starting yoga today, wish me luck!
So I'm now HappyFeet1! When I became n.nala instead of the full fat version it didn't really mean anything (it was a reference to my dog before, my son sent me a get well card with her on the front in what I thought was a nurses' hat but on closer inspection turned out to be a doctors'!). So in honour of the first anniversary of Walking Back to Happiness, I've been renamed HappyFeet1 (the number was necessary as someone got there before me, rats).
I'll add a bit in my signature to explain I guess.
Not got out for walk yet, too busy sorting naughty washing machine (snap Leolady56, I taught the repairer's kids so had nice catch up!) and eating toast. Onwards! HF1xx
I couldn't resist this
I saw your name earlier and was unsure if you were a new 'poster'
Like it for here

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
Love it Leolady56! Not new, just same old bird.... but perhaps a bit repackaged! Love penguins and daughter is doing part-time study of a colony whilst in Australia so it has some personal significance as well as of course for this wonderful thread!

Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Marchable not match able, ******** auto correct!

Good for the Bingo Wings!...I did let the trainer in on it...and said I was practicing to be an Actor...he threw back his head and laughed,as he does...
Posting for yesterday, where does the time go? Went to Tai Chi and Chi Gong ( counts as walking!) at Maggies, the off to the local rheumatology dept with DH.( All well, just keep up with the diet ) lots of hospital carpark and corridor walking. Must confess a hospital visit, even when it's for someone else, still freaks me out. Hot wired into my brain I think

Missed you yesterday ....glad your app went ok.Sorry for all that walking...I think they should make Hospital floors a bit less hard!!

Well...thats’ my One Claim To Fame...don’t like to boast but...y’ know...(*blows imaginary dust off boxing gloves*)
Lovely people,
You have had me laughing on and off with your posts during this day of waiting for the oncotype results. Results came back at 22 and they said no chemo for me. I realise that a few years ago 22 would have had me as a candidate to consider it but I'm taking this as great news.
Now for the Tamoxifen!
But for today here are my grey pics of Roundhay Park Leeds.
