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:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

 

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.

    Don't worry dear lady if we are off with the men in coats there is one with your name on it too. Partying on RT well really young lady, if you have a headache or a poorly tummy in the morning don't come knocking on this thread. BUT WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO. Looks like a good sunny walk from you then.

     

    Gawd that was all so sudden???? Well you will be added to the SNB list of ladies on the site. Do the exercises they give you they have meant I have been fine and no dragging feeling. 

    Did a walk but now sat looking at the sun wished I had left it until the afternoon.

    Evidence of Bledlow Ridge:

    If walking down a steep slope you need to walk back up again and I did it NO STOPS

    Hope you all managed to enjoy a trot, gallop or stagger in the sunshine.

    I am thinking the next posts may have blossoming daffs

  • Beautiful photos, you obviously live in a lovely area! 

    Yes I will do any exercises I’m given, ‘I’m a good girl, I am’ 

    And yes, that really was all of a sudden! They have my anaesthetic history from the private hospital where I had the most recent surgery, yay!

  • Lovely outside photos....I’m afraid I was too cold and blagged a lift off my brother!(!I have been soooooo cold in my lil flat wearing scarf  for 24 hours).sat with my sister in law doing my tapestry in their warm house,chewing the cud,then my 5 - year old (great-)niece tried on some ballet pumps I had been keeping for her,and she pretended to do some ballet,and my nephew his flat cap which I found in the Sales.He loved it.Looked like a mini Peaky Blinder..It was lovely,and doesnt happen often enough!!

    ....the answer,dear moomy,to that question is,”in April I will be saying,’oh,yes,and I’m a cancer survivor’”...takes a while to realise....but I see my mastctomy as a sort of War wound,now.Is that weird?Am a bit proud of it in a way...we have been there and come theough it.

    xxxhave yourself a great time out.We all need a belting night out (as our as mrsox would say...xxx)

    Mrsox,

    Your poor lad’s still struggling a bit, bless him. My OH gets a touch of S.A.D. He’ll be better when the clocks go forward and he can get himself in the garden again!!

    Enjoy your trip to Manchester both of you. Good to see you back by the way xx

  • Hi,Well I have done another 3.5 miles today....including the gym on a sitty -down bike.Its good coz I can read my book  while I am exercising..I need to keep going as it makes me accountable to someone ,which I need.Handed in my food and drink chart yesterday but wont start again till next week on one,coz I cheated a bit this week I got myself a cream trifle with almonds....I am afraid after a few weeks beeing “good”I have to break out.

    I didnt go passed any pretty scenery,but took this photo of a hip bath which I REALLY REALLY want.every time I have passed for a year I have pressed my nose against the window.Its just that I cant possibly afford£1,000...!!!

    for the record.last week I saw a bright pink pom pom hat and a puce green one go by my window,and today I saw a violet one with grey fur pom poms.Think I would like that one....

    hooe you all doing well today..a little warmer ....

    ....hope all goes well for you tomorrow,xxx

  • Thank you Cannon! I’m sat in the car park waiting till nearer my appointment for the jab, it’s pay and display so I won’t overpay!!!! Bad enough they shove radioactive stuff into you, but worse that they make you pay for the privilege! Haha! 

    Hugs to all xxx

    Hi All

    Rubbish excuse number 75. I had my hair cut today but parked away from the town and walked in and out. So only 2/3 km.

    Still the hair looks good. Hope you agree?

    Tomorrow - before it rains - a walk. A chat and catch up with a new friend plus a cheeky lunch.

    Mmmmm  as I am 174cm think that is 5ft 10 in - in old money - that hip bath would be no good to me. But it looks lovely

     my Bro in law is at a hospital in Hull at present having RT. I can hear my sister cussing this end of the county. They have designated parking slots for people on RT but they are used by all and sundry

    GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
