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.
Day 1
Trying to get 'back' with it, or even 'just with it'....
After weeks if not months of inactivity - no walking, no going out of the house - other than to deliver groceries to my lovely mum - well, the weight has piled on and inactivity is taking over.
Last night I checked my blood sugars.... 14. something arrrrghhhh. Now I am 'not' a diabetic, I say this, however, if I went to my Doctors and he seen my readings, I think I would be classed as a diabetic. Last year, my numbers were high (not this high) and I have high liver numbers to associated with a fatty liver (NAFLD - I think its called, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Well, I started walking and slowly the weight came off and my numbers came down. I had done it - yahhhyyy - then lockdown arrived and I battered down the hatches good and proper.
So, today, is hopefully the start.... again.
I do laugh as I first mentioned about starting a 'Walking thread' to Leolady56 .... get this, without looking it will be 3 years ago this January time. I didn't know how to start a group/thread so Leolady56 created the group/thread and we had a few thoughts to names.... These Boots where made for Walking and Walking Back to Happiness became ideas.... we went with "Walking Back to Happiness" - I think this is a lovely name...
Now, if I had stayed walking from when this Page/Thread started - I bet I'd be thin, full of energy and have normal blood sugar numbers. ...
So today maybe my way of been accountable to myself to try and get back on the right path - see, I can't say it fully, as I am not sure I will be able to do this and I'm trying to give myself a get out clause.
Day 1 -
Went of treadmill for 25 minutes - using the YouTube video 'Treadmill workout routines with Stefanie 30 Minutes by theygymbox. I did this, but my own version, my treadmill has no height to increase, I just made sure I kept walking and walking and walking ..... I did it, I hated it, but, I did it - came off red faces and sweating.
Lets see how tomorrow goes 
Well done WhatHappened!!! 25 minutes on a treadmill is great! Red faced or not, I bet you felt better for it? Sorry you have had such a struggle to get going but don’t stop now!
Very interesting to hear the history of this thread, I really love it. Walking has been my sanity saver since my diagnosis. I started post op and then really got into it during my 3 weeks of radiotherapy as I read that gentle exercise should help with the fatigue. For me it’s always a mood lifter, I just love being outside.
Stay with us now WhatHappened, whether you’re exercising indoors or out, keep it up now you’ve started! Your posts are always interesting so I hope to see more of you on this thread again.
No photos from my dog walk today so I’ll find one from another day if that’s not cheating.....cows grazing yesterday. Love to all, HFxx
Well Done! Lovely,WhatHappenedwhat a star!!
do you like dancing and music? Why not treat yourself to a dance mat( my secret Santa wish-ssshhhh)...and pop your favourite music on....and just do it xxx
Well I’ve just managed to get back in after many attempts. Don’t want to be left out. I did nine holes of golf this morning it was a bit gloomy and cold but the company was good. So getting my exercise in. Made this cake the other day. So need to work it off, I didn’t eat all of it.
