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.

  • , I like that saying ... its raining like fun here hahaha

    now then Apple watch.... hmmmm, you have me thinking....should be a Christmas present to myself - not sure.

    I did say this last year, but didn't get it, I have a FitBit - but the back 'sticks' into my arm and if I wear it for long time, it makes my skin a bit itchy underneath.  I was before lockdown wearing it 24-7 to monitor sleep and walking etc.  I use my iPhone to see how I sleep..... hey, you know what, this is one of the times I actually get 100% haha typical of me xx

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
  • My new iPhone is from hubs but also me, for Christmas, , I do use my phone a lot as a camera so it’s a good idea as this present one is struggling a bit!

  • Day 5 - Sunday

    Day 5 !!!! where is the time flying too....

    Not the day I intended, I wanted to achieve so much.... I knew you ladies would be waiting for me, I'm sorry I missed you all sprint off this morning.... you know I was going to bed 'very early for me'.... well, it ended up been 4:15 am 'ish - I know, I know, well tonight is a new night and an early night it will be.  i don't know, its like someone has their hands on the back of the clocks in the house and spinning the fingers round. Like now its 9:35pm - I only nipped on to write this..... a bet it's been 2 hours or so now..... I have posted about how I genuinely don't think this new style Forum is suitable to the way we all use it.  I won't go on about it in here, I am trying to calm down from my last post. 

    Like  says.... deep breath and breathhhheeeee.

    , I hope you've done your stomp - I know you will, you and Northerner are very (what's the word... sits here for 3 minutes thinking of the word)... very strong willed (that's not the word, but I can't sit here for another 3 minutes hahaha) you know what I mean..... and it's something I need to get hold of, maybe by the bucket load!!

    well this site is certainly giving us reasons to stomp at the moment - hence I found a site that does a walk, stomp, side to side that equates to 1 mile!! so today I joined you in a stomp, a fair bit later than yours though Hugging

    , loving the snowy nails - very nice indeed.  I don't know what it is with me, if I have weat nail varnish (or false nails) this makes me bite my nails.  If I just leave nails bare I go though phases - biting and growing and biting.

    Loving the dancing shoes...... and the 11:30am !!! clock calling us all from far and wide to gather round.

    Hey you mentioned your arms not being strong - well since taking letrozole, I have noticed my wrist's and fingers feel like the could snap if I put much pressure on them, say I was 'trying' to get up off the floor and putting hand down to help push myself up, I have to clench my hand into a fist first to help push myself and my wrists - they are the same - so I will be joining in some kind of movement to help these too at some point.

    Right, my confession.... I could do it a Northerner way..... today I planned to walk for 5 minutes and I did 10minutes 27 seconds hahaha - I didn't plan for 5, it was to do the 'walk down the blood sugar' - I didn't keep up with the video in full, I marched when I was out of puff.

    Thats me for today, I plan to get an earlier night somehow Pray

    Day 5 -

    10minutes 27 seconds 'Walk down the blood sugar' - tomorrow is Monday, start of a new week, lets see xx

    owww and the tree has not got decorated Unamused

    Confession is good for the soul - hmmmm 

    Sending Love to all - Nighty Night xxx

    Little add on ladies, if I'm not at the 11:30am roll call - I'll be at the 1:30pm - this might be a better time for me Thinking

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
  • I love the new iPhone Max Pro - that would be my phone of choice .... I must do this, I must and we all know Apple doesn't do sales - so no point hanging on.  What I should do though is look at the new phone with a bundle attached instead of having separate Thinking information overload hahaha xxxx

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
  •  Loving the posts today...I seem to have missed them till now...Anyway...deer deer indeed....and what a specimen of a tree!!all knotty and old...fab...and the environmentally happy Christmas tree is just fab...giving me ideas for my decs.I am making a hamper for my big sis and her hubby who are coming to town over Christmas and renting a cottage and I can BE IN THEIR BUBBLE!!what glee!!

    I did my dance steps....and will have to keep on remembering them now by repetition.No I didn’t do dancing as a child.I just do like it though xxxx

    Oh,PS this isn’t me ,but it is someone teaching me the steps...on Utube...PROOF!!

  • Hello all, especially , how are you all doing today with any sort of exercise?

    I’ve done my mile indoor on the spot jog/stomp, and then my modified push ups, and weighed myself, have lost a bit over  2lbs, yay! 

    Now cooking red cabbage with chopped apple and cider vinegar, very slowly......

    aaaand a coffee!

  • Hi all, like the sound of the red cabbage . 2 walks so far, nice one on muddy meads after dropping the car off for its MOT. Lovely sky, yes sun is out again at last! Then short dog walk. Soon off with friend to next town for takeaway lunch and hot choccie. So I’ll be walking with you if you’re on the treadmill at 1.30! Love to all, HFxx
