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.
It is, Northerner, the only place in the garden that really is shady in full summer! A cool (ish) retreat!

The light of the beautiful day has started to fade. But I have had a great day STOMPING round the golf course. We had our Christmas golf day and had sausage rolls minces pies chocolates mull wine on the ninth hole. Here I am with a couple of my golf
️♀️ buddies. I shall have to go for a long walk tomorrow to burn off the calories.
That was a very Christmassy round of golf ! And I’d love my morning coffee in your shady garden spot moomy, looks peaceful.
Walked with my usual lovely friend today, long walk but had to be slightly cut short due to fading light. We came back through one section of woods at dusk and saw a gathering of red kites - around 14 - who swooped and danced for us, just before the woods, in varying numbers for 10 minutes or so. Great to watch, have never seen so many at once before. Back through heaths at nearly dark - bit sploshy but thankfully managed to stay upright!
And WhatHappened we were walking by 1.30 so hopefully you joined us in a stomp? Love to all, HFxx
After lunch walk along prom love the fact 10/15 min drive can get to country or coast
.
Day 7 - Tuesday 15th Dec. my nieces birthday.
Nice day - shame I didn't get myself outside to see it....
Okay BIG LET DOWN ladies - I feel like I have squandered away my day, even more so now I have read all your posts. Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, - you are all doing really well, you are. You do give me inspiration.
It looks like the STOMP is catching on.... hey it could be 'our' new 'thing' hahaha 'thing' ...
The Breast Cancer Stomp!! Stomping cancer out, Stomping it out everywhere
moomylook at you with your 1 mile done and then out sweeping too - hope you were Stomping and Sweeping hahaha - looks very clean, no leaves to be seen.
HappyFeet1 loving the photos, the silhouette of the tree is lovely. Did your car pass the mot? have you stomped back to the garage to collect it yet
Northerner , I love that picture, it looks like me competely round from the legs up hahaha and as for cats, well I could go mad at mine at the moment, I think the one has Chronic Kidney Disease and he keeps going off his food (this is one of the signs, amongst others) - I feel I am trying to feed him everything and he just turns his nose up at it - yet he must be hungry.... I'm about to try some chicken in warm water You did well on your steps 1500 by lunchtime - you are well in front of me!
, look at you all on the Golf course - I wonder what a group of Santa's are called, can you imagine any children seeing such a sight
the 9th hole sounds good....
Keep on Stomping!!
You know I can't get over how that sheep posed for your photo Ricecrispie- all the others merrily doing their own thing and he is 'hello, yes, what you doing - oww a photo, yes of course, make sure 'Ewe' get my good side hahaha
I've left me till last.... I did do a few things, I did online grocery order .... takes me hours!! mind you everything does... I actually put the Christmas tree up - will finish it tomorrow and try and upload a photo.
Now then on the treadmill front - Stomping seems the way forward for me at the moment .
owww hang on.... what's happened to Violetsniff, I don't recall seeing a post - I hope you are okay, please don't say those ballet shoes have ran off with you and they keep on running - come back
So, as I was saying, Stomping is my friend at the moment, I didn't make the mile, not far off it, the phone rang and I had to answer..... then never got chance to catch up/finish ..... naughty.
Now I'm not sure if I wrote this on here or was thinking it last night, I think I was thinking.... I need to learn how to be 'strong willed', 'to feel good within myself' and I can't think of this word, like push, to do something, to complete, not to leave it half way thought. hmmm not sure of the right word. Focused ... I don't know.... I'll be looking at The Tube to see if I can find anything there that will give me the push or ideas.
So all in all ....
Day 7 -
09 minutes or there about Stomping !!!! Not good, but 9 minutes better than none!!
Tomorrow shopping coming between 2:00pm and 3:00pm - not sure if the Stomp will be before or after... after though have to take shopping to moms owwwww - lets see what the day brings. Night Lovely Ladies xxxxx and sleep
I've had to come back on - I was leaving this till last and then forgot aarrghhh ......
Northerner how blessed are you 15 minutes to the coast.... I'm, I don't know, I reckon 1 hour 30 minutes/2 hours from the coast - yet I love the sea, I really do. Just before lockdown had started I was looking at houses by the sea, found one in Skegness with the back garden leading on to the beach (small coastal type bath between garden and actual beach). Lockdown comes and even more reason for living by the sea..... this is where strong willed comes into play even more that's it - I'm gone xx
WhatHappened we live in Tees Valley area so NE coast line and Hills/ Moors all close by .Its an area that can get bad press because has big industry history . My town grew from village to town because of ICI those of us born here still call the old part the village and town centre built in late fifties early sixties the new town centre lol
Well done on yesterday see you later ....
NOW
Stop seeing king yourself like this
Cos your stomping more like this !
All set for exercise in half an hour? I hope so, or maybe 1.30 is better?
I’m hoping to clean the house too.....
