Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

I think big radical shifts simply don't work @Dimity I'm learning to acclimatise and slowly entrain my mind/body with my long-range goals now into smaller actionable steps ❤️

@Shaz51 I pushed a wheelbarrow full of horse shite through two paddocks today.

It’s time for medication and sleep.

Hope you have a good day tomorrow people Mwa

Hi @Dimity @TAB @Glisten @Shaz51 @P0larBear 

Are you doing any walking or other exercise lately?

[TAB]

yes, prob did 3 walks in last week or so @Oaktree  have hurt back trying to stretch kinks out of it. finally got pain meds again, but they really didnt want to give them, told me only in pain cos am depressed and live alone. I said hey, I was last week as well, just without the pain, der ............. so poor just graduated dr  prescribe a variation of what I was on at about 1/4 the dose and cost me $34 not 7 as not on PBS ha ha lol

going to have to get back to work on usual dr. only saw trainee guy as could get in at no notice, not worth it.

Well done on 3 walks @TAB . My back's been sore too. In last fortnight have been back to walking daily, gradually building time & distance. GP mentioned a pharmacy med that helps and I'll see the osteopath this week for stretches. Not up to core strength exercises yet, it will be a while.

How are you going @Oaktree ? From what I've seen you might not have much time at present. 

At present I have to factor in horizontal rest as well as my little bit of exercise. 

[TAB]

yes, have -ve core strength if thats poss @Dimity lol Thanks re walks, will see what I can come up with in next 7 days. consistency is my problem, its either thru pain or motivation or both ha ha

@Oaktree  I’m the Queen of Hard Graft.

Everyday I shift wheelbarrow loads of clay, builders sand, compost.

I cut down dead tree branches, clear fire breaks.

I sweat so much that I can drink at least 4 litres of water and don’t have to go to the bathroom.

This is only one job I did in a couple of hours.

💪🏼
