Walking :)
Posted , 7 users are following.
It is such a beautiful day here, cool wind but sunny........ decided I would go for a little stretch of my legs.
Hubby and I went to a local NT property and one of the 'little' walks is over parkland up to a 'folly' and back which is about two miles in total.
We went slowly and with lots of stops and I managed it :lol: :lol: :lol:
Had a long sit down with a latte and piece of cake to celebrate in the restaurant afterwards.
I feel absolutely wonderful..... this is a huge achievement for me..... going to rest with feet up for the rest of the day but because I have been 'unable' to walk anything like this, has made me realise that, in time and with patience, I will be able to do things like this as long as I take it slowly and carefully and rest afterwards. :D
Hope everyone else is having a good day..... hope you northern girls are not up to your ankles in snow :roll: :roll:

It was so lovely to read your post, I was almost there with you (especially the latte :coffee: and cake :cake: !). Once I'd got my head round the fact that I couldn't actually fight PMR but I could 'go along' with it, I faired much better. Its all about what you can do and not about what you can't. Now take it easy, put your feet up and enjoy the memories of your very sucessful day :magic: .

I agree with Eileen as well you can build up When I started my Nordic walking because I had had to give up exercise last year I wasnt very fit but now I can do much better and noticably with hills Even the Instructor has noticed how much better I am doing
They are mentioning 15deg here next week here so heres hoping for some more outside activity !!

Well done and glad you enjoyed your walk 8)
Yesterday, I had to leave my car into the garage for new brake pads and walked home....it is a bit over a mile.
For the first time since I developed PMR this time last year, I managed it in 10 minutes, which is what it took me pre-pmr, so I was delighted with myself :lol: .
When I first got out of hospital, I couldn't even walk to the top of my driveway, and OK the progress has been slow.....but it is still progress :wink: , and I have also been able to get back to playing a little bit of golf :D
So my advice is, as everyone on here will agree, just pace yourself and enjoy all the days that you get to do a little bit more....and give yourself a rest on the days that you can't.
Very best wishes, pauline.

Hi fiftiesgirl. Thats great! bet you are on a high. And you deserve to be.
Yes, I agree with Pauline (above), try to do the things you like to do, but don't do too much..Know your limitations.
Says me, who's just had a big 'cleaning windows' stint.. :D :D
I blame this lovely sunny weather we are having.

I did take it steady, and so far so good this afternoon.
Had my xray on Wednesday, and had a few aches and pains after going to the hospital and getting up and off the couch. But all in all I think I am improving..
Gilly.

Dust if you must but wouldn't be better,
To do some parchment, or write a letter,
Bake a cake or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference between want and need ?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to cross, and mountains to climb
Music to hear and books to read,
Family to nourish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there,
With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
A flatter of snow, A shower of rain,
This day will not come around again......
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come, and it's not kind,
And when you go, as go you must,
You yourself, will make more dust.....!:roll: :wink:

Off to Norfolk for five days so won't be about till end of the week...... forecast looks good so am hoping to sit somewhere in the sun with a pot of tea and look at the sea :lol: :lol:
Going to be pampered in our favourite hotel, fantastic food and the most comfortable bed imagineable...... almost like home! A treat for me because we feel it would be early days to try to get away abroad :roll:
Love the poem GM...... take care everyone and hope the reductions going well for everyone. :bubbly:

Fiftiesgirl....have a great time in Norfolk and hope you get good weather 8)
LizzieEllen...enjoy Marrakech & avoid all the troubled areas :oops:
I have just had a lovely evening celebrating my 23rd wedding anniversary with my hubby :D .
Isn't it amazing how quickly the years pass by and we are so lucky that after all this time together we are still as happy as we were when we first met and still love one another :wink: :D
One of my neighbours has just walked out on her husband, 4 daughters and 2 grand-children after 25 years of marriage to live with a \"younger\" man :o :shock:.
The poor hubby is devastated as he did not see it coming.....any more than the rest of us did :!: . She always seemed such a devoted wife & Mum that the rest of us on our road are totally amazed that she just upped and walked away.....but then you never truly know what is going on in anyone else's lives.
Hope everyone is having a lovely relaxing week-end.
Love, Pauline.
