Question

I'm in a really bad place, way down inside the worm hole. 


No motivation to exercise, but I know getting outside will not only help me physically and mentally, it will help me to get dressed.


Would anyone be interested in starting an exercise support group in the bp room? Just writing ya got out, how long you walked for or what distance you walked.


I've got no one to walk with, so if anyone were to post atleast I'd know I wouldn't be alone, plus with someone I'd feel more accountable to get out and 'do'....especially as the cold weather come in...


Thanks

Thinking getting into a habit will be the largest challenge for me. Have a great day! Thank you for the idea

    It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...

    If I come to DS and it won't do anything when I click "Login", I go to a post, click and then click "Leave a Reply".  Then it will let me log in.Of course, sometimes DS just goes to "Error 504".  Then I can't log in.
