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

I use the app pacer- I put phone in purse and it monitors activity- I like checking off the box that I walked- with diabetes they recommend walking after meals so that's one of my incentives-- now that its getting colder mall walking is a better choice-- it's all a personal choice-- it's good to have an accountability buddy-- I hope you find what works for you- hugs

polar....i'm so under educated electronically...not sure even 'how to get an app' or if it costs something I can't do that....I hear about the diabetes...I need to keep my kidney happy.

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

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    Has anyone heard from Jenn, she had an adult son with aspergers, Eric, they lived a long time with her grandmother, then they moved into an apartment. She had a funny little picture if I recall of a short dark haird woman as part of her name in a red dress.There are so many people who have dropped away from this room...I wonder where they are, and miss them. Wishing that DS could become what it...
