walked a mile

Yesterday I hit a "milestone" lol. I walked a mile. In the morning I went on one of my favorite trails, a half mile long. So that was a milestone for me on it's own. I made it there one other time this year and crashed later that week. This time I didn't crash. I walked the other half on the track last night and I feel better than I did yesterday. So, this morning I'll go walk another 1/2 and that's it for the week. I'll go to the chiro later and he doesn't want me to walk for two days after treatment. But Sunday, I'll try three times around the track for a 3/4 mile walk all at once and see how it goes. I also lost 3 pounds last week. Crossing my fingers that this continues.

Can I say, very quietly to try not to jinx it, that there is a consistent improvement coming through Asunda? This is brilliant for you and inspiring for all the rest of us. Small steps may take longer but will still get you there :-)

I took a wonderful walk yesterday with my cousin's 3 dogs. It was at least a mile. Today I feel okay, except for some mosquito bites. I keep using this medical marijuana spray I got on the backs of my legs. It is hard to tell if it helps that much.

Walking is wonderful, right Asunda?

Awesome! I will be starting to walk a 1/4 mile in the morning after my feet heal. That is wonderful, take it slow, and be extra gentle with your rest time.

So, pumpkin...was your fear of jinxing it intuitive?!? lol
Not allowed to walk long distance this week. I'm back to walking the two block stretch in front of my house. But I'm determined to do it through the day starting Monday. Thought I'd better give myself the weekend off and get a boost on this rest thing.

    It was a huge hit with about 200 guests.  We got so many compliments on our hard work and the great time they were having.  There are so many nice pictures on Facebook with everyone saying they reconnected with old friends.  But let me tell you, I am glad it is behind us.  We all put a lot into it.  We are having a lunch meeting next week, which I am looking forward to.  Yesterday was...
