I walked 3 miles.

Rizen, good for you, I did my walk last night again, cold as it was, and weighed myself today and got the reward. My weight loss from surgery is holding steady! YAY!

I had a dream/wake/sleep last night....about going to a store and buying a coat with a hood and walk on the beach. Today I went and found a coat that I Love that comes just below my hips and has a wonderful warm fuzzy inside the detachable hood.

I walked for the first time today outside around the blocks where I live....7th's of a mile...felt some nephropathy in my foot from long ago back surgery, but I'd been on my feet walking around a grocery store for about an hour...enjoyed some 60's music :) to increase speed a bit and make more fun.

My 66 year old body is too wobbly, and for my kidney health, only have one kidney, exercise will help with removing toxins.

mlro835, I've got 2 kidneys, but only 40% working tissue in them, so I walk to help my kidneys remove toxins, too. So far so good. I was ordered to begin dialysis 7 years ago but got a second opinion and my creatinin level this month was 1.4, so no dialysis yet for me.

Neuropathy's why I can't jog like I used to, but I'm walking every day. I did it again last night, I'm proud to say. Feels good on my 61 year old body. Hope it feels good for you, too.

Wow!! that's great Muji...I sent you a pm....your numbers are Very Good in the grand scheme of ckd!!! Currently as of 11/4 my gfr is 29.8 and creatinine at 1.90. I had a really good high of 33% gfr a couple of months ago, but got sick three times in October so that kind of blew out my hydration level...the key to good numbers along with diet.

I know, I'm so happy with that creatinine number I got last week. Mine was up there for 6 years so I had to have quarterly kidney checkups every year, but this past year my docs relaxed things to allow me only to come in for a kidney checkup every six months. Hydration's been big. I loved diet soda, but I gave it up to drink Gatorade Zero and other beverages like it like that have electrolytes. Big shift for me. Plus, I watch my diet, which meant giving up pasta in my case, another old fave. It's been worth it, though, just to get that CKD number. PTSD is enough to deal with for me.

I've been sick so I didn't walk until today when I walked a mile.

Hope you get better, Rizen. I had trouble sleeping, so I gave up, got out of bed, and took my walk at dawn.

Another night of troubled sleep, Rizen. I'm not sick but if I keep on without getting rest I fear sick is what I might end up being. Hope you're getting well. As for walks, sleepless or no I'm still doing the walking. Today it was in the day time since all week we haven't had a single day of sunshine, it's just been cold, gloomy, and damp. The bright spot in all of it is wonderful, though--my daily walking is keeping my surgical weight loss intact! :-)

Sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I have a sleep disorder and haven't been able to fall asleep until 2:30 AM the last few nights.

I walked 2.1 miles. Feeling really depressed.

I hear you. I've stayed up sleepless until that time, too. What is it about 2:30am anyway, Rizen? It's a mystery to me.

Sorry you're feeling really depressed. It's admirable you got your walk in anyway. I hope to follow your example and get mine in today, too. It'll be rough weather for a walk, all cold and rainy out where I live today.

I'm proud to say I did it, though, once again, Rizen.

you are awesome - gettin gout there and walking regardless!!!

why does it sound romantic to walk in the rain? maybe because i am watching a romcom set in manhattan - i can picture people walking about with their umbrellas, just because they "feel" like it : )

you're doing the real deal - high fives!!

I did my long Tuesday teaching schedule today and still managed to come home from it right off the
bat at do my walk without delay. It did me the usual good. I'm maintaining my lowest weight post weight loss surgery, and it's Nov. 27th so my one year surgery anniversary is coming up Dec. 4th. Yay!

I walked a mile yesterday and paced around inside because it was cold out. Today was cold too but I walked 2.1 miles.
