Take care of yourself. With this coronavirus thing going on, you don't want to mess around.

Me, I'd taken double walks every day all week down here in Mexico, so to just take my daily walk almost felt lazy. But it wasn't! I'm proud of us, walking no matter what, Rizen.

I walked 3 miles today.

I hiked about 2 miles today.

On the 14th I walked the entire length of the Mexico City airport, Rizen, which was more than my daily 30 minute walk back home in the States. I didn't ask for wheelchair assistance like I did last year on my trip to Mexico when I decided to try walking without a cane.

Then this morning on the 15th after my flight from Mexico City landed in the States, I had to walk the airport again. Extra this time because the airline suddenly changed my gate to a whole other area of the terminal. Again, I didn't ask for wheelchair assistance but I got to hurting so badly that I started wishing I had. It was too much walking for me.

I asked a security guard standing by a chair if I could sit down to relieve my pain, but she wouldn't let me. It was rough. I was glad to get home. Then when I did, there was this coronavirus outbreak to deal with here.

It was a hard trip, but I did the walking without a cane and without a wheelchair.

On the plus side, all of that walking on the Mexico trip paid off, Rizen. Today I weighed myself and I'd lost 3 lbs--I'm down to my lowest weight since Feb. 2!

That's great mujica.
After my hike my nose started running and I was sneezing a lot. That lasted the next day too. I think I still had a little cold and pushed myself too hard.

Today I felt better and walked 2.1 miles.

Glad you're feeling better, Rizen, and that you could walk 2.1 miles. No need to push too hard for 3. Take care of yourself. Me, I did a full 30 minute walk last night and found I'd maintained my weight loss again this morning. It's a great way to start the day!

I walked 2.1 miles in the snow.

Way to go despite the snow, Rizen! I'm really happy about my weight. Since the coronavirus restrictions have us all "sheltering in place" these days, I was concerned I might stress eat bad foods and I might not get my walk in. Yesterday I still ate properly, just like I'd been doing since my bariatric surgery in December of 2018, and I walked, too. Result? I had a good weigh in this morning! Yay!

It's bitter cold out so I only walked a mile.

I found out today that my 2nd best friend died this week Rizen. I haven't walked yet. I may not just this once.

Letting myself off the hook like I did above, Rizen, I ended up walking anyway. I got my walk in right before midnight, so it counted for Friday's walk a day.

While I walked I was reminded of these lyrics from the U2 song "Walk On:"

"And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind"

So for now I did leave my 2nd best friend's dying behind. Until tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that mujica. I walked about 2 and a half miles.

I was feeling a bit unmotivated yesterday after being diagnosed with early COPD and feeling a bit tired. Then I remembered you guys and felt if you can do it so can I. Thank you for that and my little dog thanks you too. She had been trying to tell me she needed to go out too. It’s nice weather at the moment so a walk to the beach and back was managed and even enjoyed.

It helps my COPD to walk, shaky, so I hope it helps yours. It was nice weather yesterday where I live, too, so I got out in the sunshine for my walk. It really mattered. Glad you joined in on walking.
