I used to do this. I'm glad you are. And it's good to spread the word. I can't walk now, too injured, but I'm glad you can. You're doing great. Exercise does indeed help the mental state.

This is a pretty cool thread Rizen. I think I remember it. I have not been able to walk or do much, since I was on the run back in 2013 and sick ever since 2010, and when I have to type; I have a lot of neck pain, plus backwards. LOL, learning disability so by the time I typed this out I passed out three or four times. Doc's checking on things; brain thing or possibly blood clotting, but am now on baby aspirin so I'm stronger!

I have to think hard about exercising, because my health is at-risk right now. However I am under my specialists/docs' care, was told there is nothing life-threatening right now, at this time or point, and I do not know exactly what he meant by saying it that way.

Every time I get on here, I pass out, due to either no oxygen getting to my heart and lungs or pain from nerves in my neck and back and shoulders and hip, that sends me to someplace that I don't like to be.

I'm here for a few minutes before my pain gets too bad; I just was able to sit up at the table and eat a meal all on my own, and I ate a really healthy Chinese plate with rice and veges, and thought better do this while I can. With arthritis, myotonia, myalgia (fibro), and myositis it's difficult to exercise I did use to weigh 296 and drank lots of water to lose that so water helps tremendously to keep our body functioning.

As of last week I'm drinking water regularly; Cannot walk that well yet, but am planning on it soon.

@Freedom and Tustitalo good for you :) I have to make myself walk when I'm depressed or in a bad mood but it makes me feel better.

@Milla sorry you got injured :(

@gizzy I hope you can get treated and better soon. My mom is currently on cumiden for blood clots in her lungs. She's able to do a lot more than a month ago but still needs a lot of rest.


I ran 1/2 a mile and walked the other half tonight.

I walked a mile and planned on walking more tonight but feel depressed now. At least I got a small walk in.

I walked 2.8 miles this morning.

^One step at a time, as long as we keep at it. It all adds up.

I made myself walk 2.8 miles this morning.

I didn't walk yesterday but walked a mile today.

I walked 3 miles today.

I didn't walk the last 2 days but walked 4.5-5 miles today.

I haven't been here to post about exercise, Rizen, because I've had a kidney infection again for the past 6 weeks. My 3rd since last September. I went to a specialist and they can't figure out why. I'm still not over it. Today at work I was soaked with sweat all the way through my sport coat, and I was in a/c. My doc really wants me to get back to exercise and told me so yesterday. I really do, too, but until the infection's cured I'll just have to hope to getting back in the swing of things alongside you here. In the meantime, way to go keeping up the exercise!

^I hope the infection clears up quickly.

I hiked about 4 miles up a trail today. Being up in the mountains makes me feel better.

Sounds like spring time on the mountain trail was fun!

I walked 2.8 miles to my mom's house yesterday and took care of her cat then walked 3 miles today. I couldn't remember my DS password so I didn't post over there.

I went for a long walk yesterday and today :)
