Not there yet but trying

[soulboy118]

this hopefully is just the start , be realistic in our expectations and I'm slowly working my way up to being just rubbish at walking .lol

[sassy59]

Oh well, as you say, you’re trying. Just keep going Dave. Xxx😘

[soulboy118 in reply to sassy59]

thanks carole xx

[pepparuby1]

great!!! Can I ask do you use iPhone or watch for steps or is it your phone? I ask because I bought iPhone watch two years ago so it monitors every step - not just when I’ve got the phone on me? Small steps little and often build up to more steps - hard I know!!!

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

morning kate , its an app already built into my android phone ,as you say it doesnt measure when ive not got the phone on me but for now it'll do .

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

ah so … you’re actually doing more as you’d be surprised how many steps we take without our phone

[tbeth]

Keep walking! Everday you"ll improve. Good luck and don't get discouraged.

[soulboy118 in reply to tbeth]

thanks

[pepparuby1 in reply to tbeth]

I need to hear this

[CDPO16]

my legs are aching just reading this!

[soulboy118 in reply to CDPO16]

i slept well last night

[B0xermad]

this a good start ,I used to be able to get to the front door and back only it was a bungalow,but now I do 6000 steps a day so good for you for trying 👍

[soulboy118 in reply to B0xermad]

oh that isnt al in one continuous stroll , plenty of breaks involved

[B0xermad in reply to soulboy118]

step by step is a brilliant start 👏

[pepparuby1 in reply to B0xermad]

brilliant so it can be done!!! On the odd occasion I’ve walked 8k to 12k steps that was a day out at Hampton court and on holiday in Egypt you had to walk the whole complex numerous times a day to get to activities pool restaurant etc

[B0xermad in reply to pepparuby1]

definitely but building up over time until you feel ready

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

brilliant

[Ergendl]

A journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. You've already passed that by more than another thousand steps, so well done. Keep doing just a little bit more each day, and you'll get there.

And it's OK to have a day off when you need to.

[soulboy118]

its the second day off im worried about lol

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

you know what Dave - I was terrified of vegetating so whilst waiting for the kettle I would walk on the spot. I went to the tip yesterday with bags of rubbish I thought how on earth am I gonna do this but I did and I paced myself ….

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

well done kate

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

😳😂

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

im the same kate, we need motivation and sometimes thats hard to find especially from others , i cant blame them they dont know what true breathlrssness is

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

yes people don’t understand it’s horrible indeed! I’ll try and do some steps today around the house 😂

[soulboy118 in reply to pepparuby1]

ive done 271 round the house already , dodnt know making bacon on toast nreded so many steps

[pepparuby1 in reply to soulboy118]

lol

[Collie4]

that’s good. It’s an achievement, the more we do it the better it gets, but take care.

Before the progression of my illness and when I had my little dog, walking and doing the recommended steps were not a problem but I did notice that, having short legs and a short stride, my distance covered was less than a taller, long striding person.

[Blackbird9]

a dog would get you walking and they are great company to 💜

[soulboy118 in reply to Blackbird9]

had dogs , the l9ss is a little to hard to take these days .

[Izb1]

Well done to you, you have to make a start somewhere 1400 today 1500 next week, you will hardly notice the difference, just dont push too hard x

[soulboy118 in reply to Izb1]

i try not to but at times it seems like im fighting a losing battles

[Izb1 in reply to soulboy118]

Aaaw I know it is hard but every slow step is a step in the right direction, keep your chin up x

[soulboy118 in reply to Izb1]

i always try to even when its hard to x

[Karenanne61]

Well done!🎉 Every journey starts with a single step.

[soulboy118 in reply to Karenanne61]

or a stumble im my case

[Karenanne61 in reply to soulboy118]

🙂Following my illness I used to walk to the top of the drive every day , just a few steps, then to next door, then further up. It took longer to dress for the out doors than I was actually out. 😂 Now, admittedly after a long time trying and crying and having set backs, I enjoy yoga and pilates and managed to mooch a little in the new forest.

[soulboy118 in reply to Karenanne61]

so jealous , i used to love walking in forests there was something so ancient aboutcthen mystical almost

[Karenanne61 in reply to soulboy118]

There certainly is. 🌳We found a lovely picnic spot then I sat drinking in the forest, and a cup of tea , whilst my husband explored further. I've had to accept my limitations but we have to be determined not to give in. Just try a few steps or stretches every day and we'll cheer you on.

[soulboy118 in reply to Karenanne61]

thank you x

[Jane2005]

Well done. Everyday is different but trying is the main thing & accepting limitations. Good luck & I hope over times it gets a little easier 🙂

[soulboy118 in reply to Jane2005]

i hope it gets a little better to jane but theres only so much our lungs cab do but we must never stop trying

[Alberta56]
