Hey Everyone
I've been on a little walk today on my own!! (Well mostly)
As it's a lovely day I walked to my house and back to Mum's. I told Mum I was going to do it, she made me promise to met a friend on the way back a walk with him back. So to save an argument I did.
About 20 minutes walking, yes I got out of breath and I'm really tired now but I did it. My heart rate is a little high but nothing to worry about considering.

Nice one Valentina excellenty. You will get there.Slow & Steady.😃👍
That's amazing v well done 😅☺️😁😍x
Well done. Just keep taking it slowly and you will get there 😊
Good to hear that you're making progress. 👍
Don't worry about the increased heart rate. Andy's jokes have that effect on everyone.
🙋I'm off now, before he comes round the corner .
Excellent news V x
Very well done .... And that will certainly help build your confidence going forward 😬👍
That’s great news. Give yourself a pat on the back. 🥰
it’s good to be able to get out and about in the sunshine. When my husband had his CABG he had to walk quite a lot. He was told to pace himself and remember that it however far you walk you needed to remember that you have to walk back so not to do too much at first. Good luck. X
Yeah that's what I did 10 minutes there and just over 10 back
Well done Valentina, that’s a good confidence boost.
That’s great news! Hope your recovery is smooth from here on out now x
Brilliant news V, one day at a time. 🥰
👏👏👏
Well done.
Well done 👏👏
As we hill walkers say, "onwards and upwards".... well maybe leave the upwards bit for now. Well done on getting out. 😀
Hopefully a bit of sunshine always makes things brighter.Onwards.
That's great news to read, Valentina - you'll get there, remember that old saying "slow and steady wins the race". Carol x
Valentina, that sounds great! Huge win 🏆!
I’m really happy for you. A 20 minute walk is no small feat. You may feel tired, but it’s one of those “good” types of tired. It has taken me a year to work up to a 20 minute walk. 😊
Sounds like it’s onward and upward!
Oh well done you. One step at a time!
Well done.
well done u 👍
Well done V. Nice to be out in the sun. Has a positive effect xx
Wow. Well done. That will make you feel so good and hopefully give you more confidence. Hope today goes well. Brian
Well done. Slow and steady is the answer!
well done you, I’m 15 months after my pacemaker/ablation and I still get breathless sometimes depending on how far I walk. Slow but sure is good. 👍
it all starts with small steps not a marathon. Well done and stay strong knowing you can and will get there in the end . Good luck
Well done, setting small targets and goals is a great way to measure your improvement and to see how far you've come x
Well done, Valentina. Make a note of the date and what you did. It will encourage you later, if you need it.
Baby st eps; don't push it. Well done, you're going in t he right direction.
Ah that great news I am really pleased for you & glad you enjoyed it
little steps and all that😉
Great news, walking to build up strength is very underrated. I struggled to walk 100 metres after my bypass. Just come back from a 4.5 mile with the dogs. My heart was fine but my knees are complaining !! 😆
had my bypass triple at age 31 now 77, always remember those first walks leaving the house.You think if something goes wrong what can I do. Just got to hope the surgeon did a good job.Mine did today played a competitive game of walking football for an hour or so.Play twice a week and never thought I’d reach this age and do things I had to give up before surgery.So there is hope.Colin

Some very positive advice about walking on this thread. Thank you for starting it, Valenta.
Nice one. So proud of you and I bet your mum is too. Lots of love and hugs. Jan xxxx
Fantastic news - well done! 👏
That’s lovely xx
