Looking after ourselves
<sigh> here's the rub. Up early to walk doggits. Problem is already very sore from yesterday's activities. Still decided to push through. Got halfway through the walk and my back was screaming, I was just hanging on to myself. Early morning is VERY hard, yet being summer and due to be in high 30's today it had to be early morning walk.
Got home a puddly limpy crying mess. (I did manage to get inisde before having a meltdown though).
Walk distance was 1.2 km, and took 25 minutes (but the endurance level was 10).
Anyways - after settling down and resting feel okay again, but this is the kind of extra challenge I face having mutliple physical problems. I AM able to push through but I worry that I shouldn't. 
Hey @MoonGal,
I'm reading your posts here and following your progress. 🙂
I haven't posted because I have had a bit of a body and mind slump and a big mixup with sleeping patterns over the past number of days. This has meant no exercise done at all and haven't even got out of the flat. I started falling down with my exercise goals as soon as I wrote them down! Because I still haven't got my sleep routine going well, I'm not good at taking meds at strictly regular times every day but it makes sense that it might help to do that before getting out. It is tricky too trying to balance out real physical limitations that require easy handling of the body, with stronger disciplines relating to exercise goals. And I'm not very good at discipline all round I have to admit!
Anyway, I'm glad you are continuing to post your inspiring progress here even if some of us are hiding our heads due to not doing what we said we would. 
Keep going. I'm pretty sure there's more than just me following your progress and glad to read about it!
Hey @Former-Member & @Mazarita - Thank you for coming back in so promptly and sorry if I seemed ungrateful, sorry you were both having struggle days, i know what that is like and I feel ashamed of myself for saying 'what about me!" I have a case of terminal uniqueness, so it is very helpful to hear others struggle too.
I think a thread here is how do we maintain our progrmames or good intentions when struggling mentally and emotionally, it is a very real barrier to success - we can have all the good plans in the world but there are many things that can derail it for a few days, a day, a week.
I went for a 25 minute walk (1.2) kilometres this morning and it was good (struggle about halfway through but gotta keep going can;t ssit on the pavement all day waiting for rescue, eh?
I think my dip down of serotonin plugs me into my pain, not that it lessens pain, all pain is in the brain anyway (ie, thats where it is processed) and there is probably far more links to chronic pain and nuerotransmitters than any of us know...)
I haven;t done the Qi Gong for two days, I am finding walking in the mornings is enough to 'do' at the moment and gets me out and aboit in sunshine as well. Still waiting for my bathers to arrive..
Awesome @Former-Member you have managed to do some of your goals even feeling off. @Mazarita hope you pick up some soon. Thnaks for the coamraderie and effort in writing back. 
Hi @Shaz51. Mowing is good exercise! After I posted my slumpy message, I got myself out for a half hour walk on the beach. Beautiful out there with the water on my feet. Made me feel a lot better.
