sober4life Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Honestly what is my plan? My plan is to make it back to walking season. I'm going to make it through the winter with a heartbeat and yeah it's going to be rough but it's all that matters really making it through the winter. I might not do anything other than shovel snow here and there and rest and that's going to have to be enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a sh!tty couple of days. Keep you posted Well I wouldn't have believed you if you'd said that yoga session would make me feel better. But it did. I felt loads better. Once upon a time I was doing that session every day I'd never felt better... That's an aspiration to do that again but for now I'd be happy with twice a week 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I was planning to do a full session of yoga today..

That's the best answer for me. I just want you to be safe and happy. Can I do what I tell others? No of course not. I'm out of control most of the time. Today I shoveled snow for 3 hours. I couldn't have stopped that from happening if I was handcuffed to the couch. I would just be dragging the couch behind me when I was shoveling.

Nightjar Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I didn't do it in the end. I realised how knackered I was and did some relaxation sessions instead. I need to keep those up... Maybe get that session done in the next few days. I don't want to be ill. Just want to get on with life. But my body says no @sober4lifeI liked your thoughts on dizziness being your mind saying enough. My mind got that right but I can't get off this whole moving roller-coaster till its done Well, maybe I could, I guess but I want this thing done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to get out of your house is essential and being stuck scary, so I can't blame you for doing all of that. Its just a shame that you have to do it all by yourself. A helping hand would go a long way, I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I probably could get more help in life but just imagine what it's like for this person to wait for help.

My mind and body are rarely on the same page. My mind never wants to quit no matter how rundown the body is. I always feel like I need to be done 100% to relax but I think the problem for me is I'm not sure I ever feel like I've gotten to that point. We need to be easy on ourselves. Recently I've noticed I'm running myself into the ground and wearing my body out from stress and overworking my body but I still can't stop. It's scary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) 4241. I did a short walk at the lake after another bad night's sleep. It was nice. Glad I did it in spite of tiredness. I saw some amazing rainbows on the way and a beautiful swan came to say hi to me Edited February 6 by Nightjar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I walked about 4 miles today. It's still limited because of the snow and ice but out here you can smell the first day of spring and I'm calling today the first day of spring here. Yes I'm going to ignore the fact that I saw the sheriff seizing a camper and the tow truck got stuck in the snow to the point they had to send out the bigger tow truck to pull out the first tow truck and the camper. I said it's spring here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Well I managed a full session today I did have a dizzy spell at one point but I didn't feel unwell while I was doing it so I just went with it. I wasn't so dizzy that I might fall over so I guess it was ok Gonna do a shortish walk now n I have to find a tree to have a wee behind Hope no one sees me Edited February 10 by Nightjar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I walked the same route today. It's good to have a shorter route if I need to have it. Right now my normal route is still junk. I got to see new cows today. What are there more cows than people in your county? Yep that's why I'm here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherG Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I walked from the car up to my front door steps. lol I'm so out of shape Right now I'm trying to just, survive moment by moment. Year did not start off too great. But as Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I walked the short route again today and I was finally able to get my sidewalks and driveway clean today. The solid ice from the ice storm finally melted into slush I could get rid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I walked the short route again. The donkey is eating and spending time with the other animals which are all cows but she seems to be doing some better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I walked to the lake and back today finally. I saw a bunch of deer on my walk. I was worried at first but I saw they were all wearing their masks so I should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I walked to the lake and back today. I did see a solid black cat which I think is also rare. So a solid white cat and a solid black cat both lives around here. Most cats I see around here are calico so I wonder where these two cats came from. Ha I even searched for black cats and it says people also ask why do black cats talk so much? Edited February 21 by sober4life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocico Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I was over Shropshire way today and had a stroll round a nice little town called bridgenorth, it's got lots of lovely old 16th century houses and stone buildings, gate houses and a castle and the like half the town is on top of a huge cliff and the other newer part is down the bottom near the river, so I wandered down a cobbled street from the top to down by the river and back up again I can see why the locals are all lean looking! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) 11127 steps today. I was kind of done when I got to about 9,000 but I couldn't resist doing another lap to reach that goal of goals 10,000 lol. It was really good to get outside.. I haven't walked in about a week I really don't think that humans were designed to spend most of their time indoors.

sober4life Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I did 3 hours of landscaping today. I never got to the walking today. I had a list a mile long so I road that crazy train today and I got everything done except for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
