Walking motivation?

Hoping that some have been inspired to move forward with their health and activity level.

I'm still recuperating from my hurricane cleanup injuries; but, I'm progressing.  I'm not on crutches anymore.  So, I felt bold enough to walk and shop in a very large box store yesterday.  Items are packaged in large quantities and have some weight to them.  Well, it was not a gym per se; but, there was plenty of walking and weight lifting.  And, today I celebrate "hurting so good."    

That's awesome! And that is also a kind of exercise! 😊 

I managed to go for a walk 6 days this week, but yesterday it was storm and rain, so I stayed indoors. Two of the days I walked double distance. I'm so grateful to Abba Father for His help! 🎶 🆙 🎶 🆙 🎶 🆙 🎶

Hope you are faring well through the storms there.  Here it's the perfect time of year to get out and enjoy the warm sun and cool breeze.  So, I walked the dog and the hubby.   Unbelievable but there's still debris from the hurricanes piled up on the curbs.  Afterwards we undid any kind of calorie burning by eating out at one of our favorite Italian restaurants.  Oh well, we kept a healthy menu trying to be mindful of the wellness goal.

I really need to start to go for a walk again, in a regular basis, but I can't find the motivation. Do you have any tips? ☺️

It is hard to get motivated to walk everyday. I live in a two story house so I must go up and down 600 steps a day. I have no choice.

Yes, I live on a forested mountain. There is no place for me to walk. And on the two lane country road I would have to walk. Way too risky.

But walking in stairs is a good exercise too, right? 😊

That's great! 😊 

I've been able to go for a walk almost every day, except for two days the last couple of weeks, and I'm starting to get addicted to it now! 😊

I know, and were I live it often blows 🌬️ and rain ☔ at the same time, so it is challenging, and unfortunately I stayed indoors because of it today, but I've decided that I cannot let the weather rule over me, so tomorrow I will go out anyway (if I'm still down here). 😊

Yes, it is excellent. At the workout places they have a stair stepper

machine. At first my legs were sore but I have gotten used to it now.
