Do you have a walking buddy?
Sometimes our best motivators are friends or even our dogs! Do you have a buddy that helps you get out and move? I have a friend who texts me at least twice a week to walk for 5 miles - it is great and we love using the time to catch up with each other! How about you?

No, I do not have a walking buddy most of the time. Some days my daughter's girlfriend will walk with me. However, we walk on the treadmills at Planet Fitness. She is 34 yrs old and has health issues due to type 1 diabetes. We can walk an hour on the treadmill.
When I go on a walkabout it is by myself. I do enjoy it most of the time. But having someone along to keep each other motivated is nice. I have my music on my phone and one earbud. Walk to a good beat to keep moving.

Nope I Live Alone & rarely walk unless its a must I have endured being 100% Disabled for 20 years, I learned long ago to not react to pain since the reaction makes it worse, I honestly wish walking wasnt so painful yet all activities have been beyond endurable for so long I have learned to accept the pain & simply allow it to pass through me, I have been known to say I am pain I'm nolonger in pain I simply am Pain, but life is painful & I will admit waking every day hyperventalating from the pain isn't fun but at least I get 3 to 5 hours sleep a night, I will also say when asleep I can't mentally block reacting to pain ergo the Hyperventalating wakes me, oh well as my Dad often said Life Sucks then you Die, yet I don't know how to die & honestly that is one state of being I dont care to embrace ever LOL
Nice to actually say all that & think some other will read it & possibly it may help them to learn to simply accept the hand you were dealt as I have 🙂

yes, I walk with my 8 yr. old autistic grandson while he crusies along beside me while I walk 5 miles aday. As soon as I park my car he grabs his helmet, gives me a kiss, say I love you Nana, ride bike please. I love it he doesn't talk to everyone but he ALWAYS talks to me.
