Walking Again!

It has been a while since my friend Grace and I went for a walk. I think already a month. We had a bright sunny day but it was freezing cold that I had to wear winter pants, a shirt, pullover, a vest and of course a winter coat. We walked earlier than we used to as it became (becomes) already dark at 5 in the afternoon here. We had fun walking, chatting, observing the plants and the nature around us. We have noticed a lot of birds and swans swimming in the cold lake. Have you done something for your health today? Thank you and enjoy whatever you are doing that makes you happy.

It is good when you have a habit of walking every day. I was planning to walk to the city but I have no motivation today because it is very freezing cold here. Thank you @Nakitakona

@Nakitakona You have the choice. This Autumn and Winter season, I seldom walk because of the cold weather. I just do it when the weather is sunny but not so cold to walk to.

@thelme55 I may not have my daily routine of walking exercise if the weather is bad too. In any case if I couldn't make it in the morning I do it in the afternoon.

I should go out walking, but I haven't done that in some time. I like going out when it's colder, and just bundling up slightly more. I wish I could walk with friends but they live too far away.

I wish your friends live nearby @ScribbledAdNauseum. These Autumn and Winter season, we only walk when it is not so cold.

@thelme55 One friend lives 30 minutes away but it is still not convenient for us to meet up. Another friend lives a further hour away.

You have no time for walking @DianneN because you are so busy with preparing your things for Florida. Soon, you can walk there with the heat of the sun. Thank you.

I have started lifting light weights because I've been diagnosed with osteoporosis so that is something I'm doing for my health.

@thelme55 Once the light weights are easy to life you progress to bigger ones. It's supposed to delay bone loss or even build up bone. I have a book called 'Strong Women Stay Young' and I'm following the program in that.

Walking with someone is a great idea. Alone can be boring, but still good for your health. We do healthy things daily, beginning with our menu.

Yes, alone can be boring @PatZAnthony but walking in a shopping mall is okay for me to be alone. Thank you.

I am glad you have enjoyed your walk with your husband @LadyDuck. I have planned to walk to the city today to buy some Christmas gift but it was so cold that I just stayed at home.

Walking with friends is a good way to get some exercise. I can't get around much; so I'm limited as to what I can do. Have a great day.

I agree with you @LindaOHio. I think that is the best way to exercise walking with a friend. Have a great day to you, too.

I'm trying to count calories and add more steps to my day. With the winter here I find it hard to walk too much in the cold. I give you credit for bundling up and walking.

I can relate to that. I only walk with my friend when the sun is bright and not so cold for walking. Thank you @iuliabardas01.
