Back on the treadmill again

Tweet

I recently posted that I have gone on and off walking on the treadmill on a daily basis. Walking for one hour was just resulting in too much pain. I decided I was going to try and walk twice a day, or three times a day for shorter periods of time (15 minutes). Then I got a cold and stopped again. I have decided that more than once a day is impossible. I'm having a hard enough time fitting once a day in. I started at 15 minutes, twice a day. Then I went to 20 minutes once a day and today I did 25 minutes. I think NOT looking at the numbers on the treadmill are helping me. As long as I stick to the time and forget about calories burnt, distance walked, and whether I get that extra green light on by increasing speed, and stick to the time spent on there I can do it. The only thing I have felt is increased pain in my groin area when I stand up, no late night overall leg pain. For those who don't know, I have fibromyalgia (chronic pain) and cannot overdo or I will suffer the consequences. The pain in my groin isn't going anywhere and it only hurts when I first stand up. I can live with that. So I'm sticking with the fitness/walking but in a different way. Now I have to add writing time to my day.
