Since Winter Came In

The sun is out today and I’m trying to push myself out to walk, but I’m not having much luck. I stepped out on the deck and I swear I could feel the cold sinking into my bones. I’ve missed two days though, so I must put my iPad down and get out a-warm coat. How are your walks going since the cold weather came in.

You should have seen how many layers of clothing I had on when I went out.

@RubyHawk Layers are the key for sure.

I hate walking this time of year. I live close to the mall so sometimes I will do mall walking on the days that it is too cold to go outside.

I could have gone to the gym but I’d rather walk outside.

I know about trying to push myself out. I've been doing that since July. I thought I could get my grandson to push me around the complex. But I talked myself out of it so many times here I am in mid-November. So, maybe in the Spring. I do stretches and upper body exercises. Breathing and yoga is where I am at.

@RubyHawk ...........Walking around inside is good too. Stretches are always a good idea.

I do some stretching and light weights but not enough since I haven’t been to the gym lately. Since it’s cold I’ll likely take time about walking and going to the gym.

@celticeagle I don't have much room for walking inside but there are stairs in the hall. But it's boring I walk an hour and I like to see the scenery.

The Christmas breeze seem to be gone for a while now and it's quite hot. If it is cold here many people have their walks outside

I'm ashamed to say I haven't walked in a long time. However, I ride the bike in the community room every day. I love the picture. I hope you went out for your walk.

@just4him It is, when I go to the gym I usually lift light weights, walk the treadmill thirty minutes, and ride the stationary bike thirty minutes.

That's good exercise too, When I go back to the gym, I'll ride the stationary bike. I did that last winter when the weather was bad.

It was a little warm still for the sweat pants I put on today, but I did it because the roads haven't been cleaned completely since Nicole. I didn't want to get cut up by flying sticks.

I find it difficult to go for walks in the cold weather, but it is easier before there is ice and snow to content with.

I wouldn't go out on the ice, I'd be afraid I'd fall and break my neck.

I have been walking from my car to whatever place I'm visiting. It's not that bad here. But for a sustained walk, I'd have a sweatshirt on.

Be careful outside though. Aren’t the roads slippery or something?
