This has not been a good #bookfitnesschallenge week for me. I‘ve only done the book part of the challenge — no fitness and my eating has been off. I had 3 different doctor‘s appointments this week. Next week, I‘ll have the cyst removal procedure, and the week after that, the first of 2 cataract surgeries. Couldn‘t swim because, of all things, I have an ear infection.Then I just got depressed and didn‘t walk either. 😞 #bfcr2 @wanderinglynn

TheEllieMo Sounds like a tough and stressful time for you. I hope the ear infection clears up soon, and good luck with the forthcoming procedures. Don‘t neglect the walking - it‘s been shown to help with depression. 5y
KathyWheeler @TheEllieMo You know, I know from my own experience that walking helps with depression— my walking is one of the reasons I don‘t need medication — I just haven‘t been able to bring myself to do it.😞 Tomorrow, however, I‘m determined, will be different. 5y

wanderinglynn We all have down weeks. It happens. But you‘re doing so well & making such great progress. You can do it! 🙌🏻 Just take one step at a time. Break it up into mini-walks: walk to your mail box, then walk a bit down the street, then a bit further. We‘re with you! 💜 5y
rockpools Kathy, I‘m so sorry - that sounds like a heck of a week. Hope everything goes well with the procedures, and boo to that ear infection! I think we need to swap walking locations tomorrow- your place looks beautiful. Big hugs and here‘s to Thursday 🌷 5y
KathyWheeler @wanderinglynn Thank you so much for your encouragement! 5y
KathyWheeler @RachelO I really is lovely here. I don‘t like to walk inside for that very reason. ❤️ 5y
Megabooks I‘m so sorry Kathy! I‘ve had a bit of an off start to the week myself and hadn‘t left the house until today, and I still haven‘t walked either. Let‘s make a pact to do it tomorrow. Take at least a half mile walk. I think we‘ll both feel better. As for your health problems, I understand. I‘ve had many, many surgeries. They are scary and not fun. I wish I could make yours go away. Hugs! 💙💙 5y
KathyWheeler @Megabooks I love the idea of a pact! I will walk at least a half mile around my neighborhood tomorrow and post about it. I know I‘ll feel better; I always do. They aren‘t big surgeries — I guess everything coming at once is getting to me. I‘ve been in the doctor‘s office more than I‘ve been at work! 5y
Megabooks @KathyWheeler ok!!! I will walk and post as well! 😊😊 5y
cobwebmoth I'm sorry you're having a rough week. *hugs* 5y
KathyWheeler @cobwebmoth Thanks! 5y
Emilymdxn I‘m so sorry to hear all this, that‘s more medical problems than anyone should have all at once. I hope that managing just a few steps will help generate enough motivation for a few more steps and that you manage to walk enough to feel a bit better. No pressure just support, your whole team is here for you 💖 5y
KathyWheeler @Emilymdxn Thank you. One of things I‘ve absolutely loved about Litsy, in general, and this challenge, in particular, is how supportive people are.❤️ 5y
cewilf Oh no! All of that is a lot to deal with all at once. You have the support of all of us! One thing at a time, only do what you can. 💕 The suggestion above to just do a little walking is such a good start! I‘ve been having a hard time getting moving this week too. We can do it! And I hope all of those procedures go well when they come 💜 5y
KathyWheeler @cewilf Thanks! I did get out today and I walked a little. My mood is greatly improved over yesterday! 5y
