Hey there Tinny,

Glad you posted this. A friend of mine called around 4 this afternoon and wanted me to go to the park with my dog and take a walk.

I had to pass. Been on an additional blood pressure med since Friday and am not functioning to well.

But this post is encouraging and I'll try to walk my dog tomorrow so he won't be so cranky.

Hard to believe I used to do an awful lot of hiking in AK. Still have some of my gear. I just can't part with it.

Sure is hard for some of us to start out slow.
I use to only have two gears, fast and sleep!! You know how that is I'm sure.

Keep up the good work and I'll try tomorrow. [Smile]

I did a little bit more than cobweb. The most exercise I had this week was the different positions they twist you when getting a mammogram.
OUCH!!!!!!

OMG!! I made it! 50 minutes of walking! My hips hurt right now and I'm sweating like a pig!

Sure hope it helps the dog!! Maybe he won't be so cranky now.

Will try 3 times a week if my hips don't hurt so bad.

Guilt is a great motivater for me. LOL [Big Grin]

Hats here checking in to say the hiking went great this weekend. Yes that was me on the trail with the giant sun hat, bandana & gloves. My nose got kinda red from the sun despite the hat.

I did 90 mins on Saturday & 2 hrs of steeper terain on Sunday These were the first hikes in at least 10 years where my knees didn't hurt at all. I felt great while hiking AND I felt great after. I didn't have the rush of toxins, sudden herxing, extreme fatigue, nerve pain or any of the other symptoms that used to cascade in right after any exertion.

Today I'm tired, worked from home, had to nap for an hour and now I'm going to haul myself into the tub for an Epsom soak. Taking a day off from exercise. Will resume tomorrow.

Wishing I felt better today but happy with my progress considering that 2 years ago just tying my hiking boots would have wiped me out. Last spring I was able to do easy short hikes but really paid the price after.

For those who are where I was a few years back I recommend supported yoga. I got the book Relax & Renew. Just walking to my bed to get a pillow to use for the pose was tough back then. I did feel better when I did the poses. Now they seem incredibly easy but back then it was a lot harder to do one simple stretch than it is to hike today. I've had to ramp up very slowly from doing 2 legs lifts to walking a little, to stretching.... Sometimes I thought I was lazy but looking back I know I wasn't. I was too sick to move at all.

Now it seems like the exercise is essential to get the rest of the ketes out of hiding. Hoping to be able to do 4 hour hikes in the Spring.

hey lymeinhell

shopping counts. Theres alot of walking involved in shopping [Smile]

Went to the grocery store.

Any body else but does the grocery store suck the life blood out of ya?

You have to walk around-lift all the stuff onto the belt-back into your car-and then home-into the cabinets.

I think grocery shopping should be considered an olympic event. [Smile]

I need a nap [sleepy]

Walked to the car. Drove 35 miles to work. Worked 9 hours then drove 35 miles home.

Hit the rebounder for 30 minutes and another 15 minutes of abs.

I REALLY much prefer shopping physical therapy.

(And I got rid of grocery shopping duty to hubby when I was too sick to push the cart. Always hated it anyway - guilt made him take over. Thank you Lyme disease - you actually did ONE thing for me [woohoo]
