It’s heartening to know that grannies can still find time for themselves…..I’m trying to work on that one but I agree that walking is the best workout ever and we should try to increase the steps we take in our lives to count 10,000 steps each day
BellyBytes, I’m encouraged that you’re trying to find time for yourself! I understand the dilemma! My daughter works and hour and a half away so she leaves a t dawn and comes home after 8 pm, which leaves the childcare and household duties up to me!
On days where the youngest isn’t in preschool (half day) I don’t always get my walk in. After all a four year old can’t keep up! If the weather cooperates then I take her to the playground and walk small laps around the area where she’s playing… If it’s raining we might go to the store, and even off all I need is milk I’ll walk up and down all the aisles to get my walking in, while she sits in the shopping cart!
A challenge is when I have all three on a rainy day and we go to the grocery store!
I prefer getting in a solitary walk since it’s a good time to recharge my batteries but that’s not always possible!
Sorry for the delayed thank you for reblogging! I must have accidentally deleted the email letting me know, and I rarely go to the master list of comments! I guess I should do that more often!
Great idea for walking more. I love walking and alternate with months at the gym when Delhi gets too hot to walk outside unless you’re doing it early morning – which is when I have to get to work since I’m also a teacher. Good luck with the A to Z challenge and I hope your health issues get better soon.
I heard that Delhi gets stiffling in the heat, so a gym is a smart idea to avoid heat exhaustion! Thank you so much for your good thoughts! Wishing you all the best too with the AtoZ Challenge!
We’re kindred spirits of ‘Walking’!! Wonderful post! Like you, finances didn’t allow gym memberships and I headed to the county parks (plus all the tips you mention). Now, in retirement, I’ve invested in a fitness center membership. It’s preventive and social so I love it! 🙂
