I absolutely SMASHED my steps goal today! My daily goal is 6000, so I’m well over. I feel quite tired, and a little bit sore… But I also feel good for it!

Last week, when I hit 10k, I was left in pain for days because I was stupid and didn’t respect my own limits. But today I did it slowly, bit by bit. Rather than doing it all in one go, alongside my sister who always speed walks, leaving me to practically jog to keep up with her, I took my time.

Today I went for three walks, at my own speed, and I took breaks during each walk. I also took my toddler nephew to the park, which we both really enjoyed.

Anyway… I just wanted to share something positive for a change, haha! I hope you’re all doing well. 😊

I did good today. I walked into the town centre with my sister and my nephew, AND walked back, too! Normally, I can only make it one way, so I’m super proud of myself. (Altogether it’s just under 3 miles).

AND, not only did I meet my daily step goal of 6,000… I also walked a further 3,096! I feel so good for it. I am so determined to lose this weight. I need to. I’m going to. I’ve got this! 💪

I love to write and I love to adapt songs and poetry. It's something I do for fun and it helps keep me grounded.

Written for my partner this morning:

You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
These days may be harder,
while skies are grey
But, don't you fret dear,
it's warmer when you're near,
and, together we will always find our way

I have officially have been walking for 7 days in a row and I have never walked this much in a row! For a young woman who struggles with depression and anxiety this is a huge deal for me! Even when it’s Been cold I still manage to get out and walk! I would always make excuses not to walk! Now walking is one of my favorite things to do! I love walking the trails! I have been walking for 1 week! I’m so so proud of myself! God is good! 🙌🏻😀❤️#Depression #Anxiety #EatingDisorders #Walking

Praying and walking

Feeling down? Put on your shoes and go for a walk. Did I hear you moan and say "not now"? That's okay - it's always your choice. I know how walking helps your biology stay balanced! Physical and mental health is linked in complex ways yet expressed in surprisingly simple strategies. So when you're mulling it over, take a peek at your shoes - they want to be outside!
