Just got back from my first REAL walk since chemo 11 days ago. 5km, glorious colours in the sky and lots of roos  to keep me company.  Feeling so much better than a couple of days ago.

    Good on you @sister ! Once you get going it isn't too bad,  it's the little things, like heading aout for a walk, that keep you going. Tiny bits of normal. Marg xx

    I never had big jugs before @onemargie - certainly haven't now!  (but I'll always take a hug)

    Dear @Sister , walking means a lot for me too. I did not manage to walk more than 100 yards during chemo, but gradually built up after that. I have a lovely hill behind my house. Twenty minutes up and back - try and push myself going up, then stroll back down. I am an early morning person too, and it has been so hot here this summer. Here is my sunrise  shot from this morning as I stepped out. I have also started going to yoga once a week. It is very hard work, I can't do all the poses properly, but I still enjoy it. Best wishes for the rest of your chemo from jennyss in Western NSW

    What a gorgeous sunrise!  Being in a gully, we don't get the full effect of sunrise or sunset.

    It was still fully dark when I went out this morning - magic sky.  Full of stars with just the wispiest streaks of cloud.
