I have gotten "tough" with myself about walking in inclement weather. Even on rainy days, absent gale-force winds or lightening, I put on rain gear and old walking shoes and walk for at least 20 minutes. Yesterday my 4 yo grandson & I walked for 35 minutes in "I'm going to blow away Grandma!" wind while Mommy worked & little brother napped.
I have a goal to walk 6 days a week, and except for a few days while feeling ill, I have managed all summer.
Do you have room for a small stationery bike or treadmill? You can often find them very cheap or free on neighborhood groups - my neighbor even delivered his to an older lady nearby who couldn't get it herself.

@sueinmn, Thank you for the suggestion and Rats! I gave my stationary bike a few years ago to a friend who has since moved away. Great idea and I appreciate the suggestion! This was before my balance issues, neuropathy diagnosis and increased osteoporosis. I just wasn't using the bike but now could put one to good use. Will look into this! Great people and suggestions reside here!

@sueinmn. I am giving my body a couple of days rest. I think i overdid it last week and my back and legs are screaming with protest. We are going to have extreme heat warning AGAIN, temperatures expected to be up to 100+. My daughter said it is projected to be 112° in her area. I feel drained. Saw this little fellow the otherbday obviouly not gluten sensitive, wonder where he got this from.
