@artist01 Laurie, I chuckled a little with your comment about divulging your plan to your doctor. Now the pressure is on! But in truth, she’ll be delighted to hear your progress. Doctors need rewards too.
Be careful out there walking in the Canadian winter! Do you have some good walking grippers for your boots? I mentioned in another post about Yaktrax or similar for easier walking on snow and ice. Do you have someone to walk with you on your outdoor adventures? Though I imagine the walks are kept pretty cleared in your Senior living center. Where I am, we just received a new 8 inches of snow today!! My inner child is calling me to go outside! Take care but you keep right on going!! Lori.

Hi Lori. Yep, my doc plans to call me again today to check up on me (it's only Day 2, geez!). I live on Vancouver Island so our winter is usually moderate and not too snowy. We had snow last week, but it was gone in a day or two. Ice can be a problem because we are in the rain forest, but I will be walking after lunch, so not a worry most days. I wear my "Keen" footwear, which are a great hiking shoe. Loved your post!

I say, let out that inner child!
Yesterday I was trying to imagine ice skating again. Then came to my senses when I realized how stiff and hard skates are, I am sure my feet would be shouting at me to STOP before I even started. Then I thought perhaps I should invent a pair of wool boot skates with ankles that are more firm for people like me. Who will invest, LOL!!!
