@becsbuddy, @sueinmn, @gingerw and all....I've never scheduled of planned walking. Important concept, planning the day, for pain control in whole body/brain, so...We go from the low 70's to high 80's overnight and back. I plan to go out tomorrow to PT and a few errands to FedEx, so tomorrow may be not a walk day much. But, Sat will begin a day outside with my hot pink walker, if only for a short walk around the cul-de-sac...we'll see if that can be a beginning of some scheduled walking. To ck out the cypress tree and see if a nest is in sight!
Thanks, everyone for the great suggestions and support. What a real blessing. Elizabeth

Elizabeth - I find planning my walking into my day makes sure it gets done. For example, this morning I will start a load of laundry, then join my friend for a walk through our bird sanctuary. Some of my walks are very short - it all depends on my breathing. And I learned the hard way last summer to do my therapy (stretching) before I go - had to stop halfway one day and do it on a neighbor's bird-watching bench...
I can tell exactly which days I skip walking at all, I feel fidgety in the evening and don't sleep as well.
