Peripheral Vascular Disease / Symptoms /Treatment / Walking My Way Back To Fitness / Vlog…. 

Aw thank you so much for saying that, I hope I did because the fear is the worst thing, it stops people going to the GP, so if my vlog has encouraged 1 person to seek help, job done, us ladies should all be helping each other, and hopefully have a laugh along the way 😂❤️❤️❤️

Oh that’s fabulous Rita, yessss join me, we can motivate each other 🥰

Here’s the link to the declutter video Margaret…ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0XTSryAoteE.htmlsi=tomzdLMsjqtde99J it’s a big one haha hope it gives you the push you need ❤️❤️❤️

Wow thank you Pam, oh I’ll be so glad if I’ve inspired you to start walking again, it’s starting that’s the hardest, I’ve made myself a chart, I tick off every day, it sounds silly, but it helps me to keep going, I don’t want a space with no tick in it lol 😂❤️

Aw thank you for that Chris, what lovely things you’ve said. I’m glad I remind you of home 🥰

Oh wow Marylin, yes you were very lucky, as was I. My carotid was the same, and the one in my tummy], cholesterol that caused it in my case. Well done on the weight loss, that’s amazing, hope I manage it too xxx

Hi Julie, your story is so very sad, all that fitness and then you suffer a heart attack, it’s just not fair is it. You sound like such a positive person, and very determined to get back to good health. It sounds like you’re well on your way too. I will take your advice and try and do some strength training whilst I’m on the treadmill, my balance isn’t good so I’ll have to do one side at a time, so that I can hold on with one hand. I have one or two other health things going on, but I will definitely try and up my game. Thank you for telling me about yourself Julie… take care and keep in touch with me please 🥰🥰🥰

Oh Denise, I feel his pain, my leg was shocking before I had the stent put in, and I put up with it because the drs didn’t seem to be taking me serious, it was only after I had a mini stroke the they started to listen, the artery to my leg was nearly completely blocked when they put the stent in, it’s ridiculous really. I’m so glad they sorted it out for him, it’s just a shame that we have to suffer for so long before anything is done. Anyway, I can’t run a marathon, but I can certainly walk for quite a way before it hurts so all is good. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

I do that too when the weather's bad...its a great feeling when you hit the 10,000 steps. Well done 👏

You are so right, I used to try and walk up and down my drive, but because there’s a slight incline, it killed me, and I gave it up. As you say, treadmills aren’t necessary for everyone, but it was the best solution for me. I think sometimes it’s all too easy to slip into sitting down for long periods, so I try to move around more these days 🥰🥰🥰

I also wear a Fitbit. I look and think I’m ready to stop but can find that I’ve walked 8,000 steps, only 10 more minutes and I’ve done it and carry on and walk a little faster to meet that 10 minute target. Build it up Lynn steady and slowly. Every time I put the kettle on, I walk until it boils. You soon reach your target without even noticing. As a side note I’m addicted to Temu. Loving the hauls 😀😃

@@user-qb1hf2cp7e oh I’m going to start wearing mine as well, I forget I have it. And I’m going to walk when the kettles on, what a fab idea…. Also watch out, I have another couple of Temu hauls coming up, a fashion one with try on, and a mixed one ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you 😊

Thanks so much Janet ❤️

Love that Julie, thank you very much ❤️

Thank you Hazel, I’m delighted, can’t believe how quickly it’s happened, but I’m blown over ❤️

I hope so Janet, worth sharing if it does, so many of us just get on with it, and don’t go to the drs when we should …🥰

Hi Fiona, what lovely comments, I’m really pleased you think that way, and it’s very nice of you to say so. ❤️❤️

Aw thank you Shirley, now that I know, I’m really determined, 🥰

Oh Kathy have you really, you must let me know how you go on. I hope they can do something for you, it’s not nice is it….I miss out on so many things, but hopefully we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves very soon ❤️❤️

Oh that’s wonderful Jeanette, it’s so good to hear that some people are inspired to join me, honestly it makes me feel so motivated to carry on myself, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Trish, I’m so sorry about your friend, it’s sad when your health deteriorates. I will definitely keep walking now albeit in the garage. Its so nice that you feel I’m like a friend, that’s my purpose on RU-vid, and what I want for my channel. Oh you’ve done it, I want a slice of lemon drizzle now 🙈 xx

You should Margaret, do it with me, I’d love that, we can inspire each other 🥰

Oh I’m on it Margaret 🥰

Thank you so much, I hope I have, we all need to care more about ourselves don’t we. Especially as we get older ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you enjoyed it Marie, from the comments I’ve had it seems like it’s gone down well, thankfully 🥰

Aw Gail, thank you so much, it’s nice that your coming along for the ride ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much! I’m getting to know quite a few people here in the comments too, 😊

Oh how lovely, thank you Paula, and welcome to my channel. Are you a Lancashire lass then 🥰

Haha I look like you! Have health issues and 4’ 11! Get likened to the late Barbara Windsor! 😂 But I am a brummie now living in Worcester! Keep up the good work! 😊

Oh and my husband keeps everything! No spare space for me! 😂😂

Aw thank you for listening Lynda 🥰

Hi Yvonne, thank you so much. I will definitely be dancing the minute I can xxx ❤️

Thanks so much! 😊 what a lovely thing to say. And thank you for watching my videos 🥰

Oh hi Sandra, well you might think your garage looks ok once you’ve seen what mine was like hahaha, but if it gives you the motivation to start to sort it out, my jobs done 😊 if you need my help to get you going, just shout ❤️

Oh wow Sandra, we that will spur me on for sure, I’m mainly doing it for my legs, but I will definitely be happy if I can lose a little bit of weight along the way 🥰🥰🥰

Awww that’s so lovely, I’m happy with that for sure 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hi Gillian, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s terrible when your legs hurt. I quite enjoy the treadmill, my leg hurts but I keep going. I’m a 3rd the way through my challenge, so fingers crossed it’s doing something. Oh wait till you see the mess 🙈 I’m embarrassed 😳❤️❤️❤️

I know, it’s surprising, and drs tend not to think of a blocked artery when you complain of achy legs, they always assume it’s coming from your back, i knew it was blocked arteries, but how can you tell your dr he’s wrong. Walking is the best thing I can do for my legs, hence the treadmill, I would never think to go for a walk by myself, it just wouldn’t happen, so the treadmill in the garage works for me. I hope you find a way that suits you Chrissie, our health is so important ❤️

Thank you, I will do ❤️

I haven’t used it since my shingles episode, I need to get back on it, you’ve reminded me Jennifer so thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Wendy, and thank you. I might have to look into tia chi, it sounds interesting x 🤞it’s a good result 🥰

Fingers crossed, thank you Kathy xx

Aw thank you Rosemary, I try to be, glass half full and all that, I don’t always manage it, but I try hard ❤️❤️🥰

Aw thank you Susan, I have lots of stories, I could write a book lol 😂 you know I’m very lucky really, in comparison to a lot, I only have to look at my close circle to see that. We all have stuff to deal with don’t we 🥰

Oh Terri, I’m thrilled that you will do that, do it with me and we’ll see if it helps us 🤗

Hiya Cher, thank you so much. Oh it takes over your life doesn’t it, caring for your parents, I had the same with my mum, she never lived with me, but I went to her house every day from about 8am till early evening, she had Alzheimer’s, set fire to her house and all sorts. I know how hard it is….I was the same as you, only going out for shopping after the pandemic, I actually like lockdown, it gave me permission in a way, to stay home. I love my home, and it’s my favourite place to be still. So the treadmill is my way of exercising without the stress of going out. But that’s more difficult for you under the circumstances. You are an angel for looking after your dad, when I had to eventually take mum to a care home, for her own safety, and my sanity, I got a job there to make sure she was looked after properly, and I walked miles, every shift I did. Kept me fit, but my legs hurt so much I had to stop after 5 yrs. so anyway I’m rambling now, look after yourself, because you matter too ❤️❤️❤️

@@Nanna-Mawww thanks so much Lynn for your kind words, I'm so sorry for all you went through with your mum and can only imagine how hard and exhausting it must have been for you, so stressful. Lots of love to you and yours and thank you for being here, so happy to see your channel growing and appreciate all the time and effort it takes to make videos xx🤗❤️

Hi Sally, oh it’s just a thing that comes with age I suppose, bits get worn out, pipes get blocked, and hair grows where you don’t want it, and falls out where you do.. yes I’ll be showing my treadmill on the end of the 30 day challenge video xxx 🥰

@@Nanna-M I know the feeling Lynn🤣🤣me too🤣 will look forward to your results, and details of the treadmill💕

Flippin ek Julie, sounds like you’ve had it tough, I have glaucoma, a small cataract in one eye, had a mini stroke, dropping to bits really lol 😂 but we carry on and do the best we can don’t we…. Let’s all try and get a bit fitter 🥰

Ah thank you Beryl, I don’t mind you laughing lol it’s the best medicine ever, I’m just waiting for a scan on my back now so hopefully it’ll get sorted out soon ❤️🌹❤️

Hi there, thank you so much for the lovely comments, if you do get one, let me know, I’d love to hear how you get on with it, we could compare notes 🤗 xxx

Jean, your like me, I worked for NHS for years and LCC, walked miles…maybe I wore my legs out lol, but seriously, please go get checked out, ask your GP to test the pulse in your legs, do your feet get cold? I’m really happy that your inspired to do something, do it with me and we can motivate each other… 🥰

Sorry to hear you have health issues Carole, but it’s good to hear that you keep going. I’ve never tried yoga myself, but I may introduce it to my exercise routine. I’ll take a look at some RU-vid videos, see if I fancy it 🥰

Thank you so much Maureen ❤️❤️

Thank you so much, yes it’s definitely important 🥰

Hi Veronica, the pain was in both legs, they put a stent in my groin, and it helped lots with the left leg, but made no difference to the right. I’ve had further tests, and they think the pain is coming from my spine, so I have an MRI scan on the 14th May, so hopefully we will get to the bottom of it then. But meanwhile the treadmill is fabulous exercise for my legs, and the treadmill fits my lifestyle best. I hope you get to where you want to be with your exercise routine, and I really appreciate you watching my videos ❤️❤️❤️

Oh that’s nice Shirley, welcome, it’s nice that you’re here. I see you’ve watched an oldish video, I wanted to share this because it might help someone go to the gp if they’re suffering the same symptoms, we ladies often just put up with aches and pains don’t we ❤️🌹❤️

@@Nanna-M yes we do. X

Hi Linda, thank you. It’s took a while, but I got there in the end. How lovely that you feel safe and secure where you live. I live in a village, but we’ve had quite serious crimes committed not too far away, and it just makes me very nervous. Of course it would be extremely rude to pass by and not call in to have a cheeky little drink lol x oh if I’d have known that I’d have hired you myself haha x have a glass of wine when you watch, it might stress you out it’s that bad. We’ve worked solid on this house since the beginning of lockdown, done it all ourselves, in between working, prior to retiring, doing a complete damp course in my daughters house, rewire , plaster, redecorate, new everything, and a mountain of more work here. So you can imagine the rubbish, everyone’s bits and bobs etc etc, a total disgrace, but we’ve done it. I feel like a massive weights been lifted, omg I’m rambling lol….take care sweet lady xxx

Your house looks beautiful, such good taste 😊. Yes helping family and working and having parents and their needs is certainly full on, but dearest Lynn you are doing just great. Keep being you, it's really not a rehearsal. It's so wonderful how you seem to of motivated so many ladies already, Lynn The Motivator, your new title 👍❤️. I will watch the decluttering with interest 😂😜🤣. So pleased it's now been done, you must be so thrilled, it always feels like a load has been lifted. Sorry to hear about the crime nearby but pleased you've got a treadmill, as you say you can do this in any weather, result. I've lost one pound in my first week. Use the weights for strength, which apparently is important. I've found a lovely lady on RU-vid who does short videos of fitness so do them now and again which I've been enjoying. Good luck with everything. We're all routing for you, Linda ❤️

Aw thank you so much Anni, I wonder who the man was, it definitely wasn’t someone from this end lol xx well done on the weight loss too. I do hope I can inspire anyone that wants to get a little bit fitter ❤️❤️❤️

@Nanna-M I was that freaked out, I flung my head phones out of the door in to garden. I felt proper infiltrated- spied upon.

Well I’m not surprised, I think I’d have done the same, strange men taking in your headphone, what’s going on 😳 xx

Oh wow Linzi, that’s amazing really it is. That’s a massive amount to lose, I’m so pleased for you. That’s really encouraged me to keep it up, thank you so much for sharing that with me 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you very much Helen, that’s so inspirational, I like the little by little, and bit by bit, I think you’re absolutely bob on with that advice. I will definitely keep it up, I’m determined. I’m so happy for you, 10kg is a lot, I’m not in any hurry, just want to help myself as much as I can. I feel that if the consultant is good enough to do his bit, I should be respectful and do mine… so, onwards and upwards ❤️❤️❤️

Ahhh nanny, your so lovely. I don’t even know I’m doing it nanny till I watch it back, I make myself laugh sometimes, isn’t it strange how we see ourselves so much different than the camera does. I’m really, really enjoying myself nanny xxx 🥰

Oh wow nanny, that is food for thought 🤔 xxx

😊 🌻 😊 🌻😊xx

Aw thank you so much for subscribing Carol, I’m over the moon about that. The main reason- I’m walking is to improve the circulation in my legs, I’m just interested to see if going from no walking, to 30 mins a day, has any effect on my weight or my measurements. We will see ❤️

Hi Bethany, I’m so interested to see if I’ve lost any inches, it’s the naughty biscuit fairy, she keeps calling me to eat them haha 😂 and my portion sizes are far too big, I’ve got myself one of those plates with the portions on it, so 🤞I stick to it. I like ice cream lollies too 🙈xxx

OMG Bernie, you broke your back 😳 I’m so sorry to hear that. Well as soon as your better, I’ll join you in a boogy round the kitchen lol 😂 oh do take care darling ❤️

Aw Veronica, thank you for putting me on your short list, that’s so nice of you. I gave up on September the 14th 2014 so around about the same time then and it’s one of the best thing’s I’ve ever done, I do occasionally get that thing where you say, “ could just smoke a cigarette “ but only for a second. I would never never ever have another. As for the money, well if you keep watching my videos you will know where mines gone hahaha. Anyway it’s very nice to meet you ❤️

Hi June, your poor hubby, I’m not doing the yoga June, because they wanted to take about 30 something pound subscription, so I thought not on your Nellie. So I’m just doing the treadmill for now, trying to cut down on sweet things, and move around more day to day. There might be free yoga workouts on RU-vid, you could have a look on there ❤️❤️❤️

Mmmm Jeanie, I’ve never heard of that one….you’ll have to let me know if it works, and if you feel healthier too x good luck with it, maybe do it with me, you do carnivore, and I’ll walk 🥰🥰🥰

@@Nanna-M I’ll let you know when I start! Wish me luck!

Hello thank you so much for subscribing, I really do appreciate it. Yes I think my story helped one or two, we tend to put up with things, thinking it’s to be expected as we eat older, but it can be dangerous. A few people said they called the GP after watching the video, as they had similar symptoms. And also with you Rachel, I hope is well in Nashville 🙏🏻😘❤️

Oh Hi And a warm welcome to you. I’m so sorry to hear that you broke your leg, but happy to hear that your on the mend and walking again. I’m on day 17 of my 30 day challenge, and I’ve increased from 20 mins to 30 mins, going to up it to 40 mins on day 20. Some days it hurts more than others, but I power through. I figure if the surgeon did his bit, then I should do mine. I’ll pop over to your channel and have a look, maybe get some tips, so thank you for sharing 🥰

@@Nanna-M Well done! I am increasing my step target each week by 500 but have been managing to do more. The better weather has enabled me to get out for longer walks with our young Working Cocker Spaniel 🐶 Keep up the good work xx

Oh have you Susan, sounds like you have a good one, mine will fit underneath a desk or bed, but you have to take the handle off, I’m a bit disappointed with it for that reason, but I was so desperate to get going I kept it. I’m so sorry to hear about your condition, and I hope all goes well with the treadmill. We have to keep going don’t we ❤️❤️

Awesome! Thank you Mary, ❤️❤️❤️

Oh wow Lou, that’s what I had, and when they scanned me, my carotid artery was nearly completely blocked, I’d been very unwell for well over a year before, and gp just didn’t take my symptoms serious. Very dangerous really, but I don’t dwell on it, I got sorted in the end. I hope you’re all ok now ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Christine, wow it sounds like you are a very active lady, we all need to take care of ourselves more, don’t we xx

Oh I’m sorry you’ve been poorly Mary, I have a friend that’s just completed her treatment, and she gets tired too. Take care my dear 🥰

Oh fabulous Dolly, if they cure my other leg I may well do that. You sound very active, and that’s the very best thing ❤️

Woo woo thank you Sandra, early fifties 🤭 xxx sorry to hear you have back problems though, very painful. I’m the worst swimmer, I have to be where my feet will touch the bottom of the pool or I panic. My treadmill was £149 off eBay, it’s basic, bout does what I need it to. So you’re like me with the baking, bake it, eat it, repeat haha 😂 my next video on Sunday is the garage declutter, then I think I’m doing Temu fashion, with try on, so at the end of that one, I might ask for questions…..not quite decided yet. I will try and eat sensibly like you, so thank you for the inspiration sweet lady 🥰

Hi Eileen, it certainly is, and it’s much easier to gain weight than to lose it for sure. It’s a good exercise, my consultant recommended me to do it. I chose the treadmill because it’s perfectly flat, I can use it all weathers, and I can watch a RU-vid video while I’m on there. Win win. Oh no, you can do without medication if it’s at all possible. Take care, sending much love ❤️🥰❤️

Hi Susan, I’ve had my specs for about 3 to 4 years, just had new lenses put in when I have my eyes tested. I got them from spec savers and they’re Karen Millen. Oh I can’t see a thing without them, not to read anyway. Thank you for the lovely comment by the way, ❤️

Thank you Lynn.. I have an eye test at 👓 Specsavers this morning so I’ll have a 👀! Happy Thursday 😊

@@susangibson401 how funny is that, I’ll,keep my fingers crossed they still have them 🤓

Hi Charley, drs make my blood boil when they say that, they should be looking into why it’s hurting,Mio back and tell him you want some investigations…. Awww bless you 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing that with me, it’s very positive, and I’m all for that for sure, it’ll keep me going 🥰

Oh poor you Tina, that’s so hard to manage, it must be torture. I’m not sure how I’d cope with that really. My appointment is 1st Sept, so fingers crossed for treatment xx

Oh Katie, good luck for next Friday, I hope it’s not too painful and your back home pretty soon. My lord, you’ll be like a new woman with 2 new knees, amazing 🥰

@@Nanna-M Hi it’s just a two night stay in hospital all being well..so this vain old bird has had her eyebrows and eyelash tinted, don’t want to scare everyone 🤣xx

Absolutely fabulous, I’m a fan 100% 🥰🥰🥰

Hi Shelley, thank you, I go to see the consultant on the 1st Sept, so fingers crossed ❤️ I’ve just had 3 choc biccies 🙈 xx

I’m so sorry to hear that Nicola, do you drink milky coffee by any chance 🤔 xx

@@Nanna-M yes I do lynn all the time x

Thank you very much Eileen, yes it’ll be interesting, I hope I’ve changed a little bit, I’m not expecting miracles but a tiny difference will spur me on x ❤️

Really Nellie, it’s good that it can be managed with medication, hope you don’t mind me asking, but have you had high cholesterol too xxx

@@Nanna-M yes I did. this was 23 years ago, I saw GP on return from Tenerife , he asked if I had been reading a medical dictionary as I was describing text book PVD, I was prescribed Ramipril ,asprin and a statin, I asked how long would I need to take the meds and was told until there was something better , I understand there now is ,I am still on original meds . I had ultrasound check on my neck and thankfully that was clear my problem was from my calf through to my ankle , I have always walked a lot so was relieved when my symptoms improved and walking became a pleasure again, However I dont walk much now as I am very unsteady on my feet and an scared of falling and I do feel an odd twinge in my calf but as I am now 81 I suppose it is to be expected , good luck with your treatment, hope you can get by without further surgery x

We have classes nearby, I’ve never heard of that one though, it sounds good. Oh what a shame for your Ma in law, my left leg is so much better, but apparently my right leg is caused by something completely different, so awaiting tests for that. But that procedure has improved my life no end. ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry to hear that Sandra, really I am…I hope they e given you something to help with it, and may I say that I li e your attitude ❤️❤️❤️

Anne, walking partners a really good idea, go for it 🥰

Hi Maria, I know, I used to work nights in a care home and I can’t tell you how many steps we did in a night shift, I had to give it up because of the legs. Well, I had felt unwell for some time, very tired, fuzzy head, etc, but the main thing was what they call kaleidoscope vision, it gradually got worse over approx 2 years, nobody was listening to me. It’s like, you know when the tv losing signal and all you can see is wavy lines, we’ll part of, or all of my vision would be like that. It could last a few minutes, or longer in some cases, going into hours. Anyway, one day we were in the car coming back from a few errands, when my lip started to tingle, but more severe than a little tingle, it went down my chin and up to my nose. I told my husband and I could tell as I was speaking that my mouth wasn’t moving properly. It lasted about 1pm is then subsided. I rand 111 when we got home, they told me to go to AE immediately, my bp was 222, and it went from there really. They sent me for a scan, etc etc, my carotid artery was over 95% blocked. I’ve been tremendously lucky really, I was a ticking time bomb for a major stroke or worse. I knew that there was something wrong me, but trying to convince GPS these days isn’t easy, even getting an appointment is a marathon task. And all this was during Covid too xx I hope you are ok and not worried about yourself, you can ask me anything, I don’t mind at all x ❤️

@@Nanna-M so glad you got the treatment you needed. I was just interested in your story. I know how you feel about your legs, I had bursitis in my left hip and the pain in my leg was horrendous so to have pain in both must be agony! Hopefully won’t be too long before they do your other leg, keep smiling 😊

Oh Debs, no nobody’s ever said that, but I quite like that you think I do, I like Fern… well the naughty stuff tastes the best haha, but I must cut it down for the good of my health. Aw how lovely, dancing on a cruise as well…wonderful ❤️❤️❤️

Really Linda, 2 new hips, your like brand new…it’s so rewarding once you start, makes you feel uplifted, so if I can do it, anyone can. Good luck 🥰🥰🥰

Oh Morag, sounds like you’ve got a lot going on, but you sound like you are a very positive lady, getting on with it….I hope you stay well ❤️

Wow Katie, you’ve done really well, my hungry time is evening, which is bad I know. I’ll try and steal some of your willpower and stop eating after 7 ❤️❤️❤️

@@Nanna-M ❤️ Yes not easy, good luck again.

Hello lovely, it must be an age thing this weight gain, in fact I know it is, and it’s so difficult to shift it. I put 2 lb on this holiday, I expected it to be more to be honest, but I’m back on the healthy eating now, and my treadmill, so hopefully it’ll come off slowly. So yes, good luck to both of us 🙏🏻❤️

Hello Christine, wow you have been through the mill haven’t you. Healthy eating and exercise is the very best thing you can do, I’m trying to eat as healthy as possible but I do slip sometimes, I don’t beat myself up about it, I just get back on to it the day after. I will do a health update very soon, it won’t be a dedicated video, I’ll add it to another, possibly a Q&A I have coming up. Reading your story tells me that you’ve had it worse than me, my investigations are still ongoing, you know how bad our NHS is at the moment, so busy it’s unreal. Thank you for being interested Christine, it’s very much appreciated, and I do hope you enjoy my channel ❤️

Unfortunately it's not the only health issue I've had (a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma back in the early '90s, successfully treated). These things make you stronger and more resilient. This helped me to assist my daughter aftershe suffered a brain haemorrhage three years ago. We're both absolutely fine now and and although she's been left with a mental disability she too walks miles every single day. ❤

@@christinecoates2499 OMG how much is this world going to throw at you, you poor woman, that’s far too much. I’m so sorry your daughter has suffered a brain haemorrhage, such a scary thing, I had a mini stroke and that was bad enough. As you say, all these things make us stronger, we have no choice but to get on with what life gives us…. Much love to you and your daughter ❤️❤️

@@Nanna-M thank you so much Lynn❤

Wow 45 mins every day is good, I’m sorry you have several health issues, I can tell my hips are deteriorating, but I suppose they’re worn out….it’s nice that you have someone to walk with, I need to be walking on the flat, that’s why I opted for the treadmill, along with the anxiety of walking out alone. Yes cake and 🍪 are my weakness too. Thank you for commenting, take care 🥰🥰🥰

@@Nanna-M Yeah I walk on the flat. Cant do inclines these days. When I look back at the days of me doing high impact Aerobics,no wonder my joints are sore 😂I have Arthritis which doesn't help but keeping active is the key. You take care too x

Hi Barbara, yes I can do supermarkets most of the time, provided my legs aren’t already aching. But if your anything like me, I stop a lot looking at things, and occasionally straightening shelves hahaha, my husband won’t shop with me very often because I’m in there forever. Once they start hurting though, I’m outta there sharpish. I like your philosophy 🥰🥰🥰

Lynn I just watched this again. It makes me laugh out loud when you said “l came back from THAT walk and FLOPPED on the settee 😂 I know it’s a serious subject but it’s good if we can laugh. My husband has had atrial fibrillation for 12 years. He’s recently had some more tests at Chester. Phone call out the blue sending him to London Royal free for further tests. We were gobsmacked. Stay well xx

@@Barbara-yj5tl aw I’m glad I can make you laugh Barbara, especially when you’re going through that. It’s a worry, and I don’t what you think, but drs and consultants don’t seem to be as rushed as they used to be, to sort you out, it takes ages to get an appointment, I’m glad your hubbys got one quick, and I so hope they can sort the AF out… I’ll be thinking about you ❤️

🥰❤️🥰

Oh Julie, that’s made my day, join me on the journey, you could keep me updated as to how it’s going if you don’t mind, yea I have a treadmill twinnie 🥰

Well that gives me hope Joan, so thank you for sharing that with me. As you say the word diet just spells failure to me, but eating healthier is much more positive. Good on ya for the giving up smoking as well, food tastes so much better that’s the only thing haha 😂 xxx

Oh yes, I too watch RU-vid, and the time passes a lot quicker. I’m thinking of going up to 30 minutes now, I’m on my 10th day so a 3rd of the way through. Thank you for the motivation, it’s nice that we can all help each other 🥰🥰🥰
