Probably not going for a #GettingFit walk today.
Far too wet and windy.

Also, the weather's not very nice.

Forgot to mention earlier - on today's #GettingFit walk I saw my old car out in the wild, the car I sold last year when I gave up driving.
Feels a bit weird seeing it again. I've lost all desire to actually drive again, but I did love that car & it's reminded me of those carefree pre-hospital days!

Two straight railway tracks going beneath a road bridge.

Pushed on a little bit today, adding a minute or so to the total length of my #GettingFit walk. And felt the extra effort on the last homeward stretch - breathing hard, legs hurting! All good for the fitness levels though...
Went via the railway line - which was lovely.

Made it to the edge of the countryside today - first time this year & also the farthest I’ve walked this year. It’s not quite the equivalent distance to the local shop, let alone the trip back & the hilly bits too.
Hard work & breathless, but it’s progress towards the goal!
#GettingFit

Grey & chilly today on my #GettingFit walk. But the cranes are still there & apparently they’ve fallen out. (I reckon there’s a story in this.)

“Well if that’s how you feel, I’m off! And I’m taking my cable with me.”
“Don’t be like that!”
“Let him go. He’s not worth it.”
<duff duff duff-duff-duff>

Purdey Steed and Gambit merrily marching from the castle at the end of episode one of The New Avengers.

I’m setting myself a target for my #GettingFit walks: the local shop.
I could probably reach it now, but getting there *and* back (+ associated shopping) is currently beyond my fatigue & breathlessness & pain limits.
So I’m going be trying hard until the shop is doable.
Then, onward from there...

"He's back. Quick, act natural. Pretend we don't know each other."

(Seen on today's #GettingFit walk.)

Three giant cranes rising into the blue sky behind some leafless wintry trees.

Also on my #GettingFit walk I saw these three cranes over at the HS2 site.
They appeared to be gathered, having a chat, perhaps discussing why the puny humans are so stupid and how easy it will be to take over when the time is right.
#RiseoftheMachines

Wispy white clouds floating in a glorious blue sky. A contrail, warped by the winds of the upper sky, snakes across too. Below are trees and the roofs of houses. A bare, leafless tree sits in the foreground to the left.

A nice 10-min walk today. Nothing too strenuous to start the new week.
Sliiightly breathless, legs hurting a little bit, but it was wonderful to out in the beautiful sunshine.

I think I’m finally starting to tone up from all the swimming.

Not sure yet whether I'll be going for my #GettingFit walk today.
After a couple of good days I'm feeling a bit rough again this morning - abdo pain, nausea, etc. Feels like two steps forward, one step back...

Today’s walk: around 10 mins
Not bad. Legs still a bit achy from yesterday, but it feels wonderful to be out.
Few more ~10-min walks & I’ll start adding some extra distance & push on.
#GettingFit
I managed 15-18 mins fairly well in 2024/25, so the big target is now >20 mins... (and beyond!)

Just been for a wander round the garden and it's beautiful out there.
Sunny and warm - and the Moon is high in the sky.
After my earlier #GettingFit walk too, I'm feeling like my 2026 is finally starting...

Grey heavy clouds above bare wintry trees with grass below. There is a clump of daffodils bravely poking through the grass. And in the distance, over at the HS2 works, there's crane reaching to the sky.

Finally been out for a proper walk today. Hooray!
#GettingFit
It was only ~10 mins, but it’s the furthest I’ve managed in 2026 because of health & the weather. Going to be trying to walk more often from now on, because I'm exhausted & have clearly lost a lot of the vague fitness I did have.

All my weight loss and fitness efforts continue to pay off. I've lost another 3.1 lbs since last Monday's weigh-in. This is somewhat atypical but woo-hoo I'll take it. #WW #Fitness #GettingFit #SlowAndSteady #TrackingFoods #IncreasedActivity #FeelingBetter

Just been out for my regular #GettingFit walk - and I feel like I’m getting *less* fit at the moment.
I can’t breathe properly, my legs hurt and I’m utterly exhausted!
Maybe it’s the cold, damp and grey atmosphere slowing me down...

A hazy street scene in the twilight. Trees and a lamppost adorn the silhouetted roadscape and a single spreading pinkish contrail is highlighted in the greying sky.

Saved up my #GettingFit walk today for a late afternoon twilight stroll.
Christmas lights sparkling in windows, sun-pinked contrails decorating the darkening sky...
...beautiful!

An expanse of lush green grass, with leafless trees on the far boundary and a couple of twiggy trees in the foreground. There are wooden stumps in a line across the near edge of the grass and a lamppost. The sky is a beautiful blue.

Beauitful today on my #GettingFit walk.
Bit chilly on my hands, so I probably should have taken my gloves, but other than that very enjoyable.

Running in the countryside:
good idea 👍
Running with brand new, never worn shoes: not the best idea 🤦‍♀️
I hope they get more comfy over time.

A BT telephone box that has been transformed into an emergency defibrillator.

First proper walk today for ~2 weeks because of the recent cold temps & general fitness issues. Legs achy & wobbly, lungs struggling, but happy to be out.
#GettingFit
Did see, though, that our local phone box is now an emergency defibrillator. What a good idea. Might come in handy for me one day...!

Babys first spin class right here and boy, didnt this wear me out 😂 but in an effort to get back in shape ill be doing it again today 🫠 #weightloss #gettingfit #exercise

That Sunday night feeling….
All showered & clean after a long walk about town to get those steps in on a lazy Sunday.
Film time & relax just like Sundays should be.

What started out as a quick walk turned into a very satisfying long walk.The sun was shining so it seemed daft not to continue for a longer & get those steps in whilst the weather is lovely.
Oh and I’ve lost another kg so I’m a happy boy this week !
