Trying to just incorporate more movement into everday - go upstairs when I go past them, walk up and down the garden a few times. Working up to walking outside.
- Likes
- The idea that I can turn this condition around with my own actions. Sleeping, eating, being very still indeed which will make the first thing more difficult! Oh and my husband, cats and great danes. :)
- Dislikes
- Being so totally lazy. The thought of having any of my body chopped off or going blind - incentive enough to make the changes I need to prevent that, even if I have to start {gasp} exercising.
Any form of animal cruelty or abuse. Globalisation, americanisation and homogenisation of everything from our high streets to our regional dialects. Any form of injustice.
