I'd like to start a thread on how you can get yourself out there every day, if not just for a couple hours.
My latest: Go out to eat!
My particular choice that is my fave is Olive Garden. They are KNOWN for their very inexpensive, all you can eat lunches! So for $6.99 (in my area at least) you can go and have unlimited soup or salad and an entrée to boot.
It is a little bit more expensive ($8.99) on weekends. You do the math though, it's not terribly expensive to justify and the added bonus is you get to save on dish cleaning afterwards, too!
I try to make the rest of my daily food intake light ( a couple of pieces of toast and fruit in the morning, ditto for evening) and take in the bulk of my food at Olive Garden so that it balances itself out.
I often will strike up a convo with the waiter/waitress...I'm into essential oils, so the one I had yesterday gave me a compliment on my scent (even though I hadn't used one in a while, must have been from my sweatshirt hoodie LOL...).
Another one I focused on this spring was to go for long walks. There's a particular pond I walk to although it's far from where I live, I get about 25K steps in when I walk it round trip. I'll see people by the pond and although I usually don't strike up a conversation it is still enthralling to think what wildlife I might see (I got a couple nice pics of mamma/baby ducklings once).
