Everyone is doing great! tiffyree love your little girl's smile in your Avatar!
Today up early. Off on a walk with my girls before doing a bit of canning. Got in 3.5 walking miles today..
still not sure my New pedometer is accurate( although it is the same kind as my last one ). It seems too give me more calories burned off than the last one although it gives me the same mileage. I know this because there are 3 walks that I have done so long I can tell you exactly how many miles it is...Guess I'm NOT gonna eat those calories back as I dont trust the new reading...ughhhhhhh
TOTAL thus far July 25th:
Exercise Bike.........40.3 miles.....
Walking Miles........86.75miles...........

Fun fact: when your 5 year old has a melt down at the farmers market and has to be physically removed - with all the screaming and flailing of a horror movie heroine - the other children at the market will become terrified and think she's being kidnapped. And then they will cry until their parents come to you and confirm that you are not, in fact, kidnapping the small screaming blonde girl. Apparently stranger danger education is alive and well and working.
Needless to say I didn't get out for much of a walk today but plan on making up for it tomorrow.

GREAT WORK Steve on meeting your goal!
homemademama better luck next time. Stuff happens. Dont let it ruin your day...Hang in there!
Up a bit before 7a.m. Wanted too give my girls a walk before Church Services. You should see my smallest dog. She is so funny. They both get up and eat their breakfast, run too Dads lounge chair, watch me drink my coffee and THEN if I get up too go do something she follows me all over the house right on my heels. If I go too the bathroom she's standing there watching me. If I go too the kitchen she's right there on my heels. She knows we walk early. She is so afraid I'm going too go off and leave her! lol....The other dog? Well she likes walks but she is not quite so hyper about it...lol

Good job homemadem! That's what the challenge is all about. You nailed it, now do your happy dance!0

Way too go homemade mama! There is nothing homemade about THAT! lol....
I am actually running behind a bit. Several factors with so much running (husband trying too retire end of year..load of running and paperwork) and his sister has been in hosp for weeks and several days here and there extreme heat. HOWEVER I am doing as much as I can and the extra Exercise Bike ride helps when I just can't get out. Today temps are too reach 96F with a heat index of 105! Girls and I were out the door at 6:45 a.m. They walked with me for 2 miles. I dropped them off here at home and continued on another 1.5 Miles....
Total miles walking today 3.5... I will log progress for whole day late evening...0 -
Did not mow lawn. Just too darned hot! So miles for today are still at 3.5 walking with doggies...
