    Feeling a little more like myself today. 14183 steps, 6.2 miles. Ate & drank a lot more than usual in DC but tried to keep things @ maintenance & it worked!
    Great walking everybody...

    Walked. 4 1/2 miles again this morning. I am using map my walk to know how far I go, but the calories burned seem way too much. Anyone else have this problem.?

    Projected calorie burns are notoriously unreliable... If you are concerned best to lowball & eat back only 50-75% of what was given.

    28672 steps today, or about 12.4 mi...
    Got them in 3 outings. First was a fast 5 miler in my neighborhood with a monster hill that I try to complete in under 90 minutes, done first thing this morning. Then I went on an easy paced hike at Mt Hood regional park for about 6 miles. Ended with the evening walk that I do most nights with my neighbor.
    Good walking everyone!

    10/23 (28672... 12.4 mi)
    10/24 (10493... 4.6 mi)
    Week: 101364 steps, about 44 miles*
    * I use my phone to track steps, so this doesn't pick up very much indoor activity.
    When I'm subbing it does pick up all my trips around campus and the activities i do with my classes at recess. I would say about half of my weekly mileage comes from outdoor fitness walking & hiking.
    When the time changes next week I'll have to change some of my routines & may have to add some treadmill walking. I think I'm too ADHD for the treadmill though! :-(

    :)scolaris, when you walk on the treadmill are you able to watch TV or a movie or listen to an audio book? That might make it more possible to stay with the otherwise boring quality of the treadmill. I am very fortunate where I live that I feel safe walking outdoors in my neighborhood in the dark so the time and season changes mean only that I wear warmer clothing and carry a flashlight from October to April.

    Yes, I could try that. Our Y doesn't have a tv monitor on the treadmills & my iPad doesn't do wifi unless I'm on a network. I guess I should load Netflix or Xfinity on my phone & try it. Another friend suggested podcasts but they didn't hold my attention. I'm very distractable.
    I will continue to get my dog walk with my neighbor & her two Aussie doodles. We wear light-up caps when it's dark and go in any & all weather. And I can count steps in Zumba 2 nights a week. And I have to remind myself the mornings will be lighter and more inviting. xo

    Starting a new 10 week fitness session today! Very excited & happy with results of the one I just finished. I lost 6.4 percent of my total body weight and I walked over 1 million steps! And while I stayed within a calorie range most days, I never felt deprived or overly restricted. It was great.
    So today I worked at my weekend caregiver gig & went to a second harvest Pinot party where we picked and crushed some grapes. 12097 steps, 5.2 miles.

    Catching up the weekend:
    Saturday was spent hiking around Rib Mountain State Park. A perfect fall day but I got a late start, so I ended after dark. I hiked about 8.5 miles but wanted more. I had worn my hiking shoes instead of boots and the leaves on the ground were all wet from the previous nights rain, so my feet got soaked and once night arrived, it went from a pleasant enough 50° to a downright chilly 35°.

    Sunday, I watched some football and followed along as my fantasy team went down in flames. So, instead of watching the Sunday night game, I got out and walked 10.3 miles along the trail. The moon was bright enough that I didn't need any kind of illumination.

    Thanks for your compliment as well @scolaris. I hope you feel better soon!
    @BruceHedtke awesome job on your hiking!
    @ihj385 I used to walk in the evening with a friend of mine...I miss those days...we actually used to walk in the morning, in the winter...we were hard core lol
    @jumpybeans Nice work!

    October 26...I did my 3 km today. I wanted to do more but the area is kind of iffy...we live near trans Canada hi way so I am very nervous to be out walking by myself, even with my dogs! I might get my daughter to go with me after school for another short walk and we will take the big chocolate guy (my black lab went this morning)
