    bandit, I am sorry to learn that your Dad had a stroke. I scrolled back and read that you are driving him to all his therapies. I totally understand how exhausting that can be and how the old habits creep back in during times of acute stress, then especially when the time extends to become longer term. Having been care taker and driver and many other things for brother who also does not drive I have compassion and also admiration for you. I pray that your Dad continues to do well, and that you can stay strong, dear one.

    zichab, thanks for the confidence in my getting off the pounds, which are more than a 'few'. My brother was injured in January and I've gained almost a pound a month :o . I only finally just got on the scale this week to see the damage. I had been scared to, but finally knowing was good b/c it was less than I thought but much more than I ever should have allowed.
    Well we can do it again.... right?? Of course. Yours will come off also o:) We all can do this now/again :flowerforyou:

    Thanks Lilymay2, I'm glad to be back. I have missed being here and all my walking friends. I'm not sure how I'm going to make this happen this month, but somehow I must.

    Pinky, I don't think that I do sidesteps while waiting or standing around, but I do find myself doing them at random times when I am walking and the area I am passing through just seems to beg for sidestepping it rather than continuing on in a forward motion. I taught my brother to use sidesteps when he does his therapy walks both indoors as well as outdoors. He and I giggle over them as we side step around mailboxes etc. We also do high stepping sidesteps during our walks. I learned that from one of his PT therapists.

    I walked 1.5 hours this morning in my neighborhood

    So far this month: 210 minutes outdoors.

    Here's to sidestepping,

    :flowerforyou:

    @PinkyPan1 Thanks! It has been a rough time just being able to walk. I have really listened to my PT and I still do my exercises... I just feel so empowered right now with these walk at home dvds.

    I got a 5 mile walk in today an just logged 11,609 steps! Whoo hOOOOOO! I am up to 17 miles this week. I tried to talk myself out of it, then I remember that Blaze Pizza I had today... and I just had to get the drizzle of bbq sauce. =) good bye to those calories. YaY!

    31/56 I completed the 2 Mile Walk This Way twice this morning. I also just found on Leslie's website her 12 minute Pilates workout. Wow what a great ab workout. I do the firming and toning that follows her Silver Walk a few times a week but this one is better in my opinion. The flutter kick on the stomach is hard but effective.

    Coopscoopc that is so awesome that you are continuing with the exercises that your PT therapist taught you. 11,609 steps is incredible... you go girl :)

    Lilymay2 enjoy that massage and the day out with your DH.

    PinkyPan Leslie has a: Walk at Home - 3 Mile Slim & Sleek Walk Plus Pilates old DVD out. You might find it on Ebay or in the library. It might show up on YouTube perhaps. The walk is Pilates focused and she talks about Pilates and its principles during the walk and it has a floor session afterwards which might be the one you found.

    Today I did a 1 hour neighborhood walk. Much cooler this morning and breezy! Lovely way to start my morning.

    So far this month: total of 270 minutes outdoors. (4th day of walking)

    Nov 6 - 4.1 miles - lots of in and out of stores and trying out mattresses.

    Yup then home and of course we had to take out old bed - vacuum - wash sheets - move the old bed downstairs - set up the new bed - vacuum the whole house because the grandkids are coming Saturday afternoon...... I am tired.... and not sure if the massage did any good at all..... neck and shoulders hurting....

    I sure hope the grandkids come with coats, toques, boots and mittens....because I need to get outside!!! It is supposed to be +8 this afternoon and sunshine. And for us that is a heat wave for this time of the year.

    Lilymay you burned some awesome calories yesterday! Hope that you had a great sleep last night

    I walked an hour this morning after the rain stopped. The temperature dropped into the 60's and windy, while threatening to rain again any minute.

    So far this month: total of 330 minutes outdoors. (5th day of walking).
