    Had a short amount of time to get a workout in so I tried Jessica Smith for a walking 1 mile. She got me going though.

    Hi.
    I'm a newbee to the group also..
    Everyone seems to be talking snow - we have Autumnal highs of 32 degrees. I'd love to post a picture of my sea walk.
    I use a fitbit and am clocking around 20K steps daily but am wanting to do 31 Miles with Leslie for all the other benefits. I've clocked 3 so far this month.
    I love knowing that we all walk together =).
    Have a fabulous day xo.

    I was setting up to walk this morning when the job called wanting me to come in early to cover someone's shift. *Sigh* Hopefully I can convince myself to do my walk tonight when I get home!!!

    Good job everyone!

    I'm pushing myself a bit each day, and I feel a bit stronger each day.
    Today I completed the full 2 miles (without hand weights) on Leslie's Walk Away the Pounds (High Calorie Burn). It's amazing that you can feel these walks all over!

    I'm getting in my miles in the AM now. I had trouble with this 2 mile in the morning before, feeling dizzy. Also this week I started a bit of Intermittent Fasting - since I was almost doing it anyway, with a 15 hour fast and a 9 hour eating window, starting at noon each day. I still have my 2 morning coffees, but with Stevia now instead of sugar - in other words only 19 calories before noon, so I have less calories in me now than when I was feeling dizzy a couple of weeks ago.

    Weather here continues to be cold, often below freezing, so indoor walking is good!

    So, my count so far: 10 miles out of 35.

    How is everyone doing? I think winter wants to hang on for us. We are on the edge of the cold front - our neighbours in Alberta enjoyed some really nice temperatures while we hoover around the zero to + 5 Celsius....

    We returned to winter last night. We woke up to maybe an inch of snow and freezing temps. Too cold to stay at the park. I came home and did 2 more miles with Leslie. Missing the warmer temps already.

    Im a newbie here. My mother in law gave me some Leslie dvds and I was delighted to see there was a group created for it. i would like to do the challenge and I see everyone sets their own goal for the month. Could you help me maybe find an acceptable goal for the remaining part of the challenge? I do her workouts on and off and I am really wanting to start moderately.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome. Why not aim for maybe say 20 miles for the month. Aim for a mile a day...15 minutes for a Leslie mile.

    I do not have a clue on your activity level or physical capabilities so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.

    Walk strong!

    Tha411hun - I agree with PinkyPan1's suggestion of just aiming for a mile a day for now. Last month I started on Mar 11, with that goal, and it worked for me. I know many here do much more, but I think they have been doing it for a while. The main thing with goals is to aim for something doable, and then you can raise the bar as time goes on. Now I sometimes do 1.5 miles (I put on a 2 mile walk, and work it until it hits the 1.5 mile mark, then cool down through the remainder), or 2 miles. I am getting stronger every day.
    For this, my 2nd month, I only put down for 35 miles in 30 days, because I may want a day off of exercising, but I am also trying to incorporate other types of exercising as well.

    Good luck with whatever you choose, but these challenges are very effective in making you (me) accountable. (It's all about establishing new habits.)

    You could try what I did. I tracked my miles for a month and then set my goals for 5 miles on top of that. So if in a normal month I walked 35 miles My goal was 40 miles. Then slowing increase it over the months.

    Welcome to the group.
