    <3 WELCOME NEWBIES! It really doesn't matter WHAT you do as long as you are faithful. If you dont want too count miles or steps then count minutes. IT IS IMPORTANT TOO MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! I have learned that during my 7 years of working at it..... I wish I had started years ago before that but it is what it is.....

    SO HAPPY too see our 'oldies' back.... <3

    We are doing home repairs. I've been painting. I may not be here every day but I WILL CHECK IN when I can and I will still be dong my morning walk. Owning a home is a lot of work. This was our year for repairs and painting...

    EVERYONE HANG IN THERE...HOPE YOU DO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    July 1st.............4.5 Walking Miles
    July 2nd............4.0 Walking Miles

    Total thus far 8.50 Walking Miles....

    Hi My name is Dawn! I would like to join the challenge. I have been using my MFP on and off for the last few years... really need some motivated friends to keep me going. I only have like 4 friends (co-workers etc) that are on MFP.... It's nice to see motivated people in your news feed to relate to, keep motivation going, stay accountable... so thank you for any friend requests... :smile: right now i am using my bowflex max trainer (I love it) and me treadmill.
    My goal is to get on my bowflex 5 days a week as well as get 10,000 steps in each day. :smile:

    I've been a bit quiet in the June challenge, but will come back fighting. I have a trail race in the middle of the month so am gearing up for that. My walking miles challenge is 80 miles, and I need to get back on the bike so another 40 for that.

    Spent the weekend camping in darkest Somerset with a load of dancing friends. Only one person fell in the river (trying to catch a frisbee), two chairs were broken, we didn't set fire to the woods, and rescued two baby bats which are now in the care of a local batwoman. Much beer, cider and wine was drunk, and I am now planning on eating nothing but vegetables for the rest of the week to make up for the BBQ.

    12 miles walked/ran this month so far.

    4 July: just some walking, the planned cycle ride went mush along with my back tyre..
    5: lots of walking today (including taking bike to repair shop, lazy me)

    Atleast over 30 mins: 3

    Welcome Dawn - sorry I dont 'do' MFP friends anymore, but this is a supportive thread. No idea what a bowflex is - i am guessing more crosstrainer than Robin Hood !

    And hi Girlina - that sounds a fun w/e!

    7/1= 0.26 miles in 10 minutes
    7/5 = 0.42 miles in 16 minutes

    I was supposed to walk yesterday, but had to work AND do festivities, didn't get a chance.
    Today I remembered to use my walker and oxygen, so that's why I lasted a little longer. But gosh, lugging those things from the porch to the street is practically a workout in itself LOL

    I've had a run-in with food poisoning on the weekend, and then an allergic reaction to a course of antibiotics my dr put me on (not related to the food poisoning). These things have left me feeling quite weak and lethargic. In fact, for several hours yesterday my fingers on both hands went numb while the palms were cramping and very painful ... and my tongue went numb as well. That was a little bit alarming!

    But today I feel some better. :)
