February (2018)
WELCOME to all walkers!
It is already February, 2018, and time to start a new monthly challenge! The second one for this year! So lets make February an extraordinarily awesome month while we continue through 2018. There are still so many possibilities and opportunities for a healthy year, no matter what January turned out to be for each of us! Start overs are available each and every day, as well as each month here on the Monthly Challenge.
Crisp and cold, and even snowy weather is definitely here for many of us depending where we live. Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes walking in the snow or whatever the weather might be outside.
This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home DVD workouts, as well as those great walks or hikes outside on the trails or pathways that are available to us, or a walk in our neighborhood, and on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs. All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! Post your miles or minutes that you have walked, however you did it... it is all good!
We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that this challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!
Set your personal goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.
If you find this challenge in the middle of the month it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome
!
So, if you are new to the group please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late to join in
Tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking !
It is always fun to read which DVD, whether Leslie or another instructor, that you used. Or whatever form your walk took, whether outdoors or on the treadmill or anything in between. We all could use some new inspiration sometimes, or inquiring minds sometimes just want to know . So please share if you would care to
. (pretty please 
)
Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I know that I say this each month but I am truly grateful for each one of our precious walkers who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month.
I know that we are all excited to see our long time faithful walking friends
join us for yet another amazing month together, and we are awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge!
So now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into February of 2018! Come join us as we turn yet another calendar page... and walk our way to a Happy and Healthy February.
Let us continue through 2018 by walking strong, and with the determination!
Blessings,

Hi All! I know I have been MIA for a couple of months and there are no excuses. I have just had the world's worse time getting the motivation to work out!
I am in the process of purging my house because I am retiring next summer and I am wondering if retiring or giving up some things that I do not have room for in my other house is causing a bit of depression
However, I just checked my yearly total for 2017 against 2016 and I was only down 72 miles which was much less that I assumed after my health issue in August and lack of working out this fall and it has gotten me fired up again!!! 
I have also discovered that when I do not work out, it really does not matter if I stay within my calorie goal, the weight creeps on :noway: and three months of that is enough!!! So, I am setting a goal this month and I am making it a challenge, but one I can meet so I stay motivated.
Oh my gosh Mary!!! How scary it must have been for your DH to experience that! I think when anything that happens to our eyes is frightening! I hope his recovery is going smoothly and Kudos to you for keeping up with your workouts while caring for him. It is not easy I know!
February Goal 3.5 mi/day or 98 miles for the month.

Hi Everyone! I just joined this wonderful group. I love to walk (you probably guessed that from my profile pic) and my favorite walk is outdoors in my woods. But since I live in New Hampshire and my woods are snow and ice covered at the moment, my treadmill gets a daily workout. Over the last few years, I've shifted to doing lots of things on my treadmill that I used to do sitting down. I read Kindle books on my treadmill, keep up with my MFP friends, respond to emails, and write quite a lot while walking very slowly on my treadmill, using the handy "talk to text" feature on my iphone. Now, if I could just figure out how to clean my house while I walk on my treadmill!
I haven't set a monthly goal for myself for February yet. I want it to be challenging, but not exceedingly difficult to reach.
Good luck to Everyone and @texasgardnr, thanks for the very warm welcome!3 -

Welcome medalist! Love your Challenges and the Overcoming Procrastination Challenge is largely what got me to get back to walking NOW after a 2 month lapse! :laugh: I am an academic and I swear we are the most extreme procrastinators in the world, yet we preach "anti-procrastination" to our students constantly!
I am working on this, 15 minutes at a time! 
Thanks for the welcome back Pinky! I have missed this group!
Welcome to all the new walkers! It is nice to come back and see so many new faces!
