    Cute joke, Sandy ~ I walked another WATP 5-mile walk with my sister last night! Off to see a movie this afternoon with a girlfriend and I will walk when I return!

    Have a fantastic day, everyone!

    Well, I completed yet another 5-mile walk this evening. When I got home from the mall, I did NOT want to do anything but sit, but I thought of everyone here who is doing this challenge, threw on my runners and put in the dvd. Once I started, I felt okay ~ it's just that first little push sometimes ...

    Did three miles yesterday, so 14 miles total so far. Need to get moving a bit more if I want to reach my goal!! I start working a second job on Monday, but in between the two (along with taking a break!!) I will be hitting the gym. I will fly through the miles then!!! Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

    Didn't get to post yesterday. I did a 2 mile walk in the morning and the the 5 Mile Advanced Walk in the afternoon. I had to split up the 5 mile walk because my dds new kitten was trying to catch my feet and I was afraid I'd crush him--he is TINY! Finished it, though, after she took him to her room.
    Plan on at least 4 miles today. Lots to do at work so we'll see how it goes.

    Trying sooo hard to stick with this challenge. My husband has been off this past week on vacation. My schedual is all changed around. I know excuses. But really its so hard. Not eating right either!

    I made myself do my hardest LS DVD - 4 miles! I was actually able to stick it out through the whole thing. First time. Im proud (chuffed) of myself!

    Did the 5 Mile Advanced Walk and hope to do some more--need to get some extra in case I indulge a bit at the baseball game tonight!

    Way to go everybody! pmjsmom your doing great! Already halfway to your goal. Your ahead of schedule. I need 9 more miles by Tuesday to make my halfway mark. Gonna be out and about tomorrow but probably doing some walking along the way. I might take my pedometer with me if I don't forget! lol

    I did the 4 fast miles from the Walk slim series. I like the fast paced workouts and that one's fast.

    Everybody have a great weekend! :flowerforyou:

    Sandara--I'm trying to get ahead in case things happen later the way they did last time!

    I actually did another 5 miles--the 3 mile WATP for Abs and the 2 mile Walk n' Tone--mainly because we're going to a baseball game tonight and i want a calorie cushion--just in case!

    I only worked 1.5 hours today so I had the time to get more walking in.

    My husband is being funny tonite! He says we should make a new workout video called "Shop away the pounds" guaranteed to make your wallet lighter.

    I asked him for some money so I could get to working on it but he wouldn't contribute! lol

    Sandara--I'll help with that video! LOL! (LOVE your kitty pics--I'll have to post a couple of mine later!)

    Megamom--Sure hope your knees are feeling better! Take it easy until they do.

    Plumsgrl--You're doing great!

    I've gotten 3 miles of the 4 Mile Super Challenge in so far. I hope to get in at least another 4 miles--we'll see.

    Hi everyone, well I managed to do another 6 miles tody really had to convince myself to do the last 2 on the dvd (I kept hearing Leslie saying "let's go legs", the dvd was off!):laugh:
    well I hope everyone is doing better today, pmjsmom, I think you're pushing me -thanks, I needed that!:tongue:
    megamom, hope the knees are better- if they're still sore, keep resting up, till ya feel better:flowerforyou:
    Sandy-keep on walking (in doors) just don't get heat stroke:wink:
    happy trails, y'all,

    WOW you all are doing GREAT! No miles probably for me today. I like to take Sunday's off...family time. I found a way to shake up my routine a little bit when I am outside walking. The subdivision I walk around is 1 mile around the whole thing (measured in my car) and around some parts of it there are cement road block...every time I come to one I do 10 push ups on it, and I do 5 on the next one and then I rotate. I go around 2 or 3 times so I end up getting 60 or more done. MY ARMS ARE SO SORE! But I LOVE it!

    Hope I can get more in this next week or I won't make my goal. But my goal for last month was 50 and so as long as I get past that then I will be HAPPY!

    I ended up not getting any more miles in yesterday. We had unexpected visitors and it just wasn't possible to get in another workout.:ohwell:

    I ate too much of the ice cream they brought with them, too. I am so glad today is a new day!
  • sandara

    Everybody is really doing great with their walking. I think Monday is our half-way point for this month's challenge and some of you are already ahead. I think I gotta get about 5 more in to end up on target for the end of the challenge.

    pmjsmom - I ate ice cream too yesterday (sugar-free) but still not calorie free. In fact we were on the road yesterday and I ate out all day long. It's probably the first time I have eaten evrey single one of my exercise calories. lol But this morning I'm down 2 lbs so I guess walking 4 miles (just regular walking) in the heat yesterday did the trick.

    Plumsgrl - it is so hot & steamy here, you and plum be careful walking outside.

    Megamom - give the legs time to heal, you don't want to do any long-term damage.

    Families-R-Forev - I've always taken days off, even during the week. My work schedule just doesn't allow me to walk every day and it's worked out just fine for me.

    Everybody have a relaxxin Sunday!
