My local Target had a fresh supply of WATP videos tonight. I got a 2 mile dvd The Big Burn and a 3 mile Walk off 10 lbs. They even had the kits with the firm band and the one with the waist band. Gonna hafta go back before they sell them all! My husband's gonna kill me! lol Not really he's been very supportive of all my walking just as long as he doesn't have to do it too! :laugh:

ok so I woke up this early am and walked Plummy for a mile, then did 2 miles with Leslie and went back to bed!:noway:
woke up around noon had a couple of donuts, eggs and ice coffee with almond milk, saw what my cal intake was and decided to do more walking, just finished my last walk total of 7.5 miles today, and ahead of schedule (amazing what guilt will do to the mind) :bigsmile:
hope everyone had a great weekend:flowerforyou:

Well Holy Cow that is GREAT walking!!! I pushed myself to do 4.5 and I will have to do more tonight. I am doubtfull that I will make my goal but I will try!

sandara

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend. It's storming here, so nice to be able to get a walk in anyway.

I did the WATP - 2 mile big burn. It's a very good 2 mile workout with the boosted walking intervals.

Well I did 3.6 miles on the treadmill tonight!!! But it's not looking to good for me making my goal :noway: but I will keep trying none the less :drinker:

pmjsmom

I got absolutely NO miles in today (I only count walking for fitness, though--it's not that I sat all day! LOL!) My dds were blasting music and talking and I just could not get into a workout with them so loud. I have discovered that I am very much a creature of habit and do not like my schedule to be messed with!

Look at my little lady go, she's almost to the end. Yay!!!!

PLUMSGRL

worked 12 hours today so only 4.5 miles- but still ahead of my game plan!
can't wait to see the numbers on the scale tomorrow for my weigh -in, not sure what to expect
happy walking!

Hi Everyone!

I found a great website I wanted to share with you. www.about.com/walking. All kinds of interesing walking info. (calculators for cal. , how to figure speed, walking workouts)

The most exciting thing I came across was at the bottem of the homepage called the googlemap pedometer. There is a thing called mapmywalk.com. Maybe we can add this into our monthly challenge somehow. Maybe we could all map our walks and have the same ending location. Just throwing out ideas to keep this interesting.

Hope to hear what everone thinks.

Have a Great Day guys!

That sounds cool, can you share the link?
I have been slowed way down by my knee issues and finally have decided to go to the doc. 2 months is long enough to mess with it and now that it is in both knee's......... So I am still managing some walking but much, much slower and not as far, :sad:

Im really sorry about your knees. I understand how it feels to want to do something and your body just doesn't let you. I have on going foot problems that will never go away too.

Just can't give up RIGHT!

Great website! I don't know how I ever missed it. (I love about.com--it's SO informative!)

You know, a while ago I used to use mapmywalk.com to figure how many miles I'd walked and also to find walks in my new--at that time--neighborhood. I'll have to get back there.

Did 4.5 miles today--2 this morning and then 2.5 this afternoon. Gonna try for a whole 5 miles tomorrow.

PLUMSGRL

Planned to do more than the 5.5 miles I did today, my back's still hurting for some reason. I got adjusted today but it still feels "stuck" and sore- maybe I should be going 2x a week. I'll see how I feel in the am.
happy walking!

sandara

Started off my morning with the 2 mile Big Burn. Hope to do more this evening.

Families_R_Forever

Sweet I am going to check that website out later today! I need to use that map thing. Anyways I managed 5 miles today and maybe going to do a toning video later...ttyl

butterfly08uk

Just did a charity walk 5k... lovely

sandara

I did manage to get in a few more miles this afternoon! I did the WATP 3 mile walk off 10 lbs and then the 2 mile Big burn.

Hope your all having a wonderful hump day!

Has anyone heard from our walk leader Rob? I hope he is just on vacation or something.

sandara

Just did a charity walk 5k... lovely

Way to go! I want to try one sometime. I missed the Walk for Life at work

pmjsmom

Good for you, Butterfly! I used to do the Relay for Life and I really miss it! I'm going to have to find a team for next year.

Plumsgrl--are you feeling better? I sure hope so!

Today I did 2-1 mile walks in the morning and then did the 5 Mile Advanced Walk this afternoon.

PLUMSGRL

Hi all!
my backs better today, thanks for checking on me pmjsmom:flowerforyou:
Did the fat burning walk 2 miles at a time separated by 4-5 hours X3 plus walking with Plummy one mile
so total of 7 miles. I thought I would try to keep my metabolism up as much as possible , but since I work 12 hour shifts Sun-Mon it might be a little hard- I'll have to see.
Rob's around- saw a few friend requests he sent, so I sent him a message yesterday-no reply:ohwell:
Happy walking (and loosing)!

sandara

Started off the morning with a short one mile walk!

Everybody have a great day!:flowerforyou:

I always shy away from the 5K walks because I'm afraid I won't make it. I guess I could set that as a goal. How much training does it take for a person to walk 5K? For that matter, how many miles are there in 5K? Help?!? LOL

5k equals 3.10615569 miles. (Was gonna write more but I need to run an errand for my dd. Be back later.)

You know I feel really great, although I may not make my goal, I think I overestimated myself!!!! I am proud that I am exercising everyday, no matter what type it is!!!! Today I walked a whopping 6 miles outside on the trail and it was so great!!!!

pmjsmom

QueenB--you are doing great! In fact, I think we ALL are! I haven't stuck to a workout program like this in ages. It's so easy and fun to just walk.

Today I did the 2-1 mile videos from the realage website this morning and the 1 and 2 Mile WATP videos (the ones where she uses the weighted balls). I do wish I could find the 3 Mile one available for download. (I got these from a friend who converted her vhs tapes to computer files--don't ask me how because I haven't the slightest idea! LOL!) (I like the downloads because I mostly use a netbook and don't have a dvd drive for it.)

I have tomorrow off and don't know yet what I'm doing--I hope to get some shopping done.
