    startergal53. I will continue with 1 km (0.6 miles) a day challenge. My primary goal is not to reach a certain weight or walk a certain distance, but to FORM A HABIT. And I have chosen 1 km as the habit forming action. If I walk more, good, but 1 km is enough for habit forming. And it is so low that I can do it even on the bad days :smile: .

    Well done, lidenalex! The goal of small sustainable actions toward creating a habit is much better than an overwhelming goal that only serve to discourage sooner or later. I was glad to read that you have chosen to continue on in making your habit a true habit. Good for you!

    Monday:

    0 miles: No DVD today.

    80 minutes: walking briskly outdoors, humid but windy so it was do-able.

    Goal for May: 40 miles, Continuing an emphasis on strength and outdoor minutes will change my usual mileage from previous months.

    So far: 11.5 Leslie/ or other walking DVD miles

    So far: 190 outdoor minutes walking

    Walked 10.4 km (6.5 miles) today.

    I am happy to see so many folks post their progress here. The important thing is not how many miles you have walked but that you actually walked. As Woody Allen said: Eighty percent of success is showing up.

    Fabulous seeing everyone working it! Keep moving and setting those goals. Appreciate the focus on developing habits. Thankful to be able to "show up."

    I'm back.

    Still in a little discomfort following last weeks surgery but ready to get out for a proper walk today. I've been going on short, gentle strolls but not logged the miles so I'm just going to take it from there I was.

    I'm going to try and complete five miles today and will report back later.

    Happy walking everyone.

    Walked 9.6 km (6 miles) today. I did not feel like walking today, because the rain has been drizzling, but I have a daily goal of 0.6 miles. From where I live there is a church and the city park 0.3 miles away. So I said to myself, just go to the church and then back, that you can do, n'est pas. When I reached the church and the park, I saw several people walk in the park. Well I can walk a little bit I said to myself. I continued in this manner and before I knew it I have walked 3 miles. That gave me energy to take two small walks in the evening.

    Strange thing happened this evening. I had walked 6 miles and ate as I usually do and was looking forward to dinner and a nice evening. My wife had baked potatoes in the oven and had a good sauce (called Skagenrora in Sweden). We ate our potatoes in front of the TV (first mistake) watching a program called Escape to Countryside. I ate 2 big potatoes and 8 oz of the sauce without looking how much calories it contained (second mistake). When I entered the calories for the dinner in MFP I saw that the dinner added up to 1200 calories :explode: . Good gracious. I was over my calorie limit. I got mad at myself :devil: . But it was only 8 pm, so I could still lessen the damage. I went out and walked 4 km (2.5 miles). Still not happy, but at least not totally hopeless :grumble: .
