    today: 6 miles
    total; 76 miles

    slept only a couple of hours last night, and was tired the whole day. Attempted to walk in the morning twice but managed only 1 mile each time. In the evening I attempted one more mile, but this time it was much easier and I kept walking 4 miles.

    Tuesday:

    0 miles: taking about a week off of DVDs
    I'm recovering from DOMS and the bruising after 2 severe muscle cramps.

    30 minutes: very easy walking outdoors on only flat streets

    Goal for June: 40 miles

    So far: 9 Leslie/ or other walking DVD miles

    So far: 150 outdoor minutes

    Wednesday - Thursday: not walking indoors or out. Will evaluate on Friday.

    Great seeing all the miles being walked by every one. I'm (almost) patiently allowing recovery and repair time for my legs. So I am enjoying reading everyone's posts :flowerforyou:

    Take care Alex, and pay heed to what your body is telling you. I'm happy that you were able to walk more in the evening!!

    Hi all! You are my inspiration!!!! So far, I have done 10 miles up until today (6/10). Since it's been raining here on the East Coast, I make sure to get a mile in in the evenings when I work as a cashier. When it's slow, I just keep walking back and forth. Between that and my walks during lunch time, I am still do good. Keep up the good work everyone.

    jak227, that is awesome how you use your slow time at work to get in some walking miles. Such a wise use of your time!! What an inspiration YOU are :flowerforyou:

    Hello new to this group. I just tried my first Leslie Sansone workout last night and liked it a lot. I was surprised how many calories I burned "just" walking. My goal for the month is 30 miles... I am keeping it low because I will mix in water aerobics and other workout dvds.

    June 9th - Three Mile Weight Loss Walk

    3/30 miles done

    Welcome lisa2219!! I am glad that you have joined this group and the monthly walk challenge :smile: . I love the 'Three Mile Weight Loss Walk' DVD especially because of Mary Kay's fast middle mile :laugh: . I really like that mile and will do that DVD whenever I get to wanting to walk Mary Kay's middle mile again :smile: .

    You have a well rounded exercise regime that you are doing... awesome!!

    Thanks for asking heavanlyb14, I'm just fine. Here's a $25,000 Idea story for you
    In 1912 efficiency expert Ivy Lee met with his prospective client, Charles Schwab who was President of Bethlehem Steel, and outlined how his organization could benefit the company. Lee ended his presentation by saying:

    "With our service, you'll know how to manage better." Schwab then stated:

    "We don't need more 'knowing' but need more 'doing.' If you can give us something to help us do the things we already know we ought to do, I'll gladly pay you anything within reason you ask."

    "I can give you something in twenty minutes that will step up your doing at least fifty percent," Lee answered.

    "Okay", Schwab said, "show me."

    Lee then handed Schwab a blank sheet of paper and said:

    "Write down the six most important tasks you have to do tomorrow in order of their importance. The first thing tomorrow morning look as item one and start working on it until it is finished."

    "Then tackle item two in the same way; and so on. Do this until quitting time. Don't be concerned if you have only finished one or two. Take care of emergencies, but then get back to working on the most important items. The others can wait."

    "Make this a habit every working day. Pass it on to those under you. Try it as long as you like, then send me your check for what you think it's worth."

    In a few weeks, Schwab sent Lee a check for $25,000 with a letter stating that he learned a profitable lesson.

    After five years this plan was largely responsible for turning the unknown Bethlehem Steel Company into the biggest independent steel producer. Schwab purportedly made a hundred million dollars and became the best known steel man in the world.
    Each time I catch myself, thinking gloomy thoughts, or analyzing what will happen in the future, I say to myself. "Stop thinking, Do, do do!".
    Do what? The highest undone item on my six point list for the day, which I prepare first thing in the morning.

    Good morning and Happy Friday Walkers!!! I racked up an additional 5.5 miles this am. I had to get an earlier start this morning due to my grandson being dropped off at 6:30. I hit the pavement at 4:45 and it took a little longer for my legs to kick in but once they did I was in cruise control. I much prefer witnessing the sunrise rather than walking in the dark. Have a great day and keep on walking.

    I intended to walk for 8 miles today but I got too dizzy. I'm having a blood transfusion next week so I should be able to walk a little further.

    Alex the #25,000 story was enjoyable to read and, yet again, you have managed to come up with something that I know that I should do and yet seem to spend more time adding to my lists than crossing things off. I shall try to come up with a list of 6 tomorrow. Are you trying to do the same?
