    Welcome to the group and July’s Walk Challenge outtoinside, you have some great indoor and outdoor goals!

    supplemama, so good to see you joining in the challenge again. Strength training and hula hooping sound like an awesome combination in addition to your walks!

    @ heavenlyb14, I liked how you said: “Isn't it lovely how we are all so excited about our walking month ahead?”
    I think that is a wonderful description of how the month has started out!

    @ Sue, Healthymom_5, PinkyPan1, LouAnn (enjoy your camping), Carol P (hope the back strain feels better soon), startergal53, alex, heavenlyb14, AnnofB, and lucy_878 you are all being so awesome for adding more and more mileage :drinker:

    Good morning Walkers and Happy 4th of July! I walked 6 wonderful miles this morning. I was the only one up and walking this morning and it was so peaceful. It was a surprising 58 degrees outside. It was crisp and cool which made my walk even more enjoyable. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your walks.

    2 miles with Leslie's Women's Walk (Nutri System). Did the firming routine at the end - nice gentle workout! No walking yesterday but did a great overall weight and cardio workout (Mix it Up - Debbie Siebers).

    4.25 of 40 done

    Happy 4th!!

    I can't really set a goal this month as I am doing too much traveling. So, my goal will be as many miles as I can while visiting my son and new granddaughter and then traveling later in the month! July is busy this year! :smile:
    July 4-Endomondo tracked 3.13 miles walked around my son's neighborhood in the The Hague. I miss my USA fireworks :ohwell: Happy 4th to all the Americans! :wink:

    Hello everyone. Did Leslie Sansone 3 mile power walk today. I also walked an additional mile! Yesterday 3.1 miles!

    Anyone who can start another walk after one of Leslie's power walks has my admiration.

    I just realised that I'm going to get through two pages of posts if I keep commenting the way I have been, sorry.

    I am amazed by what a strong start has been shown by everyone this month, you all inspire me so much.

    I walked for 2.98 miles this morning before breakfast and another 6.3 this evening. I don't know what it is about going for a walk in the summer rain but it does make me smile. I walked past a field of coriander that had just been cut and the smell carried for over half a mile, that made me smile too.

    Happy walking everyone :flowerforyou:

    I slept in this morning so I did Leslie's 4 Fast Miles. It kicked my butt. I wanted to quit after mile 2 but I hung in there and I am glad I did. I even considered doing another dvd but I had to hit the showers because my grandson was spending the day with me. Happy walking everyone.

    Go cat go!

    Day off yesterday so took my "group" (you all) with me to the track for 7 glorious fun miles of sunshine and blue skies.

    Encouraging words- sparkling attitudes-and determination to meet goals and improve physical health keeps the fire lit.
    Thanks folks-

    15 miles in- oh hang on time to do the happy dance!!:happy:

    (thanks Healthymom_5 for mentioning the Debbie Siebers Slim series it sounds good)

    Happy Sunday morning Walkers! I walked 5.5 miles this lovely morning. I was fortunate to see two fawns this morning. They were as surprised to see me as I was them. They froze in place as did I before I continued to walk on by. I saw them again on my next lap laying in someone's back yard. It has been quite a while since I have seen deer in out neighborhood. Enjoy your walks and walk proud my friends.

    As of today...29/135 miles completed.

    Woohoo! Walk strong- and I love what you said PinkyPan1- walk proud!

    I rolled out and hit the floor walking this morning before church- did the 1 mile with Leslie followed by the "burn" 30 equals 2 miles!
    It felt like a "ta-dah" moment ya know lol.

    This is my husbands last day on vacation so now that I knocked out my walking with weights the stroll planned for later will be relaxing.

    Enjoy the days of summer folks!
    18/110 miles completed

    Treadmill should be fixed this week. My TV and Blue Ray not working. Got new but being electronically challenged, I can't get them to work properly to even get youtube. So....I've been gardening in early morning to beat the heat in an effort to burn some calories.. I am taking my LS dvd to my son's today and will do 3 miles there. :sad:
