    Total Miles Aug to Date: 44

    Didn't walk yesterday. Today did a video on the Walk at Home site, not too inspiring. Love walking before bed, who knew!?

    I know the fitness world, including Leslie on several of her videos, advocate working out in the morning. But, once I go back to teaching in Sept, I also prefer walking at night before bed. It seems to get rid of all the stress of the day and then a nice hot shower finishes it all off so I sleep really well. I know part of it is that I have a mentally challenging job and going "brain dead" before bed and just walking is very calming. If you have stressful days, Michelle, walking at night is great! Enjoy it! :wink:

    3.15 miles walked today

    130.76 miles walked to date.

    Almost there folks. I hope we are all on target.

    How about for next month, whatever you did this month adding 10%. That way we are always moving forward. Anyone up for that?

    Wow, I've been making my goal 5 out of 7 days walking!

    The past two days have been terrible for me, my cycle has created this ridiculous lower back pain. I tried to force myself to walk, but decided it just wasn't worth it and was gentle with myself instead. I've been eating lots of sugar, too, just weird for me. BUT the good news is tonight I feel like myself again! What a relief! Did a different walk (from the Walk Social site) and so there you go! I'm back in business! :)

    Thanks zichab (I think your name is Brenda...) :)

    Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and be "gentle". Good word. Glad you are feeling better Michelle.

    UM, this is insane, FIFTY miles!? I've walked 17 out of the past 19 days, so I'm meeting my goal of walking 5 days a week. What a wonderful new habit I have! Tried a few videos off the WalkAtHome.com site, the 3 Fast Miles was REALLY "brisk", as Leslie says!

    And...my scale surprised me this morning...

    199.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!

    Good morning fellow walkers!! I did 5 miles this morning and my son rejoined me on our walks. If his ankle is doing well he said he will see me in the morning. This made my day!! :love:

    Morning everyone!

    Been on a bit of a hiatus and came back to see goals met, exceeded and wowza positive attitudes -all around fun here.
    Congratulations you are all doing fabulous.
    Horn tooting time folks! :happy:

    For anyone that may be new here I can attest that checking in everyday makes all the difference.

    The last few weeks I have been off the grid and my motivation and movement have dipped.
    Being challenged on this site increased my movement (and improved my attitude) without a doubt.
    Glad to be back to civilization lol
    Now where was I... onward ho!!
