SWaT Walking Group - December Walk

MCS64

Ok, I forced myself to walk today. Haven't been feeling 100% last few days. I was able to walk 1 1/2 miles at a 15% incline on the treadmill. Im good with that.

You guys all seem to be off to a really good start. Good for you!

Hello,

Walked 2 miles with Leslie Today. Snow coming we are expecting about 2 - 4 inches.


Off to watch Christmas Movies with the kids.

Have a good walking weekend.

Happy snow day Dawn! I wish we'd get just a little bit of snow here. Haven't had any for a few years now. I love Christmas movies.

My favorite is It's a Wonderful LIfe. What does everyone else like?

I didn't get in a walk today. I"ve had a headache for 2 days so went to the doc. Maybe an ear infection but they're not sure. Then I had a hair appt after work. But I am happy to say the last 2 pounds to reach 60 lbs down have finally gone. I waited until I had the same weight for 3 days before I claimed it, it's been a little over a month since I've had a loss and now 2 lbs at once! :bigsmile: It will probably come back (it usually does) but I know I'll be able to get it back down if it does. I"m not stopping though, I'd really like to lose about 10 more. I'd set my goal a little high because in the beginning I don't think I really believed I'd actually make it there. MFP and this group has kept me going.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

how do you calcute the calories burned from using the walking videos. I have the 1 and 2 mile dvd and would like the some other ones too, but would like ot konw how you calculate the calories burned. thanks

mrsbuzz and anyone else--I count the dvds under "walking" at 4 mph. Most of her walks average out to that pace. You could also use 'low impact cardio' if you want--I think they work out the same. of course, if you have a HRM you would go by that.

I got in3 miles today and got more walking done while shopping.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Sandy! Congrats on your loss!

PLUMSGRL

Well today started the 1st of six 12 hour shifts (in a row) walked 3 miles at work, skipping the kettle bell workout tonight- my back has been bothering me for 3 weeks and thought I'd give it a break for 3 days...
Just finished one mile with Plummy- total 4 miles today!

Congrats to everyone getting their walks in today!

nemrenu

Well I am not sure what I did today, but no DVD's I clowned at a nursing home today, I just love it, I love to see their faces light up when I make a rose for them, The girls from our church did caroling and I did my napkin roses for them, but by the time I got my animals taken care of and then the nursing home and than had to take care of the neighbors horses also, I am tired but I wouldn't trade today for nothing...
Tomorrow is my rest day so I will type at everyone Monday
Grats on the 2lbs Sandra!!!!!!!!!!

PLUMSGRL

Hi ya'll!

Well I had another successful day at work- 3miles there (plus 14 flights of stairs) 2 miles with Leslie (Fat Burning Walk-my fav) and another one with Plum!
Total today= 6 miles
Had to make up for not working out with the kettlebell (giving my back a rest for a few days).,.
Shorter walk tomorrow.

AliceLMS

Extra long day at work today. Just finished, no walking so far. Not sure I have anything left in me.

Nite all, Alice

AliceLMS

Did only 1 mile. Better than nothing!

sandara

I hope everyone had a good weekend, I did! I'm happy to say I got a little Christmas shopping done finally.

I Went to Wally world for groceries today and bought the Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD. I thought I'd try something new. It has 4 one mile workouts or you can play them all. I played them all. At first I didn't think I was going to like it but after sticking with it a bit it kind of grew on me. Mile 3 is pretty tough but I can actually do jumping jacks. I couldn't when I first started this trip. I think I"m going to have to invest in a smaller sports bra if I'm going to keep doing mile 3 though. :blushing:

I also bought a kettle ball but haven't tried it yet. Eagle seems to like it so I thought I'd give it a try.

Alice, every mile counts and some days are better than others. Sounds like you needed a rest so don't be too hard on yourself.

Everybody keep up the good work.

PLUMSGRL

Well it was my intention to have a day of rest, but I was sooooo hungry today so I did 2 miles at work. Now it's late and cold, only took Plummy around the building (poor Plum).



Ooooooo, Sandy- I too like It's a Wonderful Life, but I think my fav is Holiday Inn-the singing , the dancing, just alot of fun!
Congrats on starting the biggest looser dvd- I understand it's a lot more demanding! And happy swinging with the kettlebell- Patti 's been at it too!

AliceLMS

2 1/2 miles in this a.m. It's a wonderful life is a great movie. One of our favorites.

nemrenu

Welcome Teresa :flowerforyou: Congratulations, on your successes! Go to tickerfactory.com to set up for a ticker.

Fit2_T

Hi! I'm new and would love to join you! Thanks for this thread! I need the motivation.

Walked 1 mile today.

nemrenu

Welcome Teresa :flowerforyou:

Good job on today's mile!

sandara

Welcome to the group both Teresa's! Glad you found us. This is a great group for support and friendship.

Its cold in Georgia today so I didn't walk today. I know some of you live in much colder areas so don't go calling me wimpy! :laugh: I should have walked as soon as I got home because once I start cooking I just lose all my motivation. I wont get to walk tomorrow either. My son's school Christmas concert is tomorrow night so I'll really be late getting home.

Everyone keep up the good work.

Sandy

PLUMSGRL

I was very hungry today, so I walked twice- 3 miles at work and 2 miles with Leslie"s 5 Day Slim Down (did #5 twice).

Oye- Sandra, your not kidding about the cold- even colder tomorrow, no fun without the snow (on a day off:laugh: ).

Have fun walking, everyone!

Lesliet05

Well walked 5 miles so far today.... have to get alot of it in this week, I hate how steriods make you Starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tracyts

Well, I've been slacking/under the weather, but keep trying to add some miles - one step at a time. I did 4 yesterday and will do 3 today.

Sandy: It's cold up here in NC and the heat in our office seems to be wonky. Thought I was going to have frostbitten fingers if I didn't wear gloves - made typing kinda difficult :laugh: As a yankee transplant, I keep telling my co-workers that I thought I was in "The South," but they keep telling me that I'm in the "northern South." Can anyone explain that?

Congrats to everyone for all your progress and a belated welcome to all the new folks joining in.

I have been having a tough time staying on track. I've not been drinking enough water and I really think that is a HUGE part of the problem so--I am going to get in 100 ounces today and every day and see if that helps.

I got in 3 miles yesterday and so far have 2 of the 5 Fat Burning miles done--I am going to finish the video in a minute.

It's rainy and gray here today so after I finish my workout I am going to get some cheery Christmas music going and work on my Christmas projects. If I keep my hands and mind busy I will be less likely to eat, right?

I hope everyone is having a good day!

MCS64

Wow, really having a hard time so far this month! I got in 2 miles today after taking 2 days off AGAIN. Don't know what my problem is right now.

Lesliet05

Well got 1 more mile in, I am so ready to call it quits today..... LOL

AliceLMS

Leslie you must be half way across your state by now!!!
I did 2 miles with weights today.

pmjsmom

I finished the 5 Fat Burning miles but haven't gotten much else done.

My grandson is teething and is miserable right now. I swear he is getting about 5 teeth all at once, poor guy! I ended up rocking him until the Tylenol kicked in. He just wants to be held.

Lesliet05

Yea Alice... Florida isn't that wide so I bet I am...... LOL

TeresaSavage

Hi Everyone!
The Weather here in Florida is perfect, except when your standing in the shade ( sweater needed ). I'm doing okay so far, since I'm newly into this, But I know my struggles are coming soon :frown: . Thats why I put my food diary out there for other's to read, to keep me on track & hopefully it will keep me going with eating right & exercising.
Thank you all for your support!
