    Hey everyone ,:happy:
    hope your miles are going well. I'm struggling at the moment - been feeling really off colour recently and full of a cold so not much walking done BOOOOO.:ohwell: Hopefully starting to get back to normal. What a lovely friendly bunch of people are here, thank you. XX

    Thanks for your logging advice too, sounds a good way.

    @ supplemama, I am so sorry to read about how ill your father is. Am praying for him and also you. I hope that you get a few miles in as you find the time or maybe if possible find some places that you can take a break and walk in or around the hospital. {{{Hugs}}} :heart: .

    Oh my dear thank you so much, you are very kind :flowerforyou:

    Glad to hear your dad is doing better....its stressful when a parent is ill. Stress is probably the biggest factor in your weight gain now so don't be so hard on yourself. Walking is a wonderful way to release some of that stress so even a few trips up an down the hospital hall may make a huge difference.
    I will keep your father in my prayers, hope he improves quickly.

    Good morning Walkers. Not only did I get to walk in the rain once again but I managed to walk 8 miles this morning. Woot! Woot! I feel awesome. I told my self that I was going to walk until my body said "stop." My tracker states 8.07mi. walked in 2:16:33 and I burned 522 calories at an average pace of 16:55 per mi. This the furthest I have ever walked and I am proud of myself. I have been under stress for the past few days and I decided to leave it all at the park this morning. Ha!

    @Pinky wow great walk and good on you for leaving your stress at the park.
    So did 1 Leslie mile and 2 at work miles. Loving the new walk DVD I did the red mile today and I think its my new favourite....although yesterday my favourite were the yellow and green. Oh guess I'm just loving all 5.
    Have a great day all!

    Hello Jean... You're doing great! And you can't disagree with that mantra. At least if you want to lose weight you can't. :smile:

    Louann, I bet you will have withdrawal symptoms if you have to miss a workout, :laugh: Seriously, have fun, eat some wedding cake and know that you'll be right back marching when it's over. You got this.

    Sept Goal 70 miles
    9/1-Exercise TV-WAH- 1 mile + WAP 3 Fast Miles= 4 miles total
    9/3-Just Walk-5 Mega Miles=5 miles-9 miles total
    9/4-WAP Walk Slim-4 Fast Miles=4 miles=13 miles total
    9/7-Exercise TV-WAH-1 mile (strength training day)=14 mile total
    9/8-Just Walk-Walk to the Hits Radio Remixes-3 miles=17 miles total
    9/11-Exercise TV=WAH-3 mile walk-3 miles=20 miles total

    TexasGrdnr-:laugh: On my cardio days, I tend to say, "What Leslie walk do I feel like doing today and which one is an absolute NO!" :noway: You can almost tell how much energy I have by the ones I choose! However, I do get bored easily and if I mix them up, then they are kind of new and fun again. Listening to everyone talking about the red mile and green mile has got me interested popping that DVD in tomorrow and doing a couple of miles after I strength train. I'll see how much energy I have left! :wink: As Leslie says, I have to keep surprising the muscles-use them or lose them at my age! :bigsmile:

    bandit5125-take those wedding guests with you and show them how we folks in "onderland" stay fit and svelte! :laugh: You are rocking the miles even with a wedding to manage. You are amazing!:flowerforyou:

    pinkypan-Oh my gosh a 16 minute miles for 8 miles???? Holy Smokes that is phenomenal! I can do a 15 minute mile, but 3 is about the limit if I want to live to tell anyone about it. :blushing: My hat is off to you! Great Job! :drinker:

    I am doing "Walk it Off in 30 Days" because I have to get back to the weights-summer is over :ohwell: As a result, my miles are not as high as I anticipated. I always forget how much weight training exhausts me when I start it back up each fall. However, my walks will pick up again toward the end of the month. Keep Walking Strong Everyone!
  • Hi walkers. i recently got a fit bit and started with leslie sanson'e dvds. i have a LOT of weight to loose, however i am able to do the 4 mile super challenge.I have two DVDs - Walk it off in 30 days and Walk away the pounds (1-4Miles) This is what i have planned for the week:
    Mon - 3 miles
    Tues- 2miles
    Wed - 1 mile
    Thurs- 4 miles
    Fri- Off
    Sat- Burn 30 (Walk it off in 30 days)
    Sun - Burn 30
    Any suggestions? is this good enough to at least start with the weight loss process and then maybe increase.

    Thursday: (September 11th)

    2 DVD miles: The Big Burn, 2 miles of intervals & 2 mini Walk Blasters

    0 outdoor minutes.

    Goal for September: To be determined

    So far: 12 Leslie/ or other walking DVD miles

    So far: 115 outdoor minutes

    So far: 21 mini walks from Walk Blasters DVD

    @ KristinKory, welcome to the walk challenge for September! We are glad you are here. We all love LS walks also :laugh:

    @ bandit5125, enjoy your company that is coming in for the wedding!! How exciting :smile:

    @ KymGreer92, glad that you are feeling better... and able to start walking again :heart:

    @ handbagfan, feel better fast! Colds are absolutely no fun. Hope that you can walk with us soon, but most important is getting well :flowerforyou: .

    @ supplemama, you're welcome hon, Hope that your father continues to improve and that you find some de-stress time for yourself. hugs :flowerforyou:

    @ PinkyPan1, good place to leave your stress! Hope that you put it under a rock or something so it stays there :laugh: Great walk :drinker:

    @ schafmom, Happy that you are enjoying your new DVD!! Always feel free to adjust your goal however it works for you. It is your challenge and should be a challenge but not discouraging or unattainable a this time for whatever reason. You are doing awesome :glasses: .

    @ zichab, I liked your comment :laugh: . When I want something different on the Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan DVD I'll customize in a "Completely Blue Walk" : Warm up, Blue mile once or twice, then the cool down. In all of these the walkers are wearing blue clothing :laugh: . I like the Proud Mary song on that Blue walk :tongue: .

    @ Leena1119, sounds like a good plan! The most important thing is to enjoy your plan; then you will keep it up, and that consistency is what will get you healthy & fit while losing the weight that you want to lose.
    Feel free to change the plan to suite your need that day. I noticed a free day! Always a good thing to include in a plan! I also often do a long walk the day before a day off. Works for me also to do that. I love both of those two DVDs that you have :wink: . The 4 mile Super Challenge is still one of my all time favorite walks. Well done :drinker: .

    Have fun walking my friends :flowerforyou:
  • SEPTEMBER GOAL: August total miles= 86 I'm going to set a goal of 90, that's about an average of 3 miles per day. That's a stretch goal for me.

    Pimky, well done!!!!!!

    Anne, you are so right, I try and take a day off from walking and I can't do it. I am getting in my workout, I need that time for me in the morning. The afternoon is hit or miss. My bils from Texas are here now, they got here late last night. My friends from Vegas got here Monday, the good thing is they are all late risers so I can enjoy my walk time. One of my bil recently went through gastric bypass, so he appreciates what I am dong. I try to get the majority of my walking and chores done before everyone gets here.

    I am going to enjoy the foods at the wedding and have cake, not going to even worry about calories that day. I look fabulous in my dress and can't wait to post pictures!

    Thursday Sept 11

    6.91 miles walked today

    82.29 miles walked to date

    I did the LS moves to my own music today. Did a 5 mile walk using the Leslie moves. Some tracks were fast but then I was glad of a slower one. It made it great fun to do it to my own music. Just tried to remember the Leslie moves but as she says as long as you move to the music it doesn't matter.:happy:
