wasn't at a computer yesterday so didn't get to log in my 2 miles and then did a mile today . I am not to computer savey so hope that I have my ticker set up right so if you should see strange changes , i'm really not cheating just trying to figure this stuff out. I will try to find a picture to post or maybe something funny to match my personality. Still have family in town so eating appropriate foods is still a challenge but hope to be back on track with that soon. Glad to see everyone hanging in there as we try to get thru the holliday and house guests.0

Day 1: 2 miles for me... and I still had energy to do some strength training! :happy:0

Seriously Virgo... you miss the 120? I'd rather skip summer and winter and just do the nice spring temps... 70's & 80's are perfect for me! Once it gets to 90 I start getting uncomfortable. You would think after 25 years in the desert I'd be used to the heat but I hate it LOL.
Still waiting for my knee to get better so I can start my walking. It's almost there... I've been pacing around the house a lot trying to keep it loose (if I sit for too long my knees get stiff) and flexible. Got almost all motion back yay!
Weight loss this week is going to be slim to none... it's TOM and 2 birthdays this week (one of them is mine hooray). I'm holding steady with the bloat at +2 lbs... gonna start chugging water to get it back down.0 -

Oh ya, I love the heat! So toasty and warm. This is why I couldn't live anywhere else...even Safford is to cold for me. I miss phoenix, when the concrete would hold in all the heat so it was still like 100 at 10pm. haha The only time I don't like the heat is while I'm exercising...when I'm all sweaty and need to cool down. .... Maybe that is why I'm so crazy, I spent to much time in the heat and melted my brain. haha0 -
Forgot to post each day.:blushing: Will try to remember. But happy to say have been doing my 2 miles each day...so total 10 miles so far....YA!!!!!
Great to read so many of us are getting our walking in each day. WTG:flowerforyou:0 -
It's getting easier to get up each morning at 5:15 than it was on Monday. I doing pretty well with watching my calorie intake so hope with all the walking this week that at weight in on Monday I will have lost a little. May weight on friday so I can feel good. When my daughter leaves to go back to school I have a tendency to eat junk and comfort food all day. That occurs on Friday so if I weight early in the morning it will look as though I lost weight ,at least until I weight on Monday and see all the extra pounds. Being that I am trying to turn over a new leaf, I am going to combat that with doing a 2 hour Zumba class on Friday night to give me exercise and to raise money for breast cancer.( maybe I can work off all that junk food). Hope I can survive 2 hours of Zumba. Nice knowing you if I don't . Keep up the good work evceryone.0

Day 2: 2 more miles done. :happy:0

I want to join!!! I've been walking 3 miles everyday. What are you guys basing your goals on? Just whatever you want to do? I think I will do 3 miles everyday for the rest of the month and go up to 4 in Feb. I used to walk 4 miles a day 4 years ago and lost 85 lbs just from doing so! Hope I can do it again!0

I went walking tonight and got in 2.5 miles... feels great!0
-
I finally get to walk today. It is hard when you can't find a sitter. I plan on the ticker moving today.0
-
Another 2.6 Miles done yesterday. Forgot to post it.
Will try to get another 2.6 in today.0 -
Today is my brother-in-law's birthday... I think he is having a party. Damn freaking last minute people I swear... I like to know ahead of time and make sure I reserve time for people/events. I'm sure his girlfriend will call at 6pm and say 'hey we're going to such and such in 30 mins!'. Drives me nuts!
Anyways, back to the point I was going to make before I got sidetracked :laugh:. Not sure if I will get in a walk tonight, I'm really hoping I can squeeze it in somewhere. If not there is always tomorrow!0 -
Oh and just a little note. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning to go on a week long cruise. The internet prices on the ship are sky high so I highly doubt I'll be able to log in every day to update my walking total. I'll keep track while I'm on the cruise and update it as I'm able to do so.0

I based mine on just the fact that I thought I would be able to get 10 miles a week in with hopes of doing more but didn't want to defeat myself if I posted a bigger number and then didn't make it. Nothing real scientific for me!!!0 -

You can do it! I tend to do that too, so I have to get rid of all the junk in the house to keep me from eating it. lol0 -

Another mile in today. Thank goodness I decided to go slow this month...I'm barely making my 1 mile a day, if I had tried to pile on more I don't think I would make my goal.

Hang in there... as you get back in the swing you'll be doing more miles. So maybe you're doing a mile now, but in a couple weeks you'll be doing 2-4. Just keep at it0 -
I didn't have time to log yesterday but I git 1 mile yesterday and 1 in today. My weighin is tomorrow I sure hope I have lost some weight.0

Had a big jump in miles today because I went and did 2- 5 K volksmarches, thus giving me 6 miles. It was a great day for a
walk, just a little breeze and sunny. If no one is familiar with volksmarching it's a wonderful family activity that is FREE. You can take kids ( any age) hubby and grandparents if you like. It's a noncompetitive, do at your own pace walk on a marked route So if you want to go outside and do your walking and see some nice scenery while doing it try volksmarching. I was going to ask where everyone was from but realized that if I click on your names it shows that if you posted it. Did I say that I wasn't real computer savey. Guess I best go and add my info. Hope you are better soon cricketkatie.0 -
