How many of us are in snow or ice? Not to bad here but roads are pretty drifted.

Doing great this morning other than the fact that my dog figured that I wasn't allowed to sleep in, and guess who is asleep now... LOL
But I got 5 miles in so not to bad.

Morning, all!

Welcome, to our new walkers!

We have cold weather here in Western Washington but it has been sunny and warming to upper 40's by afternoon. Unusual for this time of year--I guess all our wet weather went east and turned into snow and ice! Sorry about that!

I walked a bit more than 3 miles at work yesterday but haven't done any videos--too tired after work. I'll try to get the extra exercise in in another week or so once I have adjusted to my new schedule.

Sabrina--Glad you are back with us! I try to check in every day but I may start using this time to walk instead. I'll just have to see how it goes.

Time to get ready for work. Have a good day, everyone! Stay warm!

Hi everybody. I just did the 3 miles of the 5 mile fat burning walk. Boy do I feel good now. Guess I'll do some of the Fly Ladies cleaning now. Have a good one everybody

Well Im not allowed to shovel. So I went downstairs and did 4 miles today. Had to push myself through the first 2, third and forth were easier. Husband has been outside snowblowing for hours and is only half done. Then he has to go to work. I feel really bad!


These are a couple websites that we get our tickers from:

http://www.weight-loss-center.net/exercise-tickers/?id=1426

http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8

Create your ticker then copy and paste the bbCode into your signature on this website.

Leslie, thats funny about your dog. Mine kept me up during a thunderstorm in the night awhile back. Then napped all day while I had to be awake. So I woke him up a couple times just to get him back...lol. I know mean huh. It made me feel better at that moment though.

count me in!! I just got Leslie's Walk at Home 5 mile Walk and I love it! I have a bad ankle so I can't do high impact workouts and this is perfect!!

I'm going to shoot for 40 miles this month!

sarah44254

1 - 3.22 mile walk
2 - 3.76 mile walk


So far I'm 100% this month, hehe woo hoo! I am trying to get faster for an event in April, it's 3.4 miles. Today, I couldn't IMAGINE running the entire course, as walking/jogging it takes me 1 hr right now! But I know that if I keep it up and walk/ jog often, I will get faster and healthier along the way.

Brings me to 6.98/35 for the month!

Hi everyone! Today was a rest day so no new miles today. I missed walking, but my work & family schedule really didn't allow for it. I've gotten so I really crave my little workouts which would have seemed ridiculous 6 months ago as I was anti-exercise

Happy Wednesday, we're more than halfway through the week!

crisdB

Got 5 miles in today, my little one was sick today, so i ended up not going to work. Made the best of it while i could!

sandara

Today I walked 3 miles. I already set up my ticker to reflect 50 miles/3 miles walked. Can you please tell me if you all check in on a daily basis or weekly or whenever you feel like it?

Happy Walking Everyone!!!!!!!

Hi Sabrina, We all do it different. Just check in whenever you can. Some do it daily, some weekly and some just whenever they get a chance. We're easy :bigsmile:

sandara

It looks like everyone is off to a good start for February! yay! And more new faces! Welcome to the group!

I didn't do any miles tonight, I'm trying out my new schedule so I did my weights instead. Tomorrow I walk again!

Alice asked a good question, what state does everyone live in? I know where a few of you are but not everyone. I'm in North Georgia just above Atlanta. No snow for us this time, just the rain and wind but I'm not complaining after seeing what some of you have been hit with. Everybody stay warm and I hope you don't lose power.

jrbanta

I'm in Coon Rapids, Minnesota (suburb of Minneapolis). It's frigid here but the big blizzard missed us this time.

crystalangel

I want to join also, I love the walk away the pounds DVD's that is what I've been doing for my weight loss. My goal is 40 miles for this month.

Hi - up here in Canada (I'm in Toronto) we got a fairly big dump of snow as it came up from Texas and then from Chicago. It wasn't as big a storm here as in some places and certainly not the amount predicted - but we don't usually get big dumps of snow anymore so it was quite exciting - schools and universities were cancelled for the first time since 1999. Usually the big storms are deflected by the Great Lakes over to the Maritime Provinces. Instead it is just really cold here - in fact today it is -16C / 3F but fortunately not much wind, so not much wind-chill but cold enough though that the dogs sweater froze to the ground this morning when he went outside and all the buttons cracked off when he tried to get up. Brrrrr.

Thank-you pmjsmom for posting the videos - they will be my saving grace when it isn't so nice out. :flowerforyou:

Have a great day everyone and to those digging out, be careful of your backs!
Cheers, Cathy

Warmed up to 0 just now. Sister in law came over late last night as her furnace was out. Brrrrrrrrr.

pmjsmom

It's been rather nice here in Western Washington (Lacey--near Olympia). Cold--but not as cold as most of you--but sunny. In fact, it is a LOT colder where my youngest DD is in San Antonio, TX. They are in the low 20's with a wind chill putting the temperature around 15 degrees.

I got another 3 or so miles in at work yesterday but am still coming home too worn out to do any videos. I will start them again once I get used to my new routine.

sarah44254

It was too cold to go outside for my normal routine, so I went to the mini-gym in the apartment office and used the treadmill for 47 mins. I forget how far it said I went, something like 2 miles. Updated my ticker, I'm way ahead of where I thought I'd be!!

I am in Tucson, AZ with my boyfriend now, but the first 23 years I spent in a village (yes, a village!) just south of Cleveland, OH. I do NOT miss the cold weather and can't wait for Arizona to warm up again!

TeresaSavage

Hello Everyone!!!

I live in beautiful WARM South Florida :happy: , The weather is 80 degree's & Sunny. I just finished a 7.9 mile walk from my house to the Beach & to The Mall & walked around my City park & back home again. WOW!! That was some workout :drinker:

I started this Detox diet today ( should last a week), Its A sugar & carb Detox. heard about it on Dr.Oz show. Not bad so Far :bigsmile: , But it is only the first day & I'm only now eating lunch, LOL!! Wish me luck!! I'll need it ;-). You can only have a carb in the morning and I was already eyeing my sweet potato at lunch :noway:

HAPPY TRAILS EVERYONE!!

OMG! Thats to funny about your Dog. Unbelievable funny, AWE The Poor Dog

I live in Alberta, Canada and wish I could see some of Teresa's warm weather right now! Here, it is currently 2 degrees C and we think it is downright balmy ~ guess it's what you're used to. I've been part of this great group before, but fell of my walking trail about a year ago.:sad:

So glad I'm back and I look forward to walking with all of you!

Managed only a short walk today with the pooch. I have a question though about adjusting the ticker. I've been going into Ticker Factory and re-doing it each time then adding to my signature, I'm wondering if there is a simpler way?

tracyts

I'm in Mooresville, NC - if you're a NASCAR fan, you likely know where that is, but we're about 30 minutes north of Charlotte, which I commute to for work. It's been cold, but no ice or snow (thank the lord). My boys were very happy that Phil the groundhog didn't see his shadow yesterday and they are convinced spring should be here, like now. I'm not disagreeing as I'm a warm weather girl.

I did the 3 mile Flatten Your Belly walk today. I was going to do another mile or two after work, but it's not going to happen. Do you burn calories by giving the evil parent eye at your kids? If so, I'm on fire! :laugh:

Camino, you should be able to just edit your ticker each time. When I go back to ticker factory I see a button that says edit/update and asks for my pin number to save the changes. And I don't have to repaste it into my signature each time. It automatically updates when I update at the ticker factory site.

It sounds like we have walkers all over the US and into Canada too. We need a group map! LOL

I don't know where my energy has gone this week. I only did 2 miles tonight. I think it was the walk strong with the 2 lb hand weights. Maybe I can get back in the groove this weekend.

Looks like a few folks haven't posted. I hope they are not snowed in without power!

Everybody stay warm!

sandara

I tried to fix the Quote/Quote thingie but I give up! :noway:

jerzger

Hi! I love to walk, so happy to have found you. I'd like to jump in with a goal of 50 miles. We're covered in snow, so most miles will likely be indoors.

Hello everyone!!!! :flowerforyou:

I hope you all had a wonderful day and were able to get your walks in. It was a gorgeous and HOT day here today in South Florida!! I walked 3 miles today. It was a nice walk but, a little warm. I will have to try to get out earlier!!! I also did my first day of 30 Day Shred today. I'm not going to lie....it was tough!! But, I got through it!!! Late afternoon I did 2 miles with Leslie Sansone DVD. So, I had a total of 5 miles logged for today!!!!

Have a wonderful evening everyone!!! :drinker:
