SWaT Walking Group - February Walk

jrbanta

Well it sounds like everyone is doing well! I feel good too. Worked late and am not sure I'll walk tonight but plan to put some miles on Friday and Saturday. I'm thinking about starting Jillian's 30 Day Shred. I noticed lots of people on MFP are doing it. Short but intense workout for those days with limited time. Any thoughts on her workout?

Welcome new members and I'm jealous of Sabrina in Florida! Sounds wonderful! Happy Belated Birthday Sandy!

Well, ended up with yesterday as a rest day, but made up for it today with a double workout. Did 3 Fast Miles today during "lunch" and then a full-body strength workout after dinner. I'll be sore tomorrow, but will work it out with 4 miles at work.

Thank you AZ for the good news about the weather there. I spent 8 years in AZ between Tucson and Phoenix. My folks now live there, hence the visit, but I don't miss May-October with the century-plus heat! Of course, North Carolina isn't exactly cool in August either and I can tell you there is a difference between a wet and dry heat :laugh:

Will update my ticker this weekend. :blushing: I can't remember when the last time I added mileage to it so have to figure out what I've done for the month so far. I hate when my memory isn't helpful.

Happy Birthday Sandy! and nighty night everyone!

Hello everyone!!!:flowerforyou:

I hope you all had a fabulous week!! Today I chose a different route for my walk. I decided to walk across the street to Woodmont Country Club. It was cold, windy and drizzling rain but, not bad enough to head back.:ohwell: It was a very beautiful walk. I enjoyed watching the golfers and the course and area is so pretty!!!! I walked all the way through to Pine Island and back. It was a total of 4 MILES!!! I had a horrible time today with this darn ticker. All the sudden it didn't recognize me and I had to recreate one!!!! Oh well, I figured it out!!!

Have a wonderful weekend walkers!!!!

love leslie sansone!

jrbanta

I love Leslie too! 4 miles last night and she is always motivating!

pmjsmom

I need to try to up my walking in the next few weeks if I want to reach my goal!

If I count what I walk at work I would be REALLY close but I want this to be exercise outside of work. Eventually my work will be something I am used to--takes about a month for that to happen for me usually--and I really want to have a routine besides work!
I'm getting there, though.

I plan on getting up 15 minutes earlier this week so I can get in 2 miles EVERY work morning. Right now I get 1 mile most days before work.

I hope everyone in the snowy areas is staying warm! Looks like we'll be having rain today and I am going to get a stew going in the crockpot.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

Hello Group!! :happy:

Today was slighty windy, Cloudy And light rain & I took my umbrella and walked 6.4 miles. I couldn't believe I did it! I kept saying to myself, I must be crazy to do this and along my journey when walking beside the Park I saw another crazy person like me LOL. Im still trying to get over my cold :noway: , I know it sounds pretty stupid But this walking has become addicting..
I stopped at Kmart along my walk to buy "DAY QUIL" But It cost to much money, I didn't want to spend $7.00 on a 10 oz bottle.
I Know Im cheap :embarassed:


NICE WALKING EVERYONE :flowerforyou:

jrbanta

Teresa that's great you don't let the weather stop you! It's a sunny day in Minnesota but the roads are messy with dirty snow and slush. I will walk 4-5 miles with Leslie Sansone later. Hope you feel better.

Well got a total of 6 miles in today.

Looks like everyone is off to a good start for the weekend. I did the 4-mile punch up your walk to try and make up for my 830 calorie lunch! :sad: Red Lobster is hard to do even if your tying to be good. My sister took my mom & me out for birthday lunch. I only ate one of those wonderful biscuits. I think I can still stay under my calories if I'm good at dinner though.

I posted on my profile earlier but it seems to have disappeared. I got my labwork results back today on my A1C and mine is now 5.7 and in the normal range. One year ago it was 6.7 and then at 6 months it was 6.4. I quit taking my metformin 3 months ago (because I was having low readings) to see what my results would be and now I'm officially off of the meds. :bigsmile: Now if my blood pressure would do the same I'd be in great shape.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Keep up the good work.

Teresa I love hearing about your walks. I wish I had someplace to walk outside more.

Kathy, your doing great, especially considering all the walking you do at work. But it's admirable that you want to keep a workout routine too.

I love the diversity we have in this group. It really gets harder (I think) to stay committed when you get close to your goals. When you first start out your inspired by the scale moving regularly. When you don't see those drops it's easy to get discouraged and think your not making a difference. It helps me to be involved with this group to keep me going. So thank you all for posting here so often. :flowerforyou:

Scubasab

Terry.....thank you so much! It was a wonderful walk. I really enjoyed it. And I also used the "kids overpass" so that was my incline!!! LOL!!! It's so pretty back there. I always enjoyed how the trees spread out over the street forming a tunnel!!!! I will definitely do that walk again!!!! But, they do not compare to your long walks!!!!! You are doing great!!!:flowerforyou:

Just wanted to check in. I did 3 miles today.

jrbanta

I did JM's 30 Day Shred, Level 1 today. I was sweating and tired. After that I walked 2 miles with Leslie Sansone and did the resistance with the therabands during the walk. I'm tired! Eating healthy today and making good choices so far...

Lesliet05

got 5 miles in today, that is about all I have done, ToM is coming and no motivation

sandara

JRBanta - the 30 day shred is tough. I tried it a long time ago and ended up giving it away. I kind of wish I'd kept it so I could try it again now that I'm further along.

Leslie, 5 miles is great. I did the 5 mile WATP advanced walk and that's enough for me too!

Monday~Power Walk/Strong Walk/Alice Walk/Weights 72 minutes 4.5 miles

Sunday~Nada~ Nada~ Nada.

Garden Expo all day Sat. Lots of walking, lots of talking 4 classes, and home to watch the GKDS
while their folks went to a local theater for a comedy act. Late night, late morning, made it to church, outstanding sermon!
Company when I got home, just had brunch at 4:00 ( so bad ). Time to finish my chores and I think and call it a day, I do not sit still well. Sitting and talking is more tiring I believe than a full days work. Officially a day of rest! Back on track in the morning.

It was a beautiful weekend and I'm sad to see it go. Seems like they go by so fast and *poof* it's Monday again.

Did a weights workout yesterday with a 1/2 mile warm up and today, I did 4 miles between the elliptical and the treadmill. I haven't lost a lot of weight since adding my strength, but I've gone down a size in my jeans and I've lost inches (although I don't know how many cause I'm too lazy to measure).

We're celebrating Valentine's Day today and we had a very yummy grilled swordfish with a warm fennel, orange, red onion and oregano salad. Not flavors I'd usually put together but saw the recipe and thought we'd give it a try. Very yummy and low calorie. Of course, the hubby got a desert too so am glad I had a good cardio workout today to help offset the cals.

Happy early Valentine's Day to you all. May cupid be kind and the hubby's and significant others believe in pretty, shiny, sparkly things :bigsmile:

Good Evening Walkers :happy:

I didn't get out until 3 PM to get my walk in. The weather was beautiful! 70 degree's windy, sunny & clear skies. I walked to the beach & back Home, A total of 4.22 miles, It took 1 hour and 26 minutes.
I hate getting out that late to exercise, But I had to Clean an office first UGH:grumble:

I hope you all have a great week, sure wish the weekend wasn't over :ohwell:

Have A happy Monday everyone :flowerforyou:

AZChatterB

Hello, Walkers.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and has fun plans for Valentine's Day. It's also Arizona's birthday, so as a single and unattached gal, I'll celebrate that! :laugh: ! My personal goal this week is to stay away from Valentine's chocolate -- think will power! :grumble:

Sandy, great news on the test results from your doctor; your hard work is paying off. :flowerforyou:

Jeanette, I love Leslie Sansone, too. This is the one program I've been able to stick with, especially on those days where you just don't feel like working out you tell yourself you can do the 20 minute one mile (which usually turns into thinking what's ten extra minutes and doing the two mile, and so on and so on). :bigsmile:

Make it a great week, everyone.

AliceLMS

Happy Valentines Day!

pmjsmom

(OK, she's dancing, not walking but she's still getting some miles in!)

I only walked around the grocery store on Saturday but I had planned on that being my rest day, anyway.

Yesterday, though, was sunny, even though more pouring rain was predicted, so I took the baby for a 4 mile walk around the neighborhood. Kept up a pretty good pace and also met a few other babies. Everyone was taking advantage of the unexpected sunshine!

Also spent part of the weekend going through my clothes and sorting out the things that are too big, Have a bag to donate now.

Raining again today so will get some walking done inside.

TeresaSavage

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! MFP FRIENDS

pmjsmom --- Funny! I also have a bag of old clothes Im donating too :bigsmile: . It's still sitting by my front door.

I Just walked 2.35 miles today, 45 minutes :grumble: . I like to get at least 1 hr in, but I wasn't feeling it today.

Need to get ready for work, Hopefully You all have a Wonderful Week!!!!

Hi Everyone! I know I am jumping in a little late in the game, but I just received my Leslie DVD on Saturday!! I am so excited, I tried the 1 mile last night and again this morning. I love it! I am a single mother as well as owning my own business so it is way to easy to come up with excuses not to exercise. So far my daughter (4) is having fun exercising with mommy. Since I am starting in the middle of the month my goal will be 20 miles (2 down 18 to go) Can anyone tell me how to add a ticker for my miles??

Thanks
Kimberly
