    Haven't done my official walking yet, but I did work hard today cleaning my daughter's house so I burned a lot of calories. My grandddaughter and I "strolled" after school, but I'm not counting that. Tomorrow will start the official countdown. I'm hoping to find time to do my ticker too.

    It's a week late......but, this flu is gone and I am out walking! Daily goal is 30 minutes to start. Today I did it with a 30 pounds kid on my shoulders!
    Lost three pounds total this week! MFP doesn't count it because I gained two pounds the first week of working out though. I'm happy I lost them again! lol

    Did C25K this afternoon--35 minute run/walk. Then walked with my dog 33 minutes this evening. About 3.8 miles combined.

    I wish I had seen this earlier, but never too late. I want to join in. Can I put what I walked yesterday down?

    I'd love suggestions for a reliable pedometer. I've owned several over the years but none were any I felt were really dependable. Would appreciate your input. Thanks! :smile:

    Awesome! Hey strolling is good too. LOL But I know what you mean by "offical" walking.

    Well, I totally went crazy the last few days (almost all of last week and the weekend)....end result of eating fast food and not exercising...9lb gain. But I'm back, and I got in 1 whole hour this morning of walking. :)

    Tonight I'm going to walk another hour to try and make up for not getting it in last week. I really need to find a walking partner for in the mornings. I can sometimes convince my husband to go with me in the evenings, but in the morning I am all alone...and an hour is very boring alone...even with my music. :yawn:

    Just my walk to work and back today - 1 mile. I did week 3, day 2 of my C25K training... The last 3 minute interval wasn't easy!

    I'm slowly adding the steps back that I didn't get in over the weekend. Just walked 3.5 miles here at work - see what I can get in tonight - only 16,000 to catch up.:wink:

    I got another 1.8 miles in last night and I have to admit that I am amazing myself having the endurance for that long a walk. Just a few months ago, I could not stand for 10 minutes, let alone walking nearly 2 miles in 20 minutes. Slowly but surely I will eventually become the runner I have always wanted to be. :smile:

    I don't know why I'm struggling! The weather has been perfect for walking, but I haven't been out since last week. I have a LOT of walking to do to meet my goal this month. Oy...
