    This weekend was almost one of no exercise; eating entirely off plan. I've got to step my game up and this challenge will really help keep me accountable. Waiting for company to leave to Walk It Out.

    Sounds like a great challenge. I'll jump right in. I walked about a mile this am and I'll try for some more this afternoon.

    Keep up the good work everyone.

    Does anyone use a heart monitor? I am interested in getting one but would like to hear what others think first.

    I use a body media and like it. You can keep it on almost 24/7 - it does a lot - counts your steps - calories expended - physical activity, monitors your sleep and allows you to log in everything you eat - like we do here. It can be expensive but I got mine on a good sale at Costco. Feel free to email me any specific question before purchasing. Here's the web site.

    FabulousGia, I like how you recorded the date and miles that you walked, and I hope you don't mind that I use the same format, because even with a ticker from tickerfactory.com, it can get confusing, and you can lose track.

    3/1: 2 miles
    3/2: 1.26 miles
    3/3: 1.53 miles
    3/4: 0
    3/5: 2.37
    3/6: 2.80 miles

    Looks like we're both on track for our 40 Miles.... Good Job!!!!

    I use a Polar FT7. I got it a few weeks ago and I really like it. The watch face is a little big and since I haven't worn a watch in years, I find it a little annoying, but otherwise, I've got no complaints. The chest strap is perfectly comfortable; once I put it on, I barely remember it's there.

    So, I got in a 30+ minute walk last night, barely. I know it's only been a few days, but this challenge has made me go out for walks the last 2 days even though I really didn't want to. During the week, I'm pretty good about working out and/or walking, but on weekends, I really have to push myself to walk/run, either because I go out or I just get caught up doing other things. So far this month I've been able to stick to my goal of at least 30 mins/day.
    3/1--31 minutes
    3/2--44 minutes
    3/3--49 minutes
    3/4--44 minutes
    3/5--36 minutes
    3/6--32 minutes

    I am not sure what I am doing wrong with my ticker...still a bit challenged:grumble: but I have continued to walk-though I did not walk/run Friday :grumble: (my own fault for procrastinating in the morning) but I did walk/run (week 5 day 2 C25K) 40m minutes and I going to do week 5 day 3 right now! :smile:

    I did the same thing the first couple of times I tried to post. And kept having to go back and edit to put in the correct code. Try using the bbCode instead of the HTML code.

    Got on the treadmill at 5 this morning to get my walk in before work. Started my day off right and I felt energetic the entire day.
    Walked for 60 minutes.
