Hi!

I walked 5.6 miles

I'll try and lift some weights tonight



Have A great weekend!

sandara

Hello All! I hope your weekend is off to a good start.

Welcome to the group TaT. We're glad you joined us.

I did the 5-mile advanced walk today. I made myself do it before I go grocery shopping because I knew I would likely wimp out if I waited till after. :bigsmile: I think I'm almost caught up on my mileage, now to catch up the weights.

So now I'm off to do all the necessary stuff.

Hey Everyone!

WELCOME! Jeannar417 & TaTennis. Always happy to see new people join us. :flowerforyou:

I've had a rough couple weeks getting used to being on a new med for nerve pain. Im feeling ALOT better now. Hope it lasts awhile.

Ive been keeping up with my walking and strength training the best I can. I did get my Activity Tracker from S2H. I does work for the Leslie Sansone workouts but not as well as I was hoping because you don't move your arms the entire time (Its worn like a watch). So I got smart and tied it to my shoelace and it worked great! So thats what I plan on doing. I get 60 points for every 1 hour of exercising, then I get a code to download to the site. Once I build up enough points I can get gift certificates. Now I just have to see how long that will take.

Not much going on here this weekend. Rent a movie and make popcorn.

Hope you all have a nice weekend!

WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THIS GROUP. TELL ME HOW PLEASE.

Hi Trish, you don't have to do anything special. Just figure out what you want your goal for the rest of march to be. Post it and start walking. We're very flexible here. Some of us are doing strenght training also but its entirely up to you. Welcome to the group! :flowerforyou:

Marie, I'm so glad you are feeling better and back with us. I've missed you. I"m finally trying to get back on track. I need to check out this S2H tracker your talking about. Sounds interesting.

Went out for my birthday dinner tonight. It was really good. I had pecan crusted tilapia, sweet potato hashbrowns, roasted asparagas, salad, and of course dessert (turtle cheesecake)! I made sure to work out this morning to earn more calories. Now tomorrow weights and walking with more strict calories at meals. It was a nice splurge but it will not derail me from moving forward!:happy:

deannar417

I havent cked in this last week. I actually forgot. Sorry new to this. I have my tickers to show my progress. I havent added today yet. I started the 30 day shred and I"m very sore right now LOL So walking is a little hard for me. I will stick to it tho. Promise LOL :bigsmile:

jrbanta

Feel good today and actually got myself to the gym to do cardio and strength training. Feeling good! Not planning to weigh in until the end of March unless I feel like I may experience success. Don't want to focus on the number as much as how I feel. I think I'm in range to meet my target goals for this month. I really have to make myself lift weights. Love the walking/cardio but weights are not my favorite way to spend time...

Thank You! Group for the welcome. Nice to meet you Trish!

Marie, Im so Glad your feeling much better

Jenny, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Your birthday dinner sounded awesome, soooo yummy. I wish I had a restaurant down here that served that.


Walked 5.6 miles to the Mall & home. Now I need to lift some weights tonight, I missed last night :ohwell:

Happy Sunday Everyone :happy:

sandara

Happy belated birthday Jenny! It sounds like you enjoyed your day and that's what is important!

I've been busy today. I took my Mom (83) to Wal-mart and it always takes a long time as she can't walk so fast any more. But it was a beautiful day for getting out. Then I cleaned my kitchen, washed clothes and cooked dinner. Now it's 7:00 and I'm not feeling the urge to go exercise even tho I know I should. But I'll probably just fold the rest of the laundry and call it a night! :bigsmile:

It will be a short week for me, I'm off Thursday & Friday! YAY!

Keep on walking everybody!

pmjsmom

Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome, newbies!

dawny78

I'd like to join but not sure how to add tickers and this all so would help me train for the 100k trail walker that I'm planning to do
Is it still Ok to join

jrbanta

Welcome Dawny78- it's fine to join anytime. We all set our own goals for walking and strength training if you choose to do so. Go at your own pace. Go to tickerfactory.com and choose an exercise ticker, set it up the way you want and then copy the Bbb url into your signature under message boards on this sight. As you progress, update your ticker, and remember the code you chose to access it. I have to recut and paste each time I update because I can't figure out how to change it any other way. Clicking on mine doesn't work. Sandy on this thread may be able to help you.:flowerforyou:

arwamya

I wish i would have found this thread earlier would still join though

I know what you mean. I'm so glad Sandy started this challenge and I'm so glad I found it early on when beginning this journey. It has kept me on track and the people on this thread are so supportive and fun to chat with too!:happy:

Hi Everyone!

I'm glad to see everyone off to a good start this week.

Alice you deserve a break. I think your one of our most consistent walkers. Sometimes you just need a day of rest.

Welcome Arwamya & Dawny78. It's never to late to join in. There's still half of the month left and we'll be going on into April too. So just set your goals and jump right in. :bigsmile:

I think we need to make some detail instructions for the ticker setup that we can repost whenever we need them. It is a little confusing. Maybe we can get something together by this weekend??

I did the 3-mile workout with the walk belt from the 5 mile walk dvd. I need to do some weights but I still have dinner to cook. :sad:

Keep up the good work everyone.

Sandy, Do you know how to change your ticker by clicking on it? Mine doesn't work that way. I have to go back into tickerfactory and sometimes make a whole new ticker because my codes don't pull up the right ticker. Putsy! Just looking for a simpler way...

Jenny

Jenny, I have to go back to tickerfactory too. I saved it in my favorites and there is a button that says Edit/Update Data. Then you put in your pin number and change the miles to reflect your new total and hit the add button next to it. Then I always hit the next button to see the changes that I made. I don't repaste anything in my signature. It automatically updates.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Walked 2 miles today with Leslie. Snow is melting away and Wisconsin weather is becoming more and more promising for outside walking again. Yippie!

Marie - Glad to hear you are feeling better.

My Prayers are also with Japan!

sonjavon

Didn't get to walk today or at all this weekend. My darling boy decided to share his respiratory infection with me... and I'm asthmatic... so until my lungs aren't so gimpy - I can't do much, BUT - I'll get there!
Glad to see everyone had such a productive Monday!!! Keep up the good work!
