    Hey friends, I did 4 miles this morning . We didn't make it to the pool today. The little boy I watch was sick today and he was super grumpy so we just played inside all day. I will walk 2 more miles tonight. I'm crampy and crabby myself thanks to my monthly visitor appearing today. :frown: I'm glad I weighed myself this morning. I'm curious to see if I'm retaining water tomorrow at weigh in. One good think is usualy I get cramps the day before starting and this time I did not. :smile: I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Go walkers go! Cindy :heart:

    I haven't tried it yet--I'm WAY too chicken! :embarassed: I am thinking that I'm about to embark on the one hundred pushups program. I'm intrigued and I WOULD have done the pre-test this morning if my hubby hadn't irritated me so much! :grumble: I need for him to 1) show me a proper pushup, 2) count my proper pushups (and not count the bad ones), and 3) time me between sets when I start doing the program.

    ...but he had to tick me off this morning by not really paying attention to what I was saying (yes, this is his usual routine, but every now and again I get fed up and scold him about it and he's like, "What? I listen to you!" and he'll then rattle off everything I just said as if it was a memorized shopping list! THAT's not listening with understanding!!! :mad: )...
    WOOO it's def butt kicking for sure! I was sweating out the wahzzzooooooo!

    I sure hope you wiped when you were done, then!!! :tongue:

    haha yea I took a shower right after :wink:

    I tried the one hundred pushups program, but I got so bored with it and didn't finish it. I'm usually not one for giving up, but it wasn't any fun. This 30 day shred is a lot of fun! Jillian Micheals really motivates you! Everything she says is so tough lol she basically talks you into doing everything and not giving up.
    I was excited when I started. :smile: I highly recommend it.

    Hi friends, How is everyone today? I just weighed in and I'm down 3.6 pounds. :smile: I'm debating if I should go for a bike ride or do the cleaning- I think the bike ride wins. :laugh: Have a great day everyone, Cindy :heart:

    Hi all!

    I went back to the track at the gym today after my week of treadmill training (to get my walking speed up) and I found that I'm averaging about 2 seconds a lap faster! Not only that, but I also went from a 37+ minute 5K walking time to a 35:15 5K walking time! :bigsmile: I am SOOO happy that I've improved!

    ...of course, I'll probably feel like I'm paying for it tomorrow, but that's okay, I guess. :ohwell:

    Oh yeah, it did help that I had fresh tunes on my iPod!

    Have a great day to all of you wonderful walking folks!!!

    Cheers, :drinker:

    way to go stratdl! That's great :smile:

    I need to get some more exercise in today. I did the 30 day shred this morning before work, but I feel like I could do more.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone...so as I previously posted...I did not get in the minimum of 3 walks last week but I lost 1.5 lbs at my morning weigh in. Today I took my daughter for a round the neighborhood bike ride and plan on doing my 30 minute walk after dinner. I did learn yesterday that I love marinaded artichokes and they are so low in calories! Another great salad idea for me...so hopefully this week will be better. Hope everyone is doing great this week too! :wink:

    Have you heard of Leslie Sansone? She does the "Walk Away the Pounds" DVD. You can get the whole set at Wal-Mart. It starts you out with a 1 mile, then the 2 and finally, the 3 mile walk. It is great for those days when it is raining or you just don't feel like leaving the house.

    I like taking my daughter on bike rides and when I can I go to the gym, there I do at least 30 min of some sort of cardio (although its been a while since I got on the eliptical) and then always follow up with the 30 min circuit training. I did not get there at all last week :frown: but this week I'm aiming for Tuesday and Thursday. I just got back from my 30 minute walk tonight!! So one day down! :happy:
    Have a great week!!!

    Those are fantastic videos!! I used them when I was on the Jenny Craig program (6 years ago) The only thing about any video with me is I get bored too easily :ohwell: But its definitely great to have for a rainy day!! Good luck to you!

    Thank you... How did you get your ticker to show up? I must need "Tickers for Idiots" I can't seem to get mine to work. I followed the directions in "HELP" . I would like to join the walking challenge. I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure if I do it correctly, but everytime I sign on to MFP I go to my ticker and get the code, copy it so I can paste it after I post something. How do you like the site so far? I'm fairly new too, just joined middle of May. I'm loving it!!! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:
