    :heart: Hi everyone :flowerforyou:

    I was finally feeling good enough to go on my normal walk....although I sure coughed a lot when I was done,lol. Hope you all are doing good :smile:

    Jenna....I sure hope you can find some insurance that's not so pricey. Hopefully a doctor can help you figure that stuff out!

    Good morning walkers :flowerforyou: I just finished my AM 3 miles- 50 minutes. I will walk 2 more tonight. Today is my upper body strength training routine . I will also do side leg raises. I did squats while I was in the pool yesterday. I'm going to do 50 today in the pool too. I hope to swim 2 hours today. Everyone have an awesome day! Cindy :heart:

    well i'm guessing the exercise/wheat idea is not it. I didn't exercise as long or as hard as I normally do (made sure I was in a cool place with a fan on me) and I waited 5 hours after I ate to exercise....and I have new hives this morning. :grumble: fantastic...:grumble:


    I think it's time to call the doctor...tons of money or not.... :ohwell:

    Is it possible it could be bed bugs? You said you wake up every morning with them and they started when you got back from Florida (maybe they hitched a ride back with you). I guess the bites look like hives. If that isn't it, have you changed your laundry soap, regular soap, shampoo, lotions lately.
    I'm sorry you're going through this - it must be so frustrating! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks girlies :blushing:

    I walk just about every day in the evening once it cools down. I walk 5mph for 35 to 50 min's. I LOVE music...so I have my mp3 player set up with really good songs, and walk to the beat:happy: That really works great! Some songs have faster beats then others so it makes me push myslef!:wink:

    Hi everyone....I know this challenge has been going for awhile, but I love to walk/hike, so I wanted to at least stop by and give everyone an 'atta girl!

    :drinker:

    A lot of people underestimate walking. I personally lost 50lbs from hiking and just the act of doing it has changed my life. I still have a long way to go weight-wise, but the process has brought to me a previously unknown passion.

    Good luck all!

    Hi walkers- :flowerforyou: 5 miles for me today in 83 minutes. It was 105 here today. I don't think I've ever sweated soo much. I also swam for 1.5 hours and did my upper body strength training routine. I hope everyone had a fab day- nighty night- Cindy :heart:

    Good morning everyone! :flowerforyou: So I have to note some bad news about my foot :sad: :devil: :grumble: I have plantar fasciitis among other things that I cannot pronounce and am undergoing cortisone treatments and may possible have to have surgery :explode: :mad: :grumble: :noway: :sad: I was also told no impact exercises and I have to stay off my foot as much as possible. YEA RIGHT! :noway: :cry: :frown: So I have been told no walking or treadmill for sure and I can only use a bike...dont have but will look into and swim. Thank goodness we just bought a house with a pool. I am very frustrated because I feel like this has put such a damper in my routine and plan. I know I will overcome but I HATE SETBACKS! :grumble: I am going to swim walk....it's my own new exercise and I am going to do my best to keep up with you guys. I hope you guys will still keep me in the challenge....I really appreciate everything you guys do to help and support me. Thanks for everything :smile: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :love: :drinker:

    Hi Spunkie- I'm so sorry about your foot. It must be so frustrating. Don't worry about us keeping you in the challenge- of COURSE we will. Walking in the pool is great exercise! Please take care of your foot. I hope the shots help and you have a speedy recovery. Cindy :heart:

    Spunkie....I think you're a KEEPER!! :love: I will be praying for your foot to heal quickly. Until then, just focus on swimming. I hear it's great exercise for people who have joint problems, and you don't even realize how many calories you're actually burning. Keep us posted on your healing process!
