    Hehehehe :laugh: Everyone on here walks so much faster and futher than I do. I felt good after I walked 1 mile @ 2-2.5 mph for 32 min. on the treadmill, slightly uphill I might add , :wink:

    Way to go, Donna! We all start somewhere, you know! Right after back surgery a few years back, I was happy to be doing 1.0 mph--what an accomplishment! I think that as long as you're challenging yourself and competing with yourself to improve your own self, then you're doing great!

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers! :drinker:

    Good evening everyone!:flowerforyou: Sounds like everyone is pumped for the new challenge, :smile: I know I am. Today I pushed myself and rode my bike 5 miles in 45 minutes and walked a mile in 15 minutes at lunchtime. I had a really good dinner. 3 ounces of boneless very, very lean pork. about 4 tbs. Knor vegetable soup mix, 2 cup raw cabbage, 1/4 cup green pepper, 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 cup frozen broccoli, 1/2 cup frozen spinach, and about 4 baby carrots. I put it all in my Tupperware Cooker and put in the micro-wave for app. 20 min. 380 calories and yummy. :tongue: Hope all have a wonderful evening. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: drink that water

    Got in 6115 steps today. My pedometer says that's 2 miles. Still haven't had a formal walk - but I've just been running around in circles the last few days.

    Good morning walkers!

    Sounds like everyone is doing great so far! I'm going to for a walk in just a few moments:smile: ...looks like I don't have the day off any longer...picked up a shift...so I'll have to cut my walk to about a half hour.

    It looks like a beautiful day here in PA! How's the weather where you guys live???

    I didn't walk this morning, school started so it was crazy at this house. Rode my bike for 7 miles though in 30 minutes. Hoping to get a walk in after the kid's church group tonight!

    I just got home from work alittle bit a go and hopefully my feet will quit hurting long enough so I can get some walking in on the treadmill. I have been on my feet for 9 hours and these puppies are screaming at me :grumble: :laugh:

    :happy: I walked 45 minutes tonite. Part of it was across the full width of the parking lot at the grocery store in 101 degree heat. It may not seem like much to some people but six months ago I COULDN'T walk for 10 minutes in the grocery store because my knees and back hurt so bad, to say nothing of the breathing.:laugh: And walking across a parking lot was not even in the realm of possibility.

    Good morning all! It's raining out and makes for a lazy day, but I woke up feeling great about myself! I have to go into work today at 1 pm so my agenda for this morning is to drink a couple cups of coffee, eat my 1 cup of Cheerios with 1/2 cup of 2% milk, and jump onto the treadmill. :smile: I got on the scale this morning and it said I lost another 6 oz! I'll take anything as long as it's going down. :laugh:

    For me, yesterday was a really nice, high-intensity trip on the elliptical for 36 minutes. Nothing like pushing yourself hard to start the day!

    Good luck to you all today and have a great weekend, everyone! TGIF!!!!!

    Cheers! :drinker:

    Cindy, that ticker just keeps moving! WTG!!!

    Took yesterday off, it was hectic with the kids and I just didn't exercise. Walked / jogged 3 miles today, tokk my 9 year old with me and so it was slower, but it is so good for her. 411 calories burnt in an hour.

    well I fully intended on walking for about an hour today, but it's been raining all day. It stopped for a bit (which is when I decided to go out) and then it started pouring, so I went back bc I didn't want to be soaked. I did however get in a 16 min walk lol I went pretty far...maybe almost a mile.
