    I didn't do my treadmill walking today, but we were so busy at work, I probably got more of a work out :smile: I am off for the next 2 days so it will the treadmill for sure tomorrow and some crunches using my excercise ball. Also, I have a question. If I get some 3 lb dumb bells, will that make me not have the flab in my arms? I really don't want that flab. Any suggestions?

    Good morning everyone, I havent logged on in a while but am making a goal for myself to start tracking everyday! I decided to start walking and just looged in and saw your posts here, is it too late to join?? Im at work today, Walked 20 minutes out of my 30 min lunch and walked 10 minutes on my break this morning...Alot more than I usually do. :blushing: I forgot to turn my pedometer on so im not sure how many steps I walked....

    I have alot of weight to lose, and sometimes the hill seems like I'll never get over it, but I need to make a commitment to myself...I dont want to die plain and simple...Im getting scared...Im getting winded, hard walking up the steps, i am totally sedentary and refuse to be like this anymore!!

    I hope you dont mind me joining!! I look forward to having walking buddies:happy:

    Good evening everyone:flowerforyou: WTG everyone walking away those pounds.:smile: I didn't get to go on my hike this weekend:cry: Had to do yard work. I spent 2 hours and 45 minutes pulling weeds and picking up trash :noway: I didn't realize how many calories you burn just doing yard work. I'm sure I burned even more than it said because it was so darn hot out and I was sweating like a pig:laugh: Went to 2 flea markets today and walked around for about an hour. Bought a really cute size 16 just to see if it would fit (it only cost a dollar) I think another 10 lbs aught to do it. ( a little tight in the chest)Came home cooked and then rode my bike 6 miles in 45 minutes. Again sweating like a pig and extremely tired. Tomorrow is weigh in. Keeping my fingers crossed for at least a pound. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday evening:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Rosemary

    I went to the gym with my daughter tonight. Did 2 miles on the treadmill and my pedometer hit 10,042 today. I usually only walk 1 mile so I hope I can move tomorrow. I hope everyone else is having a great week. :flowerforyou:

    I went for a 45 minute walk this evening after work. This new job may have a LOT of ugly stress with it:grumble: but at least I always get off in time to go for a walk, AND I get home in time for dinner with the family.:happy: That hasn't happened in nearly three years.
