    Hi ladies, hope you all have been having a good week--I have been trying to get walks in on my breaks and lunches at work. so far i only do about 3 10 min walks a day....I am off on Monday and Tuesdays and did my Leslie Sansone walk away the lbs...I am embarassed to admit but i can only do the first mile of the tape. :blushing: my goal for myself for this week and the coming week will be to do her mile walk everyday, and hopefully walk after work next week.... i have a crazy schedule working next week and will be doing a few overnights...but i'm there alone so maybe I can get some stretching in???? or jogging in place :ohwell: I am walking with my BFF tonight after work and have my pedometer so am looking forward to see how many steps I can put on today :tongue:

    Once you've done the Leslie Sansone tape for awhile you will know the moves well enough to do most of them on your breaks at work. Since you are alone, just do the best you can and enjoy knowing you are doing something GOOD for yourself.

    :flowerforyou: Good morning all just checking in :smile: Cindy you are an inspiration to us all:happy:
    On Monday I got up early rode my bike to my daughters and around the trailor park where she lives which is a mile, did that twice. My grandson was outside and said "I go mom-mom" so then I did wogging for a mile pushing him in his "Little Tykes" car. I jogged 2 minutes walked 3 minutes jogged 2 minutes walked 3 minutes etc. ( he loved it). til I got back to my daughters then rode my bike 3 more miles. Later that night I went over to babysit and did Leslie Sansone 3 mile just for good measure. I lost another pound last week, which brings be back to 34 pounds lost. Hope all had a wonderful Labor Day. Keep up the good work and remember to drink:drinker: drink:drinker: drink:drinker: that water, Rosemary

    Hi everyone! I haven't been doing any treadmill walking this week, I've been too tired after work. Got some walking in at work though. I don't no how many calories I have burned either. This evening I am going to get some walking in .

    I did my walking yesterday. :smile: Not sure how far I walked or for how long. It was the first time I didn't pay attention. I do know it was for awhile tho. It was refreshing and nice to not pay attention to the time. I didn't have to worry about pushing myself to go 10 more mins or to make sure I walked at least a half hour. I just kept going and going :smile:

    Now I'm gonna jet outside for a quick one before it rains! I hope it holds out until I'm done :tongue:

    went for another walk today, but didn't walk as far as I wanted to...my puppy was shivering from the cold so we turned around and headed back home.

    Looks like the thread is a bit quiet today. How's everyone doing?

    Walked at the park yesterday for 60 minutes--2.8 mile.

    Today I had to go for a shorter walk because of Moms ' Dr appt and church so only 50 minutes--1.78 mile.

    Hopefully it will be cool enough to walk outside again tomarrow.

    Hi walkers- I'm baaack- I've walked 16 miles so far this week. I doubt I'll walk tonight since I'm at work until 8 pm and then I need to go to the grocery store. I will walk tomorrow and Sunday though. Have a great weekend everyone ! Cindy :heart:
