    Monday-30mins
    Tuesday-10mins:grumble:

    So I've met my goal already for this week :drinker: So I'm making a new one to be 208 by this weeks weigh in...If I don't make it oh well :laugh:

    My friend is absolutely amazing! She knew that I was stranded in the house with my two kids [Kylie is almost 3 and Brookelyn will be 2months this saturday] Because when we go out, Kylie will only walk so far and then she gets tired and gives up...This is usually the length of 3 houses...There's a lot of work getting all three of us ready for such a short trip. Most of my walking is done when my fiance is home from work, but he works 9.5hr days & only gets 1 day off every 4 days, so we've been confined to our home. She knew I was desperate for a double stroller and found one this weekend at an estate sale, she and her husband surprised us with it tonight. I was almost moved to tears. I've been fairly depressed being so isolated...I'm an outgoing, social person. The most social activity I've gotten is with Kylie...While they are interesting conversations, I crave something more adult:laugh: I'll be taking FULL advantage of this stroller...No more not reaching this weeks challenge!!

    That is so awesome! Yes, I would have cried too! How thoughtful are they? :bigsmile: I have a 3 year old also, who WANTS to talk but she makes it a half block and cries. lol I bought a really nice jogger stroller at a yard sale last year, much easier with that stroller than a big old giant stroller. Now I am on the hunt for a trailer to put her in when we bike ride~ I am also a stay at home mom, so I look on craigslist for alot of things! :smile:

    Oh thanks....3 different walking trips throughout the day is how I did that. I did 50 minutes after lunch, 20 minutes waiting on the bus to drop off the kids, and then 35 minutes after dinner walking 1 mile with my daughters.

    Monday - 45 min of walking
    Tuesday - 45 min of exercise

    My goal is more to just exercise at least 30+ minutes a day because I'm still not in the habit of that. I'm pretty satisfied if it's anything even if not necessarily walking :D Looks like everyone's doing great this week.

    Challenge: walk 30 mins a day

    Monday: 30 min 1 mile walk
    Tuesday: 30 min 1 mile walk
    Wednesday: 30 min 1 mile walk

    This week aint going good at all. Saturday morning weigh in will probably bring a 203 weigh in at the least! But I atleast I'm still getting my 30 min walk in. I'm thinking about add Biggest Loser cardio max to my 1 mile 2x a day workout. What do yall think???

    :laugh: They're great at this age eh. And very thoughtful. The first real friends I've had in my adult life, they are always doing extremely thoughtful thing :D

    Monday-30mins
    Tuesday-10mins:grumble:
    Wednesday-NOTHING!!

    WTH! I blame it on this being a pretty crappy week...and that I'm just lazy. Any other week and my day's wouldn't be under 45-60mins of walking, but not this week:laugh: Oh well, tomorrow I have a good hour or so walk ahead of me so that should make up for something :D

    Tina try getting an ankle brace for your ankles. I have a weak ankle too (my dr almost dislocated it doing a stress test) from spraining it at least once a year from the time I was 9 to 19 from playing softball or just being a klutz. Any time it flares up and hurts my dr told me to use a lace up brace for extra support. It helps alot.
