Leslie Sansone June 2014 Walk Challenge

Hi all! I just joined the group today! I have a few Leslie Sansone DVDs that I enjoy, and I just ordered some more. I like the Three Mile Weight Loss Walk (with the famous second mile by Mary Kay that so many seem to love!). I can't wait to receive and try the new ones I ordered, which are Walk it Off in 30 Days, Belly Blasting walk, and Five Really Big Miles.
I think I will set my June goal for 40 miles. I won't be walking every day, rather mixing my walks with other DVDs. Looking forward to walking off the pounds with you!

Welcome Healthymom_5!! Mary Kay's middle mile is one of my favorite individual miles in my collection. I do that Three Mile Weight Loss Walk DVD when I start feeling the need to speed walk with Mary Kay lol. Otherwise it sits there waiting till then

Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited and grateful for the group!0 -
My goal for June will be 18 miles.
Each day I will try to walk at least 0.6 miles, since I figure that I can make that distance even on bad days. Last month, that is May, I did not miss one single day, and I even surpassed my goal. If I don't miss a single day in June I will have exercised for 60 consecutive days, and I hope that will establish exercise as a habit, which is my real goal.
May was fun, and everyone that stayed in for the whole month made amazing results :happy:. As Woody Allen said, eighty percent of the success is showing up. In the long run, showing up every day is what counts.
lidenalex, Cheering you on to your 60 day streak of walking daily! Awesome goal. Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging posts, .and the time that you take to write them is appreciated also.

Hi all!!! Sunday is usually my free day from planned exercise so I was so delighted when I loged in tonight and popped into the challenge to check things out to find so many walkers from previous challenges coming back :drinker:, as well as all the new walkers coming in to walk with us during June :happy:
I am looking forward to walking with each one of you!!
I have yet to figure out what my plan for June will be. I've been mulling it around and I shall see come tomorrow .
See you all here tomorrow :flowerforyou:0 -
Some years ago I read a book on habit forming, but unfortunately I've forgot the title of the book. I remember when the author tried to make a habit of practicing guitar. It went something like this:
Is it possible to learn anything from this when it comes to eating habits and exercise habits?Let's say that you want to learn to play the guitar and you want to devote 20 minutes each evening after work for it. You figure that doing this for 21 days will make it into a habit. So you make up a paper with 21 boxes and look forward that each of the 21 boxes are checked off, after 21 days. You like to play the guitar. What could be easier? You take out your guitar from the wardrobe practice for 20 minutes, put the guitar back in the wardrobe and check the first box in your list....
21 days later you happen to look at your list... There are 3 checked boxes and 18 unchecked ... So what went wrong ... Well after a frustrating work day.. you came home.. sat in the sofa... the TV control was at the arm's reach so you grabbed it .. just to see if anything good was on TV...
After pondering the facts for a while you decide to make a new strategy.. You take the guitar out from the wardrobe and put it next to the sofa.. and you deliberately take the TV control and put it into wardrobe...
21 days later you look proudly at the list with 21 boxes ticked of...0 -
Last month I failed miserably with my goal to walk 30 miles during the month. In June I stand again with the same goal of walking 30 miles and I already start the month with 2 miles that were made this morning! :drinker:
I completely forgot how the Leslie's DVD can be difficult! I finished the exercise sweating a lot and needing a big glass of water! But soon after I finished I could not stop feeling happy to have done it!:laugh: I have the feeling that this month will be great!0 -

Tabata_Mt, you are so right ~ "this month will be great!" Walk forward, and don't waste your time looking backward with remorse
.
However, you might need to look back with the idea to figure out why May went like it did for you, and then make a small do-able plan how to successfully progress on into June. There is power in the knowing..... and moving on with intentionality.
Here's to a great month for you :drinker: You already started strong today!!

Hi, I just joined this group because I'm hoping it will give me more motivation to lose the weight I need by my wedding on September 6. I ordered my dress this morning and I purposely ordered it a couple of sizes smaller than I am now. Hopefully it's not a huge mistake! Soooo, my goal for June will be 120 miles. Anybody have any tips to help me (not including any fad diets)?0

Hi, I'm new and I would like to join in. My goal for the june is 30 miles.

Welcome new walkers! This is my first challenge, too and I think you will agree It's encouraging to have the accountability.
Startergal53 - thanks!! You are doing great getting out there first thing!
Today I did one mile with Leslie (third mile of Nutri System Womens's Walk). Did that along with the first half of Slim in Six "Ramp it Up". I felt like my knees were a little sore and needed less walking and a little rest today.
6 miles for the month and 34 to go!
Have a great day!0 -
