    are in for some serious thunderstorms this morning. The skies were darker than usual and there is a strong wind. I did 5.5 miles in record time and here I thought walking into the wind would prove to be too difficult. It was energizing and walking with the wind behind me was as if I was flying.

    You always gives us so good descriptions of your surroundings :happy: . Keep on doing that, it's appreciated

    PinkyPan1, I agree with Alex that it is appreciated, as well as very enjoyable to read/ see the world through your experiences :smile:

    Thanks Texasgardnr!

    As a moderator I liken you to be a seamstress, grabbing hold of each tiny thread and pulling us together.

    Since joining I can look back and see the story of this quilt and am encouraged by the goals, words and insights that continue to inspire.

    Off now for a glorious walk outside this morning.

    Good morning all! It's was beautiful morning to take my walk. I did 5.5 miles this morning and experienced some aches and pains. I came home and did 15 minutes of yoga and feel so much better. I suspect I did not warm as well as usual and that may have been why I I was hurting. Let's hope so....I can fix that. I am looking into getting a breathable knee brace today to see if that helps too. Here is wishing you all a great day and happy walking.

    Good morning fellow walkers. I thought I'd share this with you. This group has really motivated me. Aside from broken treadmills, new TV's (a SMART TV that is actually smarter then me cause I can't figure it out) and being unable to work my blue ray with the new TV, I am finding a way to do my walks. Late last night, and after a crazy busy day, I did 3 miles with hand held weights on youtube with LS before going to bed. Slept like a baby. Thanks to all:happy:

    Cool morning out there folks!

    Pinkypan1 I do hope you are able to get some relief and glad the yoga helps. How are your shoes? Depending how many miles/type of surface and our steps wear on shoes can effect our body.

    And nonacgp- fabulous!! It is so good you were able to bust through the "crazy" and settle into a workout. It is good medicine indeed.

    Track area was peaceful this morning and I had the space to myself until the youngsters turned up for tennis lessons.

    Happy walking folks!

    Yay for you nonacgp!!! You are a good example of persevering over obstacles and potential excuses!
    PinkyPan1 - take good care of yourself! I hope the knee brace helps. Listen to your body :)!
    Startergal53 - ah... The peaceful walks are so nice and good for mind and body.

    I just received my WATP Ultimate Collection! So excited, I didn't know what to do!
    Chose the 3 mile Advanced Walk ( love that group of walkers) then added 20 minutes of another Pilates DVD with resistance band.
    Need to go check my total but I'm ahead of schedule for my month's goal I think.

    Fridge started to make noisy sound (sounds like a washing machine). Had a repairman over but he couldn't find the cause. Hmm, 2 years old Bosch fridge that cost 1500 USD. But that's insignificant. Such things are unavoidable and a part of the life.

    today before the morning coffee: 0.5 miles
    today after the morning coffee: 7.5 miles

    total to date: 67 miles

    total calories to date: -5600 cal

    I usually can't do this too often, but I have some extra minutes right now before my DH gets home, so I’m gonna give some shout-outs to any one who posted since I last posted yesterday. Y’all make my day when I get on here to post my miles and I get to read all of your lovely posts :flowerforyou: .

    @ startergal53, thank you for your sweet words. Now that was an amazing word picture that you drew for me. Again, thank you!! That is awesome having the track to yourself this morning.

    @ PinkyPan1, I do hope that the breathable knee brace will help your knee not to hurt. I’m glad that the 15 minutes of yoga helped you to feel better today.

    @ nonacgp, bravo for you for finding a solution to your current, and I hope temporary, technological woes. YouTube to the rescue!

    @ Healthymom_5, the WATP Ultimate Collection was my first ever LS DVD. And still one of my favorite go-to DVDs. I absolutely love the 4 mile Super Challenge. I simply love all the WAP Express walks.

    @ 2essie, you just keep adding in those pounds. You are always so precise in counting your miles: “4.79 miles walked today”. How do you do it if you don’t mind sharing? I used to plot out walks and have a number of them on an internet run mapping site. But if I changed my walk up even a bit, or walk with a neighbor, it throws everything off. So I count minutes now.

    Alex, I am sorry about the refrigerator acting up and making noise. Hopefully it will work itself out since nothing can be found wrong. Google/ search the name of the fridge and the problem and you just might find out some information that helps you solve the mystery. I’m proud of you for keeping your commitment to walk a bit or more before your coffee.

    @ AnnofB, 2 miles of Debbie Rocker's Walking for Weight Loss and 2 miles of Leslie's 5 Day Slim Down (Another DVD that I really like) is an awesome combination!!

    @ heavenlyb14, 6 miles today is rocking it!!

    @ bandit5125, your endurance must be amazing to have walked 90 miles this month so far.

    Aw, PinkyPan1, please take care of yourself! Rest days have helped you before and I hope it helps your knee this time! Everyone needs them from time to time - it can do wonders! You're great and such an encouragement!!

    " @ Healthymom_5, the WATP Ultimate Collection was my first ever LS DVD. And still one of my favorite go-to DVDs. I absolutely love the 4 mile Super Challenge. I simply love all the WAP Express walks. "

    Texasgardnr- Super Challenge and the express walks were my first too, years ago! For some reason I no longer had them. Seeing AnnofB mention the Super Challenge helped me to remember, "THAT'S the one!!". So I ordered the collection and LOVE IT! I really enjoyed the Super Challenge this morning and recalled so much of it after all these years! Was able to chatter along with Leslie, lol!

    Okay i'm about 10 days late joining this months challenge but I am going to set a 60 mile goal for the rest of the month. So that should put me at 3 miles per day for the rest of the month.

    I love leslies workouts and i always come back to them, they're easy on my knees and not super intense but i still get an awesome calorie burn!

    Thursday:

    0 miles: 0

    0 outdoor minutes:

    Goal for July: 40 + miles

    So far: 20 Leslie/ or other walking DVD miles

    So far: 180 outdoor minutes

    Needed an extra rest day today :ohwell: .

    @ 2essie, thanks for answering my question about how you are measuring your outdoor miles. That is cool the fitbit can do that :happy: I've been pondering getting either that or something similar someday. But too many decisions when I was looking at the fitbit and other such devices lol.

    @ Healthymom_5, yay for having the Super Challenge w/o again!! So much fun to answer Leslie's questions or make comments before she even says something :laugh: . Or sometimes I find myself getting ready for a new movement right before she announces it :tongue: . Or to know when to change up a movement because Leslie is distracted and is talking and doing knee lifts for forever :laugh: .

    @ PinkyPan1, feel better soon :flowerforyou: .

    @ LouAnn , congratulations on your daughter getting married! Cheering you on toward your weight loss goal!!

    @ partywalk, welcome to the challenge! Yes, the walks are both effective as well as easy on knees and other such joints. Even if a certain move is too bouncy or not good for someone to do, one can always modify or substitute another move!

    See y'all tomorrow :heart:
