    Michelle, I'm absolutely certain that walking played an integral part in breaking the plateau you were on!! Well done! I love that walking is becoming your new GOOD addiction. What a good way to phase out other unhealthy habits :drinker: .

    Texasgardnr,

    You're doing pretty well, yourself, especially in light of your injury. Thanks for the encouragement and happy attitude you bring to this thread, Mary. :flowerforyou:

    Happy Friday,

    Ann

    Thanks Ann. That was sweet encouragement to read your post. Guess what??? I did the 5K With a Twist this afternoon!! Boy could I tell that I haven't done a DVD in over a month now, even though I've been walking outside much of the time the 5k DVD was a challenge :noway: . But I did finish it :happy:

    I think need to change from miles walked to minutes walked, that will be much easier for me to keep up with...I love to walk with/on my Wii and have no idea the actual miles I walk, so instead of "guess-ta-mating" I'm changing to minutes....

    So since almost half the month is already over, (I have been walking) I'm gong to change to : 500 minutes for the rest of the month

    :flowerforyou:

    Start: 500 minutes
    Walked: 180 minutes
    Balance: 320 minutes

    6 more miles this morning. It was hot and humid and I am not going to lie I thought about quitting but then the saying "Do not quit until you are done" kept me going. I am so glad I hung in there. Have a great day everyone!

    Great work PinkyPan1. It's like walking through a giant wet paper towel sometimes here in the South. Have to say I'm not like Leslie. I DON"T like to sweat, even though I know it has it's purpose.
