How many of us are in snow or ice? Not to bad here but roads are pretty drifted.

Morning, all!

Welcome, to our new walkers!

We have cold weather here in Western Washington but it has been sunny and warming to upper 40's by afternoon. Unusual for this time of year--I guess all our wet weather went east and turned into snow and ice! Sorry about that!

I walked a bit more than 3 miles at work yesterday but haven't done any videos--too tired after work. I'll try to get the extra exercise in in another week or so once I have adjusted to my new schedule.

Sabrina--Glad you are back with us! I try to check in every day but I may start using this time to walk instead. I'll just have to see how it goes.

Time to get ready for work. Have a good day, everyone! Stay warm!

Thousands attended a local Global Warming Protest today!

Well Im not allowed to shovel. So I went downstairs and did 4 miles today. Had to push myself through the first 2, third and forth were easier. Husband has been outside snowblowing for hours and is only half done. Then he has to go to work. I feel really bad!


These are a couple websites that we get our tickers from:

Create your ticker then copy and paste the bbCode into your signature on this website.

Leslie, thats funny about your dog. Mine kept me up during a thunderstorm in the night awhile back. Then napped all day while I had to be awake. So I woke him up a couple times just to get him back...lol. I know mean huh. It made me feel better at that moment though.

1 - 3.22 mile walk
2 - 3.76 mile walk


So far I'm 100% this month, hehe woo hoo! I am trying to get faster for an event in April, it's 3.4 miles. Today, I couldn't IMAGINE running the entire course, as walking/jogging it takes me 1 hr right now! But I know that if I keep it up and walk/ jog often, I will get faster and healthier along the way.

Brings me to 6.98/35 for the month!

Got 5 miles in today, my little one was sick today, so i ended up not going to work. Made the best of it while i could!

I want to join also, I love the walk away the pounds DVD's that is what I've been doing for my weight loss. My goal is 40 miles for this month.

Welcome all new comers!!
Hi Group!!!! :flowerforyou:


I didn't do my walk today! My day Off. I had two cleaning jobs to do today, So My DAY OF REST!!
I will be out there tomorrow morning, So I'll log in again tomorrow.
Just want to say Hi!!

It's way past my bed time, So Night Night !!! :yawn:

Hi - up here in Canada (I'm in Toronto) we got a fairly big dump of snow as it came up from Texas and then from Chicago. It wasn't as big a storm here as in some places and certainly not the amount predicted - but we don't usually get big dumps of snow anymore so it was quite exciting - schools and universities were cancelled for the first time since 1999. Usually the big storms are deflected by the Great Lakes over to the Maritime Provinces. Instead it is just really cold here - in fact today it is -16C / 3F but fortunately not much wind, so not much wind-chill but cold enough though that the dogs sweater froze to the ground this morning when he went outside and all the buttons cracked off when he tried to get up. Brrrrr.

Thank-you pmjsmom for posting the videos - they will be my saving grace when it isn't so nice out. :flowerforyou:

Have a great day everyone and to those digging out, be careful of your backs!
Cheers, Cathy

It's been rather nice here in Western Washington (Lacey--near Olympia). Cold--but not as cold as most of you--but sunny. In fact, it is a LOT colder where my youngest DD is in San Antonio, TX. They are in the low 20's with a wind chill putting the temperature around 15 degrees.

I got another 3 or so miles in at work yesterday but am still coming home too worn out to do any videos. I will start them again once I get used to my new routine.

Hello Everyone!!!

OMG! Thats to funny about your Dog. Unbelievable funny, AWE The Poor Dog

Managed only a short walk today with the pooch. I have a question though about adjusting the ticker. I've been going into Ticker Factory and re-doing it each time then adding to my signature, I'm wondering if there is a simpler way?

Hi! I love to walk, so happy to have found you. I'd like to jump in with a goal of 50 miles. We're covered in snow, so most miles will likely be indoors.
