    I don't have any equipment either. Walking is great! That's my plan. Or, if you have a pedometer, you could track your steps chasing the kids, and then calculate how far you traveled. :bigsmile:

    Welcome Hessond! :flowerforyou:

    Marybeth- You are doing your best and that's all that matters. 1.5 miles is a great start for the week. Keep up the good work!

    Well, I didnt plan it but Monday ended up being a rest day for me. I was tired! This morning I looked at my exercise log and realized I've worked out 9 days in a row. :noway: So, I guess it's a good thing I listened to my body and took that rest day. Im feeling good this morning so it's time to burn some calories and get some miles under my belt. :smile:

    Well, I fell down my stairs this morning carrying a load of laundry. It was quite scary, and ended up hurting my back pretty bad. I think I'm just bruised up, but there goes my walking for today, I can't even walk to the bathroom. :cry: I will have plenty of time to drink my water though, while I am sitting on the couch doing NOTHING! GRRRRR
