SWaT Walking Group

Feel good today and actually got myself to the gym to do cardio and strength training. Feeling good! Not planning to weigh in until the end of March unless I feel like I may experience success. Don't want to focus on the number as much as how I feel. I think I'm in range to meet my target goals for this month. I really have to make myself lift weights. Love the walking/cardio but weights are not my favorite way to spend time...

March Week 2
Monday~4.5 10/weights

Wednesday~3.5 miles
Thursday~3 miles

Hopefully tonight I can get some weight lifting in. Gotta go, must stuff some lunch in before heading to work. Ugh !

Welcome Dawny78- it's fine to join anytime. We all set our own goals for walking and strength training if you choose to do so. Go at your own pace. Go to tickerfactory.com and choose an exercise ticker, set it up the way you want and then copy the Bbb url into your signature under message boards on this sight. As you progress, update your ticker, and remember the code you chose to access it. I have to recut and paste each time I update because I can't figure out how to change it any other way. Clicking on mine doesn't work. Sandy on this thread may be able to help you.:flowerforyou:

I wish i would have found this thread earlier would still join though

I know what you mean. I'm so glad Sandy started this challenge and I'm so glad I found it early on when beginning this journey. It has kept me on track and the people on this thread are so supportive and fun to chat with too!:happy:

Hi Everyone!

I'm glad to see everyone off to a good start this week.

Alice you deserve a break. I think your one of our most consistent walkers. Sometimes you just need a day of rest.

Welcome Arwamya & Dawny78. It's never to late to join in. There's still half of the month left and we'll be going on into April too. So just set your goals and jump right in. :bigsmile:

I think we need to make some detail instructions for the ticker setup that we can repost whenever we need them. It is a little confusing. Maybe we can get something together by this weekend??

I did the 3-mile workout with the walk belt from the 5 mile walk dvd. I need to do some weights but I still have dinner to cook. :sad:

Keep up the good work everyone.

Sandy, Do you know how to change your ticker by clicking on it? Mine doesn't work that way. I have to go back into tickerfactory and sometimes make a whole new ticker because my codes don't pull up the right ticker. Putsy! Just looking for a simpler way...

Jenny

I have to work hard to get this flab off. :bigsmile:

With the new time change, my morning walk was :grumble: :ohwell: :huh: I HOPE Tomorrow Im back in the grove

Thank Goodness Mondays over :drinker:

Sandy-Thanks i'll try that tomorrow.
TATennis- wow great job on your weight lifting routine. You're increasing your minutes too. Feel stronger?

Didn't get to walk today or at all this weekend. My darling boy decided to share his respiratory infection with me... and I'm asthmatic... so until my lungs aren't so gimpy - I can't do much, BUT - I'll get there!
Glad to see everyone had such a productive Monday!!! Keep up the good work!
