Zumba was very hot tonight. The gym had no circulation. I sweated buckets so I drank extra water tonight. My rear was sore today from my bike ride! My bike is getting a tune up now since the chain fell off.
It was a beautiful day here but in the low 50's I think. Sunny and blue skies though.
My HRM should arrive tomorrow so I'll be able to see how many calories I'm really burning and eat accordingly.
Good night!:yawn:

Hi Everyone!
Late check in for me tonite. I did get in 2 miles at lunch today. I had to make myself go and walk. I think I'm getting a chest cold or bronchitis now of all things. I really feeling like such a whiner these days and I hate to come here with a new complaint every day. I guess I'm just getting old! :laugh:
Tomorrow is another day!0 -
Sandy-It sure has been a year for illness. I had more colds than usual for me. Now allergy season is revving up too. Do you have allergies?

Hello, Fellow Walkers!
Mid-week check in...
Maynard: Congrats on your maintenance! What a feeling of accomplishment you must have. :drinker:
MFK: How was your 5K last Sunday? I did my first this past March and hope to do more; a year ago, I wouldn't have even considered it. Walking on such a regular basis (thanks, supporters!) gave me the encouragement to sign up and complete it.
Teresa: Like you, I've cut out bread, pasta, and potatoes. It's made such a difference (along with regular exercise). I also read that corn is a starchy vegetable, so I cut that out, too. I'm about 40 lbs from my goal weight, so trying to stay with it. I'm so glad I found MFP; logging calories and exercise and sharing with the community has really helped.
Have a good week, everyone. Keep walking!

Got 1 mile in today, better than nothing. Last night was a long night. my foot was not used to being up on it for hours.
I just need to keep telling myself { this to shall pass :grumble: } I will get back up there as soon as my foot is ready0 -
Hello,
Another Mile in my lunch, I am so glad the weather is really started to get warmer and not rainy.
Have a good night!0 -
Hello !!!
I walked 2.85 miles on the treadmill and then did 30 minutes of weight lifting
AZchatterB.... Same here! That's really why I haven't eaten Corn in years. Luv it! But I can do without it too. I prefer Sweet potato and brown rice PASTA and No bleached flour in my breads. My bread I buy is " sprouted 16 grain & seed" Its $4.99 a loaf some times on sale for $4.69 BUT WELL worth it! It is so filling
You all Have a Great Night!0 -
I found you and thanks for the invite! I am here and today I walked 2 miles I will have to get a cool ticker! My monthly goal is 60 miles that is 15 a week! I have already got that this week and hope to surpass my weekly goal this week!0

Welcome red5! You've got a good start to this months walking goal!
My HRM arrived and is all set to try this weekend. I was able to squeeze in a 2 mile very brisk walk tonight outside. Busy evening. I had my first acupuncture session for my arthritis, sinuses and hot flashes. I hadn't had a session in 3-4 years. It was wonderful. So relaxing and now to see how I feel tomorrow. My next session is Monday. You attend session close together at first and then back off to occasional when pain is gone.
Good night everyone!

I also did another 30 minutes of weight lifting today.
I hope you all Have a wonderful weekend!
AND WELCOME RED5 :flowerforyou: So glad you joined us.0 -
Happy Friday everyone!
I got in a 3 mile hike at the off leash dog park today. Love it! Its so beautiful there and the dog is in heaven. Now he is passed out by my feet...lol.
Have a great weekend guys!0 -
Happy Friday Everybody,
Welcome to the group Red and I'm happy to see some returning members too.
I felt horrible yesterday but went and did 2 miles at lunch anyway, I just forgot to post it. Today I woke up feeling like a new person, maybe it was allergies??? I've never been bothered with them before but I guess there is a first time for everything.
I did my 2 1/2 miles at lunch in the same time it took me to do the 2 miles yesterday. I knew I had to go out tonite and couldn't walk at home but maybe I'll get in a WATP this weekend. I sure need to.
I hope you all have a great weekend and a very happy Mother's day! :flowerforyou:
Just so I don't forget I've got in 6.5 miles so far this month but I haven't updated my ticker yet for May.0 -
I just finished a very brisk 3 mile walk using my HRM for the first time. My calories burned were 368 but MFP would estimate 381. Not too far off but now it feels good to have my stats personalized for me so I don't eat back too many exercise calories.
Weather here was beautiful today and I think it hit 70 or so. Now it looks like we will get rain for the weekend, blah! We need to do yard work badly but it rains or is freezing every weekend.
Happy Mother's Day to everyone and take time to relax too!

Hello Fellow Walkers,
I walked 2.5 miles today, that was 1.7 for a walk at lunch and then the rest was in the mall shopping.
I also thinking chasing or watching my 4 year old go crazy in the Disney store counts for burning calories. Tee Hee.
To all the Mothers, Have a wonderful Mothers day!

Everyone sure seems to be walking! I am in and out here--very busy at work and home! Working mostly on my food choices and portion sizes--I have slacked on that and I want to get back on track.
to all the mom's in the US and Canada!
Have a wonderful weekend!0 -
Well I got 3 miles in today. Foot doing pretty good :bigsmile:
Will still be glad when it stops swelling.
Everyone have a wonderful Mother's Day0 -
My feet are and joints are sore so today is a rest day for me to let my joints and muscles recover. Tomorrow I hope to dig in my gardens and ride my bike for exercise. Clouding up here so hopefully rains over night and then is beautiful for Mom's Day.
Have a wonderful evening!

Just got back from a 3 mile walk. It is beautiful outside with a light breeze, Couldn't pass it up.
Happy Mothers Day to you all!!!!!0 -
Happy Mother's Day Everyone! I just changed my exercise minute goal to 800 minutes for May. That includes everything I do that is active and works muscles, heart, etc.
Finally managed to get out to my front garden this morning before the rain came. I cleaned it up, gave it food and now can see what I need to plant for annuals and add a couple more perennials. I have gardens on either side of the house but didn't get to those yet. We are expecting rain for the next few days, ugh!
Enjoy your day with your friends and family!

I hope everyone had a wonderful mothers day!
My Mom and I had a GREAT time together. We had Lunch at Chili's restaurant & then shopping at Ross & Big Lots & drove around looking for houses forsale. Came back home and just sat around relaxing & having coffee together.
Later on I jumped on the treadmill for 20 minutes, SO I got 1 mile in :bigsmile:
Good Night!!!!0 -
Weekend check-in...
I'm on target to make my goal, but I do notice I'm not using the four and five mile walks as often as I have in past months. Does anyone notice whether they are better to walk every day (or almost every day) with a two/three mile walk or four to five times a week using the four and five mile walks? I only lost two tenths of a pound last week, but things have been so busy I notice that I'm doing more of the two mile walks to at least get in a walk.
Have a great week, everybody!

I walked almost everyday last week. Didn't on Friday because I was walking a lot on Sat. I walked 4 miles! Today I will be starting again. 2 miles a day until the end of the month or at least 60 miles for May!0

Good Morning Ladies!
I just walked 3 miles on the treadmill / 1 hour, Then I worked out 30 minutes lifting weight's.
I feel like I lose weight a lot quicker when I go for my 5 to 6 mile walk 3 to 4 times a week then when I'm walking every day 3 miles on the treadmill and only get a 5 mile walk in twice a week. :bigsmile: Actually I walk every day of the week anyway except this weekend because of the holiday.
Since it was mothers day yesterday And I had a communion to go to on Saturday, I didn't get any of my nice long walks in as I usually do on weekends. So I have a good feeling I won't be losing any weight this week. Just hope there won't be a gain.
Have a Great Monday!!!!0 -
I hope everyone had a great mother's day. I really enjoyed my whole weekend but now I'm having a hard time getting re-motivated. Maybe I have spring fever or maybe I just need a little break. Or maybe I just need a good kick to get me going again! :laugh:
Sorry I'm not being very supportive here guys but you are all doing so good I hate to keep posting my negative stuff. I'll try to do better.0 -
Hello,
Monday! Walked 1.7 at lunch and 2 miles with Leslie the 2 mile Express.
Whew back on track and I am loving it.
Hope every one had a nice Mother's Day0 -
I had acupuncture today for my arthritis. I'm not walking today because I want to feel the benefit of the acupuncture. Tomorrow I'm staying home and it is suppose to be beautiful outside. I'm going to garden, exercise and eat right.
Glad you all had a nice time with your mom's on mother's day!
