<3 !*! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !*! <3
*!* FEBRUARY 2016 Walking Challenge *!*
This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, we are walking on into the new year *YAY Keep going!*. Each month has its own thread.
*** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated****

Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in. :)

Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long, this is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.
RULES:
*no bullying
*no pressure
*just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, anything to get you moving.
*just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
*anyone can join in at any time.

    :) I'll be back to track my steps again in February....in January I succeeded in walking 10,000 steps or more every day.... :)

    :) I am fortunate to live in NW Washington where the weather is cooperative so I can walk outside every day
