Walked on the spot with hand weights while I watched curling on the TV. Then went outside and took my dog for a walk. Even accomplished something in my office. Still went to bed feeling very anxious... way too much on my plate ...need to get rid of something!!

Hang in there. I wish you peace my friend.

Looks very nice outside - I am going to get my 5 miles today!! Check in later...

Great job everyone. And Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

I'm still persevering, but going slowly.
I'm working with Leslie's Walk Away the Pounds, which uses hand weights, but I have not used them yet.
I was doing my walks at the beginning of the day. Twice I tried the 2 mile, but ended up feeling quite weak and dizzy both times, and it seemed like it took a while to recover. I think it was because I had not eaten. I normally do not eat breakfast, so I was probably weak from lack of fuel. Now I am trying to set a time later in the day - but if I don't do it before supper, I often feel too bloated to move much.
I also want to work up to using the hand weights. Over the years I have suffered a few times with tendonitis in both arms, plus a right rotator cuff injury. My upper body is very weak, so needs some work - but I need to go into this slowly and not overdo it. I hope to start doing some modified hand weight activity soon.

Goal March 11-31: 20 miles

As of Mar 20 1 had walked 9 miles

Since then I have done 6.5 miles

Total as of today - 15.5 miles.
4.5 miles to go.

Thank you all for being here and doing this challenge. Without this I probably would not have been this consistent.
I'm looking forward to moving into April, and gradually increasing my distance, and using the hand weights.

hollyhock1009 perhaps try eating a piece of fruit when you get up or even a small piece of toast. I myself prefer to exercise in the morning - lots of times it gives me energy to continue the day and I know that I have completed it instead of worrying about squeezing it in later.

I love your determination and enthusiasm....go girl!!

Lilymay2, congrats on hitting 100 miles, even if it's not to your goal yet. I can only dream of doing that, at this point.
Congrats to PinkyPan1 and Deeder522 too, for your accomplishments.
You are all a great inspiration to someone very new to this.

Made my goal!

Goal for March 11-31: 20 miles

As of Mar 26 1 had walked 15.5 miles

Since then I have done 5 more miles - so total as of today - 20.5 miles. Yippee.

I used the weighted balls on 2 of the 1 miles this week. I had planned to just hold them, and work up to the exercise movements, but I just ended up doing them anyway. As a newbie exerciser, I am really feeling it!

Good for you making your goal and working out with the hand weights. You are doing great. I hope to see you at next month's challenge.
