WELCOME to all walkers!
The September Walk Challenge starts tomorrow, so now is the time to be thinking about our new monthly challenge goals!
Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors, which for some of us may still feel like summer
. For those who will be soon enjoying the onset of cooler weather, walking or hiking outdoors might well be a pleasant alternative to the DVDs especially for those who enjoy getting their miles or minutes outdoors, and have the opportunity to do so, as we move closer to the wonderful sights, scents, tastes, and of course the amazing colors of Autumn.
This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home DVD workouts, as well as those great walks or hikes outside on the trails or pathways that are available to us, or a walk in our neighborhood, and on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs. All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! Post your miles or minutes that you have walked, however you did it... it is all good!
We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that joining this walk challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!
Set your goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like.
If you find this challenge in the middle of the month it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome
!
So if you are new to the group please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late to join in
Tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking !
It is always fun to read which DVD, whether Leslie or another instructor, that you used. Or whatever form your walk took, whether outdoors or on the treadmill or anything in between. We all could use some new inspiration sometimes, or inquiring minds sometimes just want to know . So please share if you would care to
. (pretty please 
)
Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I know that I say this each month but I am truly grateful for each one of our precious walkers who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month.
I know that we are all excited to see our long time faithful walking friends
join us for yet another amazing month together, and we are awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge!
And now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into September 2016!
Let us walk with a smile

Well, last month was a total bust! For those of you old enough to remember this song, I kind of got stuck in the The Hazy-Lazy-Crazy Days of Summer! However, I am back in MI, the fall semester begins next week and I am rededicated to walking this month (and getting my eating back on track as well-no more soda and pretzels and beer!) :laugh:
September Goal-4 miles per day/ 120 miles this month3 -
September goals:
- 120 miles
- 10 days over 10,000 steps
- Get the paper work done!!
- clean and repair mom's house - ready for sale.
September goals will be a challenge!! I am probably being harsh on myself. The grand kids will be here every Tuesday, plus any days the other grandparents are harvesting. I need to get my pension papers finished up...hopefully they arrive in the mail in sufficient time.
The scale has finally moved downward, I have moved a lot more since retiring in mid July.

I am in for 100. I usually round down when tracking my miles. This month I am going to note the exact amount distance and see if I am cheating myself.

I am in, been a busy month last month. I tried to do my Leslie walks but my knee is not up to it yet. I have been getting a lot of pain again especially at night. going to back off a bit and only do it when it is too yucky to play outside. I did get in 193 miles last month, so shooting for 130 this month. Good luck everyone!

Just DO IT!! Lilymay! Putting it off is actually more stressful, which messes with your cortisol levels, disrupts your sleep and makes losing/maintaining weight harder. :noway: I do this with grading all the time. Put it off, put it off, put it off and when I actually do it, it is never as bad as I thought it would be! GO FOR IT!!!! :laugh:
