    I did 45 minutes today. I just saw this post so didn’t get a pic today. Fun fact: I did play some Pokémon Go on my walk.

    How do I join? I'm new to groups. I honestly didn't know mfp had groups! Will I get thread notifications?
    There’s no special thing you need to do. Just book mark this thread and come back to it once a day to post your check in and picture :)
    I’ve not figured out a way to get notices yet, I just check randomly though out the day. :)

    My walking partner. I only did 15 minutes. I wasn’t prepared for how cold it was and my neighborhood is small and boring.

    1. She is so precious!!
    2. Welcome to the group. I have a 2 year old so I know how hard it can be to even get away for 30 minutes. I usually try pushing my daughter in her stroller around nap time. She sleeps while I walk most of the time.
    3. You can either donate your candy to a local daycare. I know they keep stuff like candy around for treats on fridays if the kids are good all week. Or you could save it to put in her Easter basket.

    Stroller idea is awesome. My babies, all over 21 now :( , use to love being pushed around.. I bring my Halloween candy to work every year or to the bank.. The bank use to pass it out in the drive through windows, but stopped :( so now the guys at work have been happy to take the extra off my hands.. lol

    OMG.. I'm going to have to open my app again.. last year I was walking for over an hour playing that game.. The neat part was I didn't even realize an hour had past.. Thanks for the reminder..

    I had that for awhile. It distracted me from actually walking and I could never figure out how to fight at a gym. But I love collecting things.

    It is too bad that happened. There are a few scary dogs in my neighborhood too. I think I am going to actually drive my dogs to a park or trail to do some walking.

    I had to do my walking inside today too. I'm glad I have a big living room to make that possible! So, here's your pic from my walk- this is known as the laundry couch. It's never clear of laundry for more than a day. We try, we really do.

    I did 30 minutes at the mall. The chairs kept teasing me.

    @crazycatlady. I could’ve posted this SAME photo everyday for the past week! I finally folded and hung all the clothes this morning, otherwise my daughter wouldn’t be napping on that couch. I’m glad I’m not alone!

    Pushed my daughter in her cozy coup car/walked circles/pulled my toddler and 10 year old son who could barely fit in the wagon all on our driveway and street while hubs grilled on the pit! Here’s my fall decorations on my porch that I passed by a gazillion times. Also, great job everyone!! We are kicking this challenge’s boo-tay!!!

    Walked the park again. It was so humid. fsj1j5fctpqa.jpeg

    It looks so nice to walk there. It’s winter here and cold.
