My new walking buddy! My stepson moved in with us, and he brought his dog. I have never had a dog before, and I wasn't sure how far is too far to walk for a dog, so we walked one mile on the trails yesterday.

September Goal: 3.5 miles/day recorded on my Vivofit with at least 2 Leslie 15 minutes walks each day.
9/1-WAH-WAP 1 mile walk X 2=2.0 miles total
-Vivofit tracked .5 miles=2.5 miles total
9/2-WAP-Ultimate Collection 3 mile Advanced Walk=5.5 miles total
-Vivofit tracked 2.0=7.5 miles total
9/3-Vivofit tracked 3.8 mile=11.3 miles total
9/4-Just Walk-WOP-3 mile walk=14.3 miles total
Hmm Tues & Thurs are going to be a challenge. I have to drive to an extension site, which is 30 minutes each way, so I am going to consider any walking on those days a bonus! I have never driven to an extension site for class and then back to main campus before and it takes up a lot more time of my walking time than I thought! Usually if I teach at an extension site, it is my first class and then I am on main campus for the rest of the day. This old dog is going to have to learn some new tricks! :laugh: Meh, we'll see how it goes.
@Deeder522 -Congratulations on the new client!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 It is so rewarding when hard works pays off isn't it! Thanks for the well wishes on the semester. It is going to be a challenge, but I am up to it!!! :laugh:

@RisingAboveIt -We have all been on the weight loss-weigh gain journey, but at least we know what works to lose it when we slip up. Welcome back and make those pounds sorry that ever decided to come back on you!!! :explode:
@AnnofB -Oh Ann, you are doing so well keep on the strength training train. I am thinking that November will be my month for the Walk it Off in 30 Days routine. I'm using you for inspiration!!!
@corinasue1143 - 10 minutes is a great goal to start with if you do not know how much you can do. Go for it and you will build up to 15 and then 20 and pretty soon, you will be amazed at how far you can walk. Go For IT!!!
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:2 -

Welcome Zhe139. Glad you joined us. I've got a Fitbit and love it. There's something about seeing the steps add up that makes you want to keep going.

@AnnofB thank you I just need to get even a mile workout in but it seems like I even work through lunch sometimes. We have a very busy property and there are 2 of there all the time. I get off at 6 so it is home, cook dinner, clean up and then relax.... LOL I will get it figured out just may take some time. But at least I am burning some calories walking the property in the morning in this TX heat1

Happy September everyone!
My September goal is to walk at least 60 miles. Planning on doing more BUT it needs to be a target I know I can achieve and I won’t beat myself up over / give up if I lose the plot.
I need to put my mental and physical health first this academic year so:
Mon - Wed (teaching days) = 1 mile a day.
Thurs - Sun = 2 miles a day. 1 mile a day is minimum.
I’m not including walking when I’m at work or counting steps with a fit bit or anything, this is just from going for walks and using Leslie Sansone.
So that’s the plan.
So far this month I’ve walked 8 miles. Started yesterday (6th) so that’s ok I think so far!2 -
@meganmoschops - "Planning on doing more but it needs to be a target I can achieve and I won't beat myself up over / give up if I lose the plot." Absolutely. It's a balancing act. Once you find what is doable for you, it's golden.
P.S. What a beautiful cat!1 -

@RisingAboveIt, looks like an awesome new walking buddy for you 🐶😁.
@Americanbabydoll, you are adding up those miles!
@corinasue1143, Welcome to our walking challenge! Those 10 minute "Walk Blasters" can be a great way to start. That DVD has a good variety of 10 minute walks that vary in intensity and focus. Let us know how you are doing.
@zichab, you can figure it out, if anybody could in your predicament. Thank you for the colorful birthday greeting 🎵.
@knjstolt, you are doing really amazing for going back to work after some time off. You are rocking it for certain!!! You go girl!! You are burning it in more ways than one when including the Texas heat 🔥 in the mix. It has been unrelenting with no rain (at least in my area) for way too long. Take care. My hubby works out in the heat all day also so I see first hand how hard it has been lately.
@Zhe139, welcome to the walk challenge! Your step/mileage using your Vivofit sounds like you got a good plan! Looking forward to your updates.
@AnnofB, you are walking "strong" indeed!! So proud of you for keeping up the strength workouts.
@meganmoschops, you sure have a well thought out plan, and have made a great start!! Welcome to the Walk Challenge group!!
My goal for September is to continue to be active in some way at least 5 days a week, while continuing to add in more Leslie miles as well as outdoor walks as tolerated. I will also include other things like yard and garden work to keep me moving, while allowing my knee to completely heal. OK, I'm gonna go out on the limb and start to add in strength with weights or resistance bands walks or workouts 😲👍💪😄.
September 1: Rest Day
September 2: Decided it was going to be an easier day. Counted 60 minutes between grocery shopping and some working with the garden
September 3: 3 miles Slim & Sleek 'Pilates Inspired Walk. 15 minutes yard/ garden this morning
September 4: 3 miles Walk Slim Fast & Firm, plus some gardening
September 5: 3 hours: a mix of errands & grocery shopping and work in the yard/ garden
September 6: 3 miles WAP Express: Advanced Walk, 30 minutes garden
