Leslie Sansone - Walking at Home - September Challenge

Walked a mile the other day just to get a little bit of exercise in for the day. Planning to either go walking or hiking today.

Weighed in today and it says I've lost 2.4 lbs. I'm a bit skeptical since I've been at this plateau for 4 weeks...but we will see. I recently upped my calorie intake, some people told me to try that to boost my metabolism and get out of my plateau. So we will see if that works. I'm going to start a new strength training routine today. It includes 3 mins of continuous plank pose! Whew!! Here's to that lol.

Here is my updated ticker from the other day. I will update again if I do more miles tonight.

I really need to catch up!

I didn't think I was going to be able to sneak in any walking today, but I haven't missed a day yet in the challenge and I didn't want to miss today. So at 10:30 pm I popped in the 5 mile Walk It Off & Tone It UP dvd and did 30 minutes doing miles 3 and 4 and part of mile 5. According to the dvd, I did over 2 miles....but I'm logging it as having done 2 miles for the day. I just got out of the shower and now off to bed.....good night all!

Day 11 of September walking challenge.
Did WATP Walk IT OFF miles 3, 4, and part of 5.

Goal- 50 miles
Miles walked - 34
Miles to go - 16

Goal: 30 miles
Miles walked: 9
Miles to go: 21

Day 8 of the challenge!!! Today I did 5 miles (4 mile super challenge and 1 leg toning mile), 50 squats and 5 minutes of punching bags!

Miles done: 40
Miles to go: 60

I need to get going! Only 8 walking miles so far, but also have done 5 Zumba sessions as well. Hoping to get some major walking in when going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter this week when my friend comes into town!

As for hitting that plateay, I had hit one a few weeks ago. Well, I say mini-plateau. The meeting that week was, ironically, about hitting plateaus and how to get over it. She said to mix it up, so I tried to put more emphasis on eating more protein at lunch. Switching your exercise a little. With that kick, I've lost about 7 pounds in the last two weeks.

I guess I took an unplanned 4 day weekend from WAH Amp up Challenge for my birthday. I will be back at it tomorrow.

Tuesday's Challenge:

50 push-ups

50 squat jumps

How does everyone else log their "Leslie miles"? I have just been logging it as "walking 5.0" Am I giving myself too much credit? I'm still a bit new to MFP and trying to get the hang of it! :-)

I've wondered this too, it seems it should be more than just the miles walked because of all the arm movements and the ones that use the weights or bands. I am logging the 3 mile walk as walking 4.5. So far I have not done any of the higher mile walks so not sure about them.

It appears I did not set a goal on here but I think I meant to set it as 63 for the 21 days at 3 miles each. I am at 25 as of today so will need to kick it up a notch to meet that goal. Nice to finally be back on track though. You all are doing great, we need a spreadsheet!

I don't think I logged in last night to record how many miles I did yesterday. That's what happens when you do WATP late at night!
So day 12 of September walking challenge.... WATP 3 Fast miles.
Tonight, for day 13 of the challenge, I did the same thing....3 Fast miles.

September gGoal- 50 miles
Miles walked so far - 40

Didn't walk over the weekend but I have done some the last couple of days I will admit last couple of days I haven't done the mini challenges but mainly due to I already do these in my usual workouts and do more of them so I feel its redundant to do again. I will try to get better at this starting today.

Goal 45
Completed 20
Miles to go 25

Got another 4 mile express walk in today. Should have worked out yesterday but didn't. :indifferent: But at least I have 3 workouts in already this week. Tomorrow I hope to get up early, get a walk/Zumba in and then over to the Wizarding World! Wanting to have Butterbeer so badly, so am hoping the workouts will help with that! :drinker:

I do need to start doing the mini-challenges too. I keep forgetting them!

Day 14 of challenege.....Walk Strong 2 miles ....with the intervals using the stretchie band. My arms are hurting so good! LOL.

September Goal- 50 miles
