February (2023)
WELCOME to all walkers!
Tomorrow we start another new month, and another new challenge for February. That means that it will be time to start our second challenge for this year! So lets make February an extraordinarily amazing month even though it is the shortest month of the year. Start overs are available each and every day, as well as each month here on the Monthly Challenge.
Crisp and cold, and probably more snowy ❄ weather is definitely here for many of us depending where we live. Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs or workout/ walking streaming opportunities continue to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking outside in the winter ⛄ 🏃♀️.
This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home DVD or streaming workouts. Other indoor choices might be the treadmill, as well as other walking instructors, or strength workouts.
Outdoors there are also those great walks or hikes outside on the trails or pathways that are available to us, or a walk in our neighborhood. 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 strength workouts or miles/ minutes that you have walked or other ways to workout/ exercise and get stronger, however you did it... it is all good!
We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that this challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!
Set your goal for walking 👟 📆 or workouts 💪 😅. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.
If you find this challenge in the middle of this 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
!
In other words, 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
It is always encouraging to read which form your walk or workout took today. We all could use some new inspiration sometimes.
Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk and Workout Challenge together. I know that I say this often, but I am truly grateful for each one of our walkers who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month. Especially when life gets in the way and some are not able to post, we are grateful for those that are able to 💐. It is also encouraging to have new walkers join in!
So now... let us lace up those walking shoes 👟 and get some water 💧 ... as we begin to walk into February of 2023! Come join us as we turn yet another calendar page... and walk our way to a Happy and Healthy February.
Let us continue walking strong, and with the determination!
Blessings

I am going to copy (with a bit of edit for February) what I wrote in my last post for January to explain how I am starting out in February.
"January started out very slowly for me since I had spent the last two weeks of December with friends, family and especially some of our grandchildren, which was a great joy. So I decided to take the first two weeks in January off of everything and rest and do some things that I wanted to do, or needed to do, to catch up with things, and some just for fun things also, and just be lightly active with no planned "exercise" as such since I found my self more tired than usual it seemed.
Then I thought that I was catching a tummy virus or the flu, and began to become quite ill so that I went to an urgent care only to discover that I tested positive for Covid and negative for any flu. This took me by surprise as I had tummy issues and no fever, but felt sicker than I have been for years.
I am still recovering from some symptoms and fighting fatigue. I am being active as possible, while resting as much as I need to, and doing easy things or activity. About a week ago I started tracking my steps again to see what my activity level is now, and have been able to do some random house work and more activity."
I re-post the above to say that I will be starting out slowly and see what I can accomplish this month. I am also rethinking some things about exercise and food for this new month.
I am looking forward to a new monthly challenge with you all. So let's walk and workout strong this month, and love every minute of our month together 💖!

Oh, @texasgardnr I'm so sorry to read that you caught Covid. I've had it twice now and take it from me a slow and steady pace for healing is the only way. We added Vitamins C & D, Turmeric, and electrolyte powder drink mixes to help.
Last month I eeked out my mileage so this month I'll roll back just a few miles.
I hope we hear from both our old and new walking friends.

@Deeder522, wow, you sure did hold down the fort for us all. Thank you for hanging in there even though it was quite lonely around here.
You also did amazing closing those rings! Well done 👏🙌 having all of those green check marks in your posts! I'm so sorry that you had Covid twice. It has been many a decade since I felt this sick and drained of all energy.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words that you wrote to me. I really never had enough energy to even check in on MFP, or even our walk group. So I am grateful that you were holding the fort down... all by yourself. Thank you so much 💖.
I finally started to feel more like myself last week, just in time to discover that we had a water leak. It was behind the water heater so I was sopping up hot water. It turned out to be a pipe in the slab that brought water from the hot water heater.
Today was the first time since the middle of January that I felt well enough to actually drive my car! I went to the store to pick up a few things that we needed. Some things were changed around in the store so I got in some extra steps trying to find things. It was great to accomplish that!
I will see you and hopefully some other of our walkers in March. Again, thank you for holding our fort down!
