    Hi Everybody, I've been slack about checking in. I did 3 miles Saturday and 2 tonite. Not as much as I'd like but at least some. I've been working late but hopefully we're done with that for a while. I'll have to catch up with everyone's posts.

    Didn't do much walking the past few days, even though I really meant to! I should make up for it tomorrow as I am attending a rally and the rules are--you have to keep walking!
    I also plan on getting some in today.

    I have papers to fax to my DD in Texas (she passed the test for Dental Hygienist School) and I need to print out some papers for tomorrow.

    Also need to straighten up my desk and start working on a kitty pendant I am making for the fund-raiser and also my DD and a friend at work.

    Going to be a busy day!

    Hello, Fellow Walkers.

    I missed a mid-week check in, but there wasn't good news to report. As suspected, my overindulgence resulted in a gain, 2.3 pounds --- YIKES! You would think that would motivate me to get walking, but I let other things, including a pity party, get in the way of walking on T, W, and Th. Thank goodness for weekends. I did the Five Really Big Miles on Friday and the Five Mile Walk It Off & Tone It Up on Saturday (and then had a lazy day today). I know I'm eating healthier, but I'm overeating, so this week I need to refocus on portion control.

    Hope you're all on track with your goals. Have a good week!

    :flowerforyou: Happy Monday morning!

    I had a good weekend with lots of walking though I only counted 5 miles of it as it was a lot slower than I am used to.

    Working on portion control and food choices. It's much harder now that the price of food has gone up so much but I'm managing!

    Only 3 days left in this season and then I hope to get a better exercise schedule going.

    It's supposed to be a nice day today so I plan on getting some weeding, etc. done after work. :flowerforyou:

    Oh - "boosted walking" is Leslie Sansone speak for jogging and other higher impact moves. Leslie only does "boosts" in short bursts (90 seconds) - so the workout is still mostly low impact. Better for my joints - I can do these workouts on carpet or a heavy weight exercise mat.

    I guess the "power" in the other DVD would be the light handweights - no part of that workout is high impact.

    Haven't done much walking--only 5 miles total so far for the week.

    A bunch of my friends got laid off on Monday when Lowe's closed 20 stores over the weekend, my DD in TX is having a hard time finding financial aid to continue school and I am just depressed and eating all the wrong things.

    I WILL get out of this funk I am in.

    This is my last day at work for this season and I am going to concentrate on healthy eating and exercise habits. (And maybe I'll find a job that isn't temporary or seasonal!)

    Walked 4 miles yesterday--2 with the Biggest Loser walking workout in the morning and 2 with my grandson (he was in the stroller). Sure are a lot of people in the neighborhood that have decorated for Halloween! (We did, too!) Looks good!

    Plan on walking downtown a lot today and taking a walk after supper again--it was nice!

    Walked a total of almost 6 miles yesterday but I counted it as 4 because I did a bit of stopping. I also spent some time SLOWLY walking around an antiques mall downtown. I saw lots of old memories there--especially the decorations my mom used to put out every year for the various holidays.
    I hope to get in a walking workout today and also go for another after-dinner walk. I am finding that I really enjoy the evening strolls, even in the rain!
