I hope everyone had a great day ! Cindy

Well since I didn't get a chance to walk any yesterday I made sure to get 2 miles in today... Some of it was walking but I think most of it was the stationary bike at the gym.. I can't wait until it gets a little warmer here and I can really be out & walking....:sad: It's summer time and the weather is saying low 60's this weekend....
Looks like I'll be pulling out the Tae-Bo with Billy Blanks the next few days..... Good job everyone, you're doing great!!!!

:happy: YAY!!!!!!!!! I lost 6 more pounds...... I'm soooo proud of myself.... :laugh: I haven't been getting close to my 1200 cal/day though.... I know you're supposed to eat in the am for the energy and all but is it bad if you can't eat because it makes you sick to your stomach???? I've NEVER eaten breakfast since7th or 8th grade, and the past few years it's been that I can barley eat lunch either because it makes me sick... Any suggestions on something I could atleast eat for lunch that I might not get sick on???? I'm not sure why but those 2 times to eat I can hardly stand to even make my kids' food because of the sickness I get. Of course, I do it anyways.. They need to eat!!!0

I don't think I have logged in any of my miles this week. So, here goes....
Monday - Walked 1 mile in 15 minutes
Tuesday - Walked 1 mile in am (15 min), walked/jogged 2 miles in pm (25 minutes)
Wednesday - Walked/jogged 3.5 miles in pm (40 minutes)
All these miles are just estimates because I haven't had the chance to get in my car and map them out exactly. Does anyone have an idea where I can get a good but cheap HRM that will track # of steps or miles and/or calories burned?0 -
yeppers! I found the cheapest one yet AND it's a really good HRM.

it's 29.99!!!!!!!!!!!! :noway: :happy: and it has free shipping...but I wanted mine sooner so I paid the 6 bucks to get it faster
It's fantastic and I love it. It's helped me out A LOT.0 -

I just have to post a funny situation that happened to me last night while out walking!
I live at the end of a very looooonnnngg street (it's at least .5 miles long). I was coming to the end of my walk/jog and I rounded that last corner on the way home. I looked down to the end of the street and could see literally a "sheet" of rain coming at me! Oh No! I was already exhausted because I had been doing a combination of running and walking for lik 35 minutes already! So, I decided to push myself and SPRINT the rest of the way to my house!!!!! After falling in the door from exhaustion, I asked my husband why he didn't get in the car and come get me? His response was..."I knew how hard you have been working to meet your goals and I figured a little rain would make you work even harder!" LMAO!! He was actually right! I never would have believed that I could sprint that last 1/2 mile, but I DID IT!! YAY!!
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
lol! did you make it before the rain???0

Nope! I looked like a wet dog (complete with my tounge hanging out and all)! Hehehehe!:laugh:0 -
Hey fellow walkers!!!
Sorry to say that today was unfortunately not a walking day for me. :ohwell: This was due to the fact that I would have missed the last bus home had I stayed after work to work out at the gym. :grumble: Stupid bus!
BUT, on the bright side, hubby had gone out earlier in the week and gotten our bikes tuned up, so we went for a 40 minute bike ride!!!! For him it was leisure (that man is in such GREAT shape that sometimes I want to sock him!!!), but I ended up getting a pretty good workout (at least my HRM told me so).
Good luck and good evening to you all!
Cheers, :drinker:

Hello Ladies :happy:
Glad to hear everyone is doing well! I got some walking into today after I did my circuit training. I'm waking up really early tomorrow to go to the gym before work. Yuck, not a big fan on waking up early.
Stratdl biking sounds like a good idea. I haven't had my bike out in YEARS! Maybe I'll get it out this weekend.Thanks for the idea
Hope everyone has a good night! :flowerforyou:0 -

I just got home a few minutes ago and wanted to go get my walk in. But I am so tired. I've been running around all day trying to get ready for my daughter's birthday party Saturday. Anyway - I looked at my pedometer (which I wear all day every day) and I've walked over 10,000 steps today!!! I never do that! I'm usually at 3,000-5,000. So - consider my walk done for the day! Pedometer says I did 2.87 miles today. :bigsmile:0

Just make sure you have a nice comfy seat!!! After about 15 minutes (of the 40), every time I went over a bump, I'd say, "Oooh, my girl parts!!!"As in, OUCH!!!! My girl parts are being smashed!!!!! :laugh:
