Two miles last Saturday. Windy, so a bit cold. Walked the two in 32:17. We were at Lake Manawa State Park, Iowa. I had a Bald Eagle following me! This time is down from last fall, I was 42:43 at the Omaha Corporate Cup, September 2012. I have four 5K planned for next month. Walking them. One will be hilly, so I am doing…

Label reading in the store has caused me to put several items back on the shelf! If something is 41% of my daily intake, NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!! I try to steer clear of processed foods, sodium causes me to retain water like a sponge. Water retention causes my BP to go up. This means lots of cooking from scratch at home. One…

5' 8.5" yesterday at doc's office. Now I feel short! May I stand on a phone book? :wink:

I too have a bp issue. On meds, gained weight. I am off the couch since the first of the year and you can see in my picture I am down 24 pounds! Get with your doc, walking is a great exercise and generally won't spike your heartrate/bp as much as other exercises. Start with walking and work up to running or weight…

One step at a time, one day at a time. Awesome!

Register, run the 5K or walk, just get there. Personally, I walk a 5k. Haven't since last fall, and I have been training. Anxious to see what my times will be now. Have four lined up for next month and just one, the Berkshire Invest in Yourself in May.(this is the first one and I really wanted to participate). I am…

you are an inspiration! Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

From the HR geek in the crowd. Document, document, document. (don't take it overboard, but you get the picture). Take to your boss, if they can't act, won't act or retaliate, go to HR. If the same happens there, then get a lawyer. What was said in your handbook about harassment? This will also give you a path to follow.

Good for you!

Amen to that! I am trying to get off my BP meds too. Will see on Friday how I am doing. Salt is causing me to puff up like a balloon, so I am trying to watch the levels in my diary.

When our girls were younger, I would take them to a local park with playground equipment for them and a walking path for me. Worked! They go older, I stopped walking, weight went up. Now walking our dog to get back in shape. If the kiddos legs give out, have them ride bikes, trikes, skate.. you get the idea. Congrats again…

3mile Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds. 45 Minutes of walking and body sculpting.

You just had three of your 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies in one meal. Try rounding out your intake of nutrients over the day. Maybe a glass of milk with breakfast instead of juice. Drop to one slice of bacon. Check your pancake mix, whole grain? Sugar content. One fruit for topping is plenty. Honey, can be good, but…

running your 5k or walking it?

M-F some strength training with a resistance band at work, different ones each day to target a different body part. Standing Mason Twist, 90 on each side every week day. Px90 for abs, just added last week, need to slim the tummy! Walking, about six days a week. I have my goal set at 40 minutes of exercise each day, need to…

correct my turn on 11th to RIGHT. You will end up at the car dealers if you go left. :blushing:

Can you do a two miles? There is a walk next Saturday at Lake Manawa at 10 am. The runners will either do 10k or a half marathon depending on the weather. We walkers and beginning runners will just stick with our two miles:smile: Entry fee $4. The two is pretty flat. I am a walker, so I will always do the smaller races, up…

Try having a small protien and carb snack in your locker. Everytime I am in the water, my bones feel like mush when I get out. Have a snack handy so you blood sugar does not crash.

yes. A small pedometer will help you track time, steps and distance. Lots of options out there. Look for a 2 or 3 axis model you can pin your pocket.
