Great work, ladies! Just over a week to go before the month is up, so let's KEEP MOVIN'!

I found time to get three miles in over the weekend and I spent all Saturday morning cleaning the house. Now, unfortunately, I'm on my way to a full-fledge cold. Not a happy camper. Esp. since my dad is coming up to visit for Easter. Have a lot to get done this week in preparation of the holiday weekend, so hopefully this cold doesn't get the best of me.

I hope all of you are keeping well... stayin' happy and healthy and all that great stuff! Take care, girls!

Hi ya'll! So glad spring is here. Hope it brightens my mood!

Ty Mel! Can't wait to start losing again!

Hi Cathy! Love how you post so often.

Ty Sherri! I'll be glad when this is over!

Hi Amy~ TY! I feel better already!

Ty Macon! I have Carpal Tunnel in both hands.. had surgery on one last year, which did not cure it. I plan for another one in June or so this year. Then the other hand next year. I managed a doctor's office for years and I think I'm paying for all that typing! Even though now, I think my hands do much much more! I had worked up from 2 lbs weights to 10 weights here at home every other day. I did a whole list of diff. exercises with them. My arms got so nice and toned. It really helped. Then my wrists were burning too much. Hadda stop. Which sucks. So now I am thinking, that the weight machines, like the butterfly, I can use mostly my arms, etc. Also, swimming this summer will help me. Also I am doing between 10k and 12k now. Stopped the 15 k. Just no time for it. Who can walk every single day for an extra 2 hours?? I have done it, but right now, I'm so busy with life, that it's not possible. So I think, well, at least I'm getting a full 10K. Right?

This is gonna be OUR YEAR everyone! I can feeeeel it!

Hugs! And I wish u all a great Easter holiday!

And me and the bf are going hiking again this weekend! Oh, and I got 2 of the 5 pounds off that I gained back. Yeah me! haha This IS our year Selina! hehe Later gals.

Hi all I am new!!
I think logging miles is a great idea.
I did 3.11 miles today... am I pathetic for counting the .11 miles???

[shoequeen69]

Welcome Krista! And you are definately not pathetic for counting that .11 mile. Every little bit counts!

I got in 1/2 a mile at lunch today. So that puts me at 20 for the month so far! Woo hoo! I'm going to try the 4 mile path after work today. I'll let you all know how it went. Later

[cathyxxx]

Welcome Krista! congrats on the 3.11 miles on Thursday!

Hi Ladies~

I am back again! I am really needing to get motivated so that I can stick with something. So if you don't mind me jumping in on this thread again I would love to. I'm not really going to count this week but have a goal in mind for April and will start counting the miles then.

Looks like everyone is doing a GREAT job with their walking! Keep up the good work ladies!

I'm new here and would like to join the Walkers. I probably will begin when the new month starts. I had a walking routine last fall and didn't notice any weight loss. I've gained weight over the winter and would like a healthy way to shed it. I've always enjoyed walking logging my miles is a great way to see what I've accomplished. Last fall, I walked about 25 minutes a day. If all I can fit into my day is 25 minutes of walking, is it even worth it? Also, can someone explain to me how the WATP videos work---meaning what exactly do they involve?

[FrouFrou]

Hi and WELCOME Healthy4Life! I have to say YES!!! Of course 25 minutes a day walking is worth it! I think any amount of exercise is good even if it is 10 minutes a day. 25 minutes is good especially since there are those who can do a mile in about 7-12 mns. I am not one of those but have known others who have so yes 25 minutes a day is GREAT! The WATP videos are just walking in place with some arm exercises involved in some of them. I have the 2, 3 and 4 mile ones and when I get on a roll doing them I thoroughly enjoy doing them. It goes by so much faster than actually walking on the treadmill or outdoors. But I like to switch up my routine as I tend to get bored easily so I walk outdoors, on the treadmill and do the WATP tapes (not at the same time) when I am actually motivated to do any walking. I am hoping to get in a routine again slowly but am starting on April 1 to get on a schedule for sure. I am tired of farting around and getting nowhere so I've made a goal of 25 miles for the month of April.

Take care ladies and have a GREAT walking day!

March is almost over...I hope everybody is keeping up the great work!

HI I am new here.. and walking is my exercise choice! wheni made this journey previously.. my goal was to walk 5-10 miles per day .. now i am starting all over after back surgery and being lazy for a few years lol .. I am walking and counting steps..

i was reading thru the threads .. just wanted to mention a site i dont know if u have seen this or not its called america on the move.. u can record your steps or miles each day and walk across the united states or various other scenic trails.. you also get a certificate when u complete it!!!

kinda keeps u motivated to think u have walked across the US!!!
