Hey, SmallSteps, I just noticed that you've lost 50 lbs. I'm so close to that I can smell it! I think I'll just sit here and be inspired by you :)

Small steps - where are you?

Lin

my butt is still incredibly sore..at least my thighs decided to take a chill pill

Thank you defenestrator I have never been anyone inspiration! It is pretty cool!

linJber I am around just been crazy stupid in my life lately! I am so off track it isn't funny!

Hey SmallSteps, don't get discouraged! Every day is a new opportunity to reach your goals.

Feel like I am getting a little bit back on track this week after having the stomach flu on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. I've been terrible about doing my situps/pushups. Going to start the program over again tomorrow.

5/16 Ran 2.5 miles, walked 3.5 miles
5/17 Walked 3.5 miles
5/18 Ran 2.5 miles, walked 3 miles
5/19 slept in
5/20 Ran/walked/hiked 7.15 miles

It's been easy to keep up on the walking at least, because my dog needs to be walked every day. I really liked the route I did today. I walked to the nature preserve, then hiked through it, then ran some of the way home. The dog was too hot, so I walked the last 1.5 miles or so. Will probably do this route again.

I'm bumping this thread back to the top.

I love this thread! I'm on a serious walking kick and friends have been so nice in joining in with me that I have someone to walk with almost every day of the week.

We found a beautiful street to walk down in our area, so we go 6 miles each time. Yesterday we were so busy talking that we walked further and ended up going 8 miles. It was so doable, though I was so through by the end. We do that two days a week and a 4 mile mountain hike every Friday. Been doing this for 3 weeks now and it feels great!

I'll try to log in more often and report my exercise.

Good luck to everyone!

hey, everyone. It sounds like there are some nice workouts out there.

JM Fan - your workouts make me tired reading them!

Small Steps - glad you're getting back on track.

Curvaliscious - good to see you around. I've either missed your posts or you've been pretty quite.

Got heckled yesterday with fat-phobic insults while running. It just made me mad and made me run harder.

Started up with situps and pushups again this week.

5/21 200 situps workout week 1, ran 4 miles
5/22 100 pushups workout week 1, ran 4 miles, walked 3 miles
5/23 ran 6.5 miles
5/24 ran/walked 6.5 miles -- a friend called me mid-workout and I talked through the whole middle section while walking. 200 situps/100 pushups week 1

It's not hard for me to work out this much. I like it and most of it gets done in the very early morning. But I hope that I start to see some more steady improvements in fitness/weight loss to keep motivated.

linJber- mine is nothing...just seeing 45 and 60 mins on yours tires me out...I hit 30 minutes and I'm like "NO MORE!" lol

May 05, 2012: Walked 3.56 miles.

May 25, 2012: Walked 2.11 miles.
May 26, 2012: Walked 1.86 miles.
May 27, 2012: Walked 3.08 miles.

I am so proud of everyone for moving it!!

Defenestrator People like that just piss me off and motivate me more! Don't let anyone bring you down!!

It appears I have gotten my grove back!!! Yayyyyyy!!

Hey, SmallSteps, you walked another 5k! Was that walk as hard as the race?

I am having an off-the-wagon Memorial Day weekend. It's not horrible, but there is laziness and pie.
