I had trouble getting my TV and BluRay player synced and working this morning and messed around with til I only had time for one mile....and a disjointed mile at that.

Getting serious time!! I have been going up and down with my weight since before Christmas. Was hoping to even up and get back to what I was before the holidays started (156)....this week I am at 160, which is my personal panic number....so I am updating my signature and getting serious. I've really had trouble staying away from treats since Christmas. With Val. Day and my birthday coming up, I will still struggle with it. I'd like to be back to 156 by my b-day, then back to 150 within a couple months. Then I am going to decide if my original goal of 140 is realistic or not. If not, I want to maintain at no more than 150.

Here I go!!

Well shoot... I don't know what to say mile wise... according to the DVD (5 mile slim down) I did 2 miles (mile 1 & 5) plus warm up and cool down but according to my pedometer it was 1.85 miles total. Oh well either way I worked for over 30 minutes.

Picked up the 4 Mile Power Walk DVD today and I must say I loved it! Did all 4 miles and definitely felt my calves burn!

tubolard, I don't know how you do 60min with 4lb weights. I did 2 more with weights and 2 without for a total of 6mi.

AnnieDrews · 02-03-2013, 12:15 AM

Note to LuvCats-Don't worry if your pedometer doesn't match the DVD exactly. I have never worn a pedometer and just go by what the DVD is set up for. Just keep moving!!

No exercise for me this weekend. Bad food day today, but plan on a much better day tomorrow.

I would like to aim for a min. 3 miles on Mon thru Friday of next week. Just need to be sure I get to bed early enough and get up early enough to do so. Would like to see a pound gone by the end of the week.

Thanks AnnieDrews. I'm going to keep it up.

I did a mile today but it was walking my dog so not sure if it technically counts on this board. Ha ha just glad it counts for me..

I do want to try to work into the 3rd mile a couple times next week.

Great job everyone! Keep it up!

I just bought the 4 DVD collection and am going to do my first walk today. I'll post how it went

Jennifer1966 · 02-03-2013, 03:38 PM

I did the one mile with 3 pound weights, and it kicked my butt! It was much harder than I thought it would be, but it makes me super glad I bought this video. I'm thinking a week or two at one mile, then I'll advance to 2!

Sun. day off.

I built up sloooooowly, lol. I can't remember who it is on here that does 10 miles with I think 5 pound weights and I don't know how they can do it, well yes I do know. Slowly and carefully.
When I started out I was doing 1 mile in 18 minutes (huffing and puffing the entire time and I have to admit I might have possibly used a few profanities toward Leslie

) and could barely do the arm section with only my hands as weights, if I could have popped them off to make it easier I think I might have done it, lol.
I think you are doing a great job! Everything we do all adds up, think of where we will all be in a month, heck even just a week and we all are so much stronger and better then we were!
I came in today even though it is my day off to live vicariously through you guys' exercise, I know I need a day off but I miss working out on Sundays, I am so weird huh, lol.
Thank you for what I took as a great compliment, it made my birthday a little better!
