Took the weekend off because we had family visiting and then had a birthday party. Feel like I got exercise chasing after the kids.. but certainly didn't count in any miles... then yesterday we had fantastic weather - only got up to about 79 degrees (instead of the 100+ we've been having) so I went for my 3.5 mile walk for the first time in ages. My body felt it, for sure! I haven't taken that walk in a while and it was difficult.

Weather's supposed to stay this nice all week long, so hopefully I can pull in a few extra miles and make up for the weekend.

Great job SABRINA! I hope it stays cool for you wherever your part of our great state is! Ging to be very nice here in north San Diego county coastal.

Angie and I got the girls out for a "short" 3 miles this morning...very nice and cool. Perfect t-shirt and shorts weather. Keeping any eye on my one pups leg and not over doing it.

Brr!! It was actually windy and cool this morning when I woke up! What is up with Summer? First it rained for forever, then it was in the 100+ range for a long time, and now it's cool and windy outside?

I'm not complaining too loudly, I guess, because it's better walking weather than the hot days... after spending all those weeks in the pool getting my exercise, I forgot just how much energy and effort it took to lug around all this weight!

Another 3.5 mile walk yesterday.. and exhausted this morning, but I need to step it up because my ticker is moving in the wrong direction right now which is not a welcomed sight.

That puts me up to 375.3/1000 Miles

Cool morning here but nice for our 3 mile walk with the dogs. Plenty of people out at 6:30 with the cool weather.

So yesterday, I took a walk in the early afternoon.. did some laps around my building (1.5 miles) and then took my 3.5 mile walk in the evening as usual around the neighborhood. Total of 5 miles yesterday. I think my body is protesting because things ache and joints are swollen and I'm feeling very much the beginner all over again.

I know there's a certain amount of water retention, but I'm not liking the direction of the scale right now. I'm trying to ignore the nagging feeling that it's my fault, because I know I'm doing everything right, but the number has gone up 3 pounds this week since Monday alone.

As a woman, I'll just blame it on my cycle. That's it. It's my cycle's fault. Who would question that?

Anyway.. 380.3/1000 Miles

Sabrina: You can probably attribute most, if not all, the gain to water retention especially if your joints are swollen. Don't be too hard on yourself. Keep moving forward a bit at a time. Even if numbers don't go down you are making great choices that are good for you and your body!

EZMONEY: Thanks for the welcome and motivation!!

I'm up to 39miles for the month.
So...94/700

Typical morning here, being off work again today. Angie and I got the goldens out at 6:30 for 3 semi-quick ones...our one pup still has leg issue so we allow her to "pace"....

SABRINA it's hard for us to get bummed out on that scale #...the more we stay focused on what we are doing "RIGHT"...the more all those negative things disappear...like pounds and thoughts....and remember all that (leg) pain = gain!...and I don't mean weight

TIDIPRINCESS almost to 100...awesome!

That's so funny.. last night I walked downtown for a change of scenery and stuck nearby the park where they have their Friday night free Summer Concert series.. 3 good bands last night kept me walking for an hour.. got in a little over 3.5 miles while enjoying the live music.

Awesome work guys!!
We will be going to our Italian festival. We will be walking to it from the house. We will end up with a nice enjoyable 3.5mile walk! It won't be a quick one, but it'll be good and yummy food!!

Started my morning off yesterday with some laps around my complex before the kids woke up and I knew things would get busy. I ended up doing about 2 miles in 30 minutes. That's a great pace for me.

Awesome ladies. I will be gone most of the week but hope to at least get some miles out of town walking to dinner from our company apartment.

Nothing today as we had wanted to rest our one dog and keep an eye on her leg without the morning 3 miles.

Have a great week!
