Hi everyone!

I did a 2mi. watp tape today. July miles = 24.

Guess I won't make my goal this month but I'll try again next time. I haven't walked for almost 3 weeks because I was having lower back problems. I decided to let myself rest and then I went to the dr. who checked me out and said that something in the lower back/hip area was out of whack. He referred me to one of his partners who has a background in osteopathic medicine. She did some manipulating of the muscles back there and showed me a couple of exercises to do. She also told me to wait a couple of days to exercise. I have been feeling great -- no more back pain. YIPEE!!!

I hope you all are doing fine. Welcome to all the new walkers that have joined us this month.

Have a great night all!!! :D

Morning,

I have waked 29.5 miles in July not counting today. My goal is 32 miles. I did swim twice for 45 minutes each time on top of walking and I have started some weight lifting too!

Macdeez,

Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate it. No, I haven't taken my measurements but I will because I have noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit. I have gone down a pant size and I'm thrilled about that! I will keep better track of what I am taking in also because I know I need to be eating fewer calories.

It sounds like everyone is doing great. Welcome all you newbies. This is a great place, you're going to like it here.
