I'm new here but I would like to join in on the exercise posts. I have been "lurking" around this board for a little while...trying to gather the courage to commit to an exercise goal (yet again). I do have the Walk Away the Pounds videos...and a gym membership...not to mention the sidewalk is free...so I really have no excuse. It is late in December so I will set my goal at 10 miles. I am also not in very good shape...so I don't want to try to do too much and be disappointed. Well tomorrow is Saturday, a great day to start...so wish me luck!
I did three more miles just now, in an hour. Burned 401 calories and 130(?) fat. I am proud. I have to take a shower after my mom gives my brother (whose birthday is today, sixth) one. Then I have to do my hair and go to the hotel two hours away for my cousin's wedding! Wooh, busy day.
Sparkle, and best of luck to you! This is a wonderful supportive group of people!
So I added a whopping 4 miles to my monthly total today. I was visiting my parents, and my mother and I got the bright idea to take her dogs out (in the drizzly rain) for a long walk in the park. It was actually quite pleasant, not scorching heat like we usually have here, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment!
I had a big walking day yesterday. I started with a 4-mile WATP, then my mother invited me to come with her to walk the dogs, so that was 2.5 more miles. Then I got a crazy burst of energy in the evening and did a 1-mile WATP. Add one more mile this morning and I have 54.5 of my 75 mile goal done.
