December Walkers -- Walking Away The Pounds!
 

Hello all! Where has the time gone? It's December 2nd and before we know it Christmas will be knocking at our door! :gift2:

Whether you are walking inside or outside, on the treadmill, sidewalk, or WATPs.. just whatever! Log it here and keep up with your awesome work:D!

12/03/05
gotta go find my ticker.
im in.
goal: 10k a day=5 miles x 30 days=150 miles-20 miles (4 sundays) =130 miles for the month of December. NOPE that's toooo much for me.

lets try this:
5k a day = 75 miles a month- 20 miles (4 sundays) = 55 miles for the month of December. that still sounds high but do-able.

okay-goal for me: 5k steps a day = 55 miles for the month.

oh yeah, im down two days already (10k) so new goal 45 miles/December.
let's see what happens.

Well I didn't meet last month's goal of 50 so this month I dropped it to 30 although I really want to do more than that. But I've already done 6.2 for the month so I think I'm doing well.

Is it okay if I jump in?

I'd like my goal to be 50 miles for December :)

I'm in!
 

My goal will be 50 miles for December.

I've got 6.5 so far. Let's do it ladies!

went 3 this morning, I'll add my miles up later :)

WTG everybody!! :carrot:

im still looking for my ticker.
it's still Sunday, so i have a matter of hours to go til i find it.

still looking.
Im good for the 50 though.
will tap tommorrow

I know how it goes for the heater! We didn't have a working one for two years (until last winter) and it was always soooo cold I don't know how I didn't freeze sometimes *shrugs*

I still have much Christmas shopping to do and I feel like I don't have enough time!

I haven't walked much this week but I am slowly losing by how I am eating better... ugh it's just too cold to walk outside and there is so much junk behind our treadmill that I can't move!

I beat my November goal by 10 miles, but I haven't even started on December. Haven't walked for a week due to obligations every night after work and then a weekend trip to a rainy place. But I'm setting my goal at 40.

Well I'm up to 9.2 already this month but I still have 2 more miles to complete in order to meet my daily goal so by the end of the day I'll be at 11.2.

12 miles for me so far. It's getting SO COLD outside!! I'm saving up for a gazelle so not sure how that equals out walking wise. Guess when it starts snowing it's back on the treadmill for me :(

Hi ladies. I walked 3 miles on Sunday, then 5.25 yesterday--that's 14.75 to date, 35.25 to go :carrot:

Welcome okie74 :wave: I gave my treadmill away this year :(, it was only being used to hang clothes on :o

I wish I could send you ladies some sunshine :sunny: It's still hitting the 80's and when it's humid, it's downright hot walking outside. Still, I'm not complaining... :)

I have a weigh-in at WW this morning. I hope all this walking will have paid off! Have a great day.

My goal for December is 85 miles.

I walk about 4 miles a day 4 x a week and 5 miles one day on the weekend, so that's 21 miles a week - so unless I miss a day I should be able to do that!

Okie - girl - I wouldn't be able to jog a block. I just walk - so don't feel bad about your three miles - that's awesome!!

:cool:

Hi everyone! :wave: I'm so glad someone started this thread. Cause I'm actually walking this month! haha I don't know how much I'll be able to do but I've got 2 miles in so far. good for me considering i only averaged about 2 miles a month the past 2 months. Gotta get over my laziness and lose weight. I only have 2-1/2 months to lose something before I see my doctor again. Sounds like you're all doing well. Keep it up. Can't believe Christmas will be here in 18 days! hehe :snow4:

I walked 2 1/2 miles with Leslie today. I'm up to 5.5 for the month.

I walked 2.25 miles in 40 minutes on the treadmill tonight. It's a good start for the month. I only did 7.55 in all of Nov!

Michele :wave:

1 measly mile on Tuesday, 3.5 this morning :dancer:

I'm up to 19.25 for the month... 30.75 to go!

hup-two-three-four---keep it up :drill:

I've started to slack off so I really need to pick up the pace again. So far 12.2 this month.

I am at 20 miles so far this month - 65 to go!! :dizzy:

I'm up to 10 miles of WATP for December. Thats in addition to going to curves 3 days a week!

Keep up the walking everyone! :)

Hey everyone, thought I'd join in though I already set my goal around the beginning of this month. Aimin for 30, as seen below I did not hit last months' goal so we'll see how this goes. Hopin to get some new WATP videos for XMas :) so maybe I will get in the last of my miles with some new videos. Hang in there ladies, you all are doing great!

:dancer: 3 miles this evening, 22.25 for the month....27.75 to go!

Good job everyone, we'll make it there yet.

I'm up to 14.2 miles, 700 crunches, and 215 minutes snow shoveling for the month (just for my own info). I haven't done any of it today so those numbers are going to go up later today.

My goal for today is 3 miles, 150 crunches, and to redo the driveway (about 30min).

3 mile power walk with Leslie today.

Hello ladies~

I'm back again! I was doing so well with my walking and then it got cold! Brrrrr.....now I am lucky to get a mile in. I need to get the motivation back so here I am, I have got to get back on track! It's just too darn cold out. But Monday morning I AM headed to the mall early. Not even going anywhere near there on the weekend-too many people Christmas shopping to walk. I do have a treadmill at home but it bores me to death and it is too easy to get off. But I DO plan on getting in 5 miles this weekend and will set a December goal for 45 starting today, Dec. 10th. Would rather go low than too high and then not make it.

Everyone is doing a great job with their walking, keep up the good work ladies!

A little over 3 miles on the bike trail today. I'm up to 11.25 for the month.

Whew! 3.5 miles this morning and 2.5 hours at the swap meet (but I won't count those)... my feet hurt! :lol:

25.75 for the month and 24.25 to go :dancer:

I did a 45 minute dvd with George Foreman...Walk and Box...I'm calling it 3 miles. So I'm at 14.75.

2 miles in the rain with a bum knee :( I need to find a Sports Medicine doc nearby...

27.75 for the month, 22.25 to go.

Go Dinah!

Keep it going ladies, we're almost at the halfway mark of the month. We can do this!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this group, but I did set a walking goal of 75 miles at the beginning of the month. So far, I'm at exactly 30 miles. Hopefully by the 15th I'll be halfway there! Mostly, I walk with Leslie, but it's been nice weather lately, so I've been walking a bit outsude as well. Yesterday I did a 4-mile walk with Leslie.

Best of luck to everyone on reaching their goals!

Hi,

Haven't been here in awhile. I am in the same boat as Cristi. I walked every day from April through the first half of November but now that it's cold out....I have tried the stepper but it is boring. I need motivation and/or a kick in the butt! How can I overcome my dislike of the cold?

Hi ladies, 3.25 miles for me this morning. 31 for the month, 19 more to go. Wow! I didn't know I would rack up the mileage so fast....methinks a higher goal is in order for next month :yes:

Cindy_Gail, I don't know about overcoming the dislike to cold but maybe if you're forced to use the stepper, maybe a new CD of music you like or watching your favorite TV show at the same time will make the time pass quicker? I know I used to get bored with my treadmill real fast if I didn't have some good, upbeat music to make me keep a fast pace. Luckily, I can walk outside for most of the year here. :sunny:

Michele, good job on your progress! :cp: Enjoy your snow day.

Welcome Christina :wave:

Keep going everyone :dancer:
