My walking is going great, but my food intake has been HORRIBLE this week! I gained 2 pounds according to my Tuesday weigh-in . I am SOOO angry with myself! I'll never see a 10 pound loss (Let alone MORE), if I don't get my willpower on the same page as my exercising ego!
Anyway....it feels like it should be Friday, which would be great, since there's no school. It's already been a LONG week for only 2 days!
Hope everyone has a nice day--I'll check back in later!
Hang in there, Michele! We all have our weak moments but you are doing great and you will beat off those two pounds again soon along with more of the silly things!!

Slow day yesterday. Mostly just did housework and yardwork. A friend of the family flew in last night, so I have a feeling that the next two weeks that he's here I won't be getting as many miles in (unless, of course, we go to Sea World next week!)
Well, I never got a walk in yesterday. And today its pouring down rain again....
Wauseon and Montpelier are both really small towns. Wauseon has a pop of about 7,000 and is the home of Barney Oldfield, a turn-of-the-century auto racer. (personally, I've never heard of him....)
Montpelier is even smaller at about 4,500...home of Dr. Paul Siple, developer of the wind chill factor. And yes, it is named after Montpelier, Vermont. One of the city founders hailed from there....
Thanks for the info Apple Blossom. I was just going to say that when I heard Montpelier, I was thinking Vermont. Seems like we would be going backwards then. I lived just a few miles away from there in a town called Barre (pronounced just like berry). Did you know that Montpelier, Vt is the only state capital not to have a McDonalds. Strange, but true.
Hey ladies, I'm new here so I just wanted to say hello. As you have guessed by my name I am trying to get in shape for my upcoming wedding. However, it is quite a ways off and I really want to change my lifestyle. My fiance is in great shape and enjoys hiking and backpacking. I want to be able to enjoy the things he enjoys without worrying if I'll be able to walk the next day. We both want to start our lives together as healthy as possible. I chose my avatar because I'm getting ready to graduate college and my schoolwork has always been my excuse for not working out. Well, the school got a new recreation building and the exercise equipment has book holders so now I have NO excuse! Bookworms need exercise too! Sorry for the long-winded introduction but I just wanted to say hello...
Keep on truckin' ladies!!
Hi everybody... and welcome Gettingready!!! Glad to have your little feet walking along with us!
LOL I didn't realize I was giving such small towns in our location... guess my map searching could use some help LOL. I just can't find any map sites that give you the names of cities in between or exactly where I90 is!! They are frustrating!
Mine for today is:
Date: 4/12
Miles: 9
Total so far: 99
Grand total for us = 760.14
We have about 45 miles before we hit Angola IN... yippee not sure where the state line is but we have probably crossed it by now!
I've done at least 2 fitness miles everyday since Saturday! It feels good to get into a routine. Now, if I could only make that routine include losing weight--lol. Today is my last day at work this week--YAY! It has been a LOOOOONG week for only 3 days complete! Poor hubby has to work tomorrow--the price of owning the company! I'm looking forward to hitting 200 miles this year either tonight or tomorrow for sure. It's great having so many little goals--then I'm always heading for one!
You guys are doing great! Sorry I've been MIA, we are just about ready to open the store where I work back up, and have been working as many hours as we can. We actually ended up pushing the opening to Sat instead of Fri, but I will be back on with the website later. Also, no walking... I've been a bad girl, but will be back on track tomorrow.
Days that the steps or miles were logged: 4/12
Steps/miles for that time: 1.00 mile
Total number of steps/miles, to date in the challenge: 36.07 miles
I was ill all day yesterday, spent several hours in bed and the rest of the day relaxing. I felt better at around 10pm, so I took a short walk to get at least that mile in. Funnily enough, I've already done almost a mile this morning!
