We have another newbie coming, yay! A huge to Kristine! So glad you are joining us!
Lydia, I have had some leg pain also -- I agree with the suggestion to prop them up on the wall. Also at night it helps to prop them up on pillows. But yes, be careful not to overdo.
[QUOTE Blyn, someone said it earlier.. but I am going to repeat it.. you are the only one I've heard of that goes on vacation and comes back weighing less. [/QUOTE]
Well I am sure hoping to give you a second opportunity next month when I go on my cruise! I am determined that I will NOT blow it and will come back a pound or two thinner! LOL

I'm holding you to it, Misti!
I went to bed feeling a little blue last night. My husband asked what was up and I told him that I hadn't exercised in 2 days. He laughed and reminded me that I had exercised Sunday. It was Saturday I was "off" yet still did quite a lot of moving. Needless to say, I cheered up quickly and slept well.
For as busy as I was, I sure didn't get many steps! I didn't even break 10000! I only had time for 20 minutes on the treadmill today. I was bogged down with multiple phone calls and a meeting last night from 6:30-8:30. Needless to say, I need to do some serious walking today to make up for it. I just don't like it when I don't get to 10000 steps! Did I say that?!?! WOW! What a nice change in mindset!
Hope everyone is having a great week! Tomorrow is going to be a bugger! It's parent/teacher conference night, which means a 12 hour day. And very few parents seem to care enough to come to conferences these days, so it's a BORING time most of the time. I'll be lucky if I talk with 10 parents and I have 45 students!

It felt great to walk last night! My husband walked with me and we talked and walked together and didn't have any interruptions like the tv or the kids.
We did have a tag a long, my kitty Annie. She runs like a rabbit and she got tired following us so I had to pick her up and carry her most of the walk so she would get lost. Does that count as weigh training while walking?(she weighs about 8lbs)
I'm looking forward to walking tonight, it may not be that much right now, but I know I'll get more distance as I continue.
Well girls ...I was in Vegas for a car show and my hubby and our friends only let me eat about once a day ..and maybe margaritas don't count in Vegas...you know what they say..I was happy to leave a few pounds (not money there)
Misti: You can do it! Just use that ship to walk your buns off! Actually the buffets in Vegas were pretty good for me. I made a promise to myself to eat a nice salad and veggies before anything else and I pretty much stayed away from the desserts..just because I was full!...and remember the first bite is the best bite!
Kristine: that sounds so nice walking with the hubby...mine doesn't walk unless its a car show...
Michele: That is really very sad that so few parents turn up. I live in a small town and conference night was pretty much a get together ...that was a few years ago though...My son graduated in '03
Jayde: Jumping with kids counts as exersize ...right?
Days that the steps or miles were logged: 4/24

Haven't seen Chris here lately... so not sure where we are. My "unofficial" total for all of us is 1196 miles. Yay! Best I can tell we have about another 100 miles to make it to Austin MN.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the challenge - just stumbled across it recently and thought I'd join you all. I'm looking for a bit more exercise accountability. A bit about me...I'm 27 years old and I live in FL. I'm a newlywed and a chemistry grad student (finishing this summer...hooray!) I'm happy to meet you all!
My first stats (from yesterday and today):
Date: 4/24
Miles: 2

Miles: 3.5
Miles to date this challenge: 5.5
I was bad today. I didn't get much walking in. I can't believe the change in the weather. It wasn't the warmest out, but did manage to get in a mile. We had to check out the optometrist to see what it would cost for the DH to get some contacts. He hasn't had them in about 2 years. He's wearing some really old glasses. Then we are going to concentrate on getting me some new glasses. But first he needs it more than me. His prescription is like 13 years old vs mine only being about 7. Anyways, hopefully will get a bit more walking in tomorrow.

Hi Christina... so glad you found us! Welcome! I've met you around in other threads but glad you joined up with us here... LOL we need all the feet walking we can get for sure!

YOU are hilarious!
I finally did it! A morning workout on the mill. Not a full hour on even half an hour but 20 min of good solid jogging. I plan to make this more and more of a habit.
I'll post my miles tonight. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa for me.
to Kristine! So glad you are joining us!
I am determined that I will NOT blow it and will come back a pound or two thinner! LOL
