I would love to be a part of this, too. I love walking because it isn't strenuous and it's great exercise. My calves are so toned when I am keeping up with my walks. My goal for April will be 60 miles. I hate treadmills so I will be doing this on the track near my house. Good luck to all of you and thanks for the inspiration!

Walked 1 mile today-59 more to go. . .
Walked 1 mile again today-2 for April-I have a ways to go.
Walked 2 miles today-56 left. Need to get going!

I swear I walk way to much.. I didn't plan on walking at all today.. But I put my daughter's shoes on to go to the sitters and she had a fit.. She wanted to get in her stroller and go..
so 1 mile there.. then I went to work early and stopped at the park and walked 2 miles..
then I got asked to close..at work tonight which meant and hour lunch.. went back to the park and walked another 2 miles...
plus my 2- 15 minute breaks walking the perimeter of the store = 1mile..
so 6 miles.
then i took my pedometer off when I got home. OMG.. 12.49 miles.. I ran around the store so much tonight.. and I cleaned alot tonight.. :P
I just had way to much energy today/tonight

April miles... 9

Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone!!! I would love to join in...the weather is getting better and I love to walk, so my April goal is 30 miles.

Ashlie, that sounds like me with all the running around at work. I run around alot at work too and I average 10 to 11 miles on my shift. Crazy how much walking a person can do at work!

Got up early today and did the 3 mile WATP with weights. April miles: 8

Dang posted last night to the other thread.. hmm.. i'll copy to this one in a sec. Glad to see everyone here and the newbies too!! Hi!

I'm also going to start posting steps for the day. 1 miles equals roughly 2100 steps for me.
Last two days I have hit my goal.. 10001 on apr 1 and 10657 april 2. Yay!! Doing better on my cals.. still not good enough on my water.. which is weird bc I do love it.

Thanks, Cathy. I am moving on and focusing on making a fitter, healthier me this year. So I need all the support I can get!!

And thanks everyone here!! I appreciate the great support you all give me.

I am zoning in on my next goal.. Onederland. 9lbs. to go! Today (Sunday) is DHs bday. We are going to Corpus Christie on the weekend of the 15th to celebrate. We love it there.

Ok, bigggggg announcement!!

I ORDERED A SCALE! YEP, A SCALE.
It's a regular Weight Watchers digital scale. Should be fine til I join the Y or whatever.
Can you believe it?? Well, I hadda get one bc I hate having to wait to weigh. I loved not having one here tho. I'm worried I'll be tempted to get on it too often then I'll be miserable from all the fluctuations. I am vowing to weigh Monday Mornings!! And then posting to help me keep on track. Anyone else in for that? Or are you all already doing this??

Oh and only two actual days in March did I not hit at least 10,000 steps. Yay! I actually went walking while I was out of town, up and down my Grandpa's farm road. It was great.. blackberry blossoms everywhere.. can't wait til the berries are ready.

I have gotten my 10k steps a day on Apr 1 and 2. Trying for 10,000 a day from now on. When I go way over, ok.. good. But at least 10k a day. Have a great weekend. Hugs to you all!!! Bye!

Sherri and Ashlie, dang! Lotsa walking! I think I'll start adding in my 'measured walks'.. like you all are doing. Today I'm going walking in my neighborhood. I'll post any measured walks from now on. Might help me get more in. Usually since I watch all the babies, I have to walk in place while watching them or walk around my living room in a big circle, which is ok until they all want to climb on me! LOL. I'm often restricted bc I am here with so many kids, it's not possible to go out walking in the neighborhood and my DH is only here 2 or 3 days a week so I can go. (Oh but watch out when I get my Y membership.. hee hee. Imma use the treadmills and stairmasters several times a week, among other things.) My miles without interruption won't be much now, (the Y will watch the kids so I can work out there tho!) but I'll keep track. My daily average of total walking is usually right around 5 miles. Not too bad. Some of you girls put me to shame tho! LOL.

Good job! It keeps me reminded I can always do morrrrrre!!

I reeeeeeeeeeally wanna hit my goal, or surpass it this month. I'm giving myself 2 days out of 30 where I am allowed to go under 10,000 steps (in the car driving all day long with kids, etc.). I will try to not use them. Also, I am setting a goal of 25 miles (measured walks) for the month.. I don't have any idea how many I can get in. I suppose walking in place at night watching TV after the kids are asleep will count for them too...

Wish me Good Determination! I'm wishing it for you all too!! Hugs!!

Good afternoon everyone. I decided that April was going to be the month that I start taking care of myself so I started walking again. To keep myself going I thought I'd post a goal of 30 miles this month.

I walked 2 mi. yesterday and another 3 today --- 5mi. for the month so far.

Hope you all enjoy the day!

Welcome Mrs. Beasley!! Glad to have you aboard!
Hope everyone is doing well here!! I walked 4 miles today. Might get some more in tonight.
Hugs!!

So, April miles so far.. 8.

Good morning! I didn't get any walks in over the weekend, but I plan to get a nice one in tomorrow. Keep up the good work, everyone!

Hi SunnyD! Wow, beautiful pics of the snow, but I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough time with it. I'm so ready from spring, and I'm sure you are. Hope that foot heals quickly! I think shoveling snow counts for sure

Sry to hear Sunny, but we get NO snow.. we got a few flurries that didn't stick much on Christmas Eve, first time ever for me. Nice to see you are here too!

8 miles walked in April so far.. can't weigh til I get my scale in.. will then. did 18,910 steps yesterday, 9.5 miles the whole day.. uggh. tired! LOL. Walked four.. the rest was all day.. Hugs! Keep it up, girls! It's TTOM too..uggh. Can't wait til next week! I won't be bloated!

How is everyone doing? Bye for now!

I've got some catching up to do!

SUNNY!!!!! I'm soooo glad to see you again! Glad that you're feeling better. Sorry about the ankle! At least its only for 10 days. You'll be back up before you know it!

Soon2Be - Sounds like you've really got a positive attitude about things. You're doing so good! I'm proud of you! I'm glad you told your sister off. You know, you expect friends to be jealous and treat you that way. But family is supposed to be happy for you no matter what. And why, why, why is it that size 8s think they can cry to us? Like we'll say "Oh poor baby. That must be awful for you!". haha You have done so well. Keep it up and be proud of what you've accomplished.

I had an awesome weekend! Saturday my BF and I went to Granbury and then Glen Rose to see the dinosaur tracks. Then Sunday we went to Mineral Wells to hike. I got a pedometer and I hope its right. It said I did 15,000 steps, 4.87 miles, 2 hours and burned 800 calories! I'm proud! We're going to try to do the night hike there this weekend. Should be fun. I'm so glad we found an activity that we like to do together. We bought a year pass so we can go to any Texas State Park we want to. I don't know if anyone cares but here is the link for the Texas State Parks: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/parkguide/
Lets see. I ended up with 22 miles in March. And I'm full swing for April so I'm going to say my April goal is 30 miles. Talk to you all soon! Later - Amy
