For those who like to log their walking on here and make goals sooner rather than later (like myself) I went ahead and started this thread.

I walked 2 miles because I had other things to do today, I couldn't do more. How about you guys?

I'm joining in on this! I've just recently started doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds, so I'm ready to set a walking goal. My goal for this month is to walk 40 miles.
Wish me luck on reaching my goal!

November Miles : 23 (as of 11/21)

[pixiefalls]

Awesome and good luck! My goal is also 40 miles

[ambabs]

I'll jump in with you. I'm gonna set my goal at 50 miles. Right now I'm doing a mile a day with an occasional extra mile thrown in but I really want to work up to doing 2 miles at least every other day.

Boo! I'm here! LOL

My walking (and my life) has been totally messed up due to Hurricane Rita blowing thru down here in Louisiana. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off but as we all know, that usually doesn't count as much exercise.

I had made up my mind that with the time change I would take advantage of that extra hour in the mornings (since I'm use to waking up at the same old time) and it has taken me a few days, but finally this morning I got up at 5 am and did 2 power miles with Leslie

November Miles = 2

I hope everybody is doing good and that we all have a great "on track" month.

hugs & blessings,
Cathy

I bet it's been a tough experience for you, Cathy. Hopefully things are getting better.

I walked 3 miles today (my pedometer said 5 but I do believe it was off by a lot).

Welcome everyone, let's keep up the good work!

[ambabs]

Cathy I'm so sorry you have had to live through that mess but at least your ok.

I managed 2 more miles today putting me at 4 out of 50!

[Dinahgirl]

I'm so glad you started up the November thread!

I haven't been able to exercise for several weeks due to a problem in my foot. Saw the podiatrist last night. He gave me a cortisone shot, said to rest it and ice it for a couple of days, and try walking again on the weekend. He called it "anterior tibia tendonitis."

I'm going to set the goal for 35 and hope I go higher.

[Dinahgirl]

Okay, the weather is beautiful...where are all our walkers?

I did my first walk in 3 weeks today - 1.5 miles, no pain!

[ambabs]

I'm here! I'm up to 8 miles already for November! Took a break today but I may still end up doing a mile I'm kind of undecided.

Which WATP DVD does everyone do. I looked today at borders but the one with 1, 2 & 3 miles was together for $50. Then they only had the 15 minute which seemed too short and the 4 miles which seemed too hard.

Hello everyone! I have been kinda M.I.A the past 2 months but Im back. Im now living with my bf and his parents...still adjusting to that, it is good we didnt move out on our own b/c my bf got laid off about a month ago, he has a new job now.

Anyway Im babysitting right now as a job, so I've been getting in some walking, my eating habits still need to improve more, but Im working on it...AGAIN lol I just hope this time I can stick to it.

Anyway since November 1st here is walking I've done:
1st - 15 minutes
2nd - 20 minutes
3rd - 1 hour
4th - 45 minutes
5th - 20 - 30 minutes (walking around the mall doing some shopping)

Roughly 8.5 miles at 3mph pace...

Next week I hope to walk at least 15 minutes (MINIMUM) for 5 days. 30 minutes would be more ideal however but Im going to start off slow and get back into it! Or about 4miles a week, so my goal for the month is I'll say 25 miles.

Eventually I want to add in some strength exercises, Im going to start slow with them too...maybe just some crunches and some basic arm and leg exercises 3 times a week to start.

Eating needs to improve, Im good during breakfast and lunch...then around 4pm when I get home Im starving and then the rest of my day is just BLAH lol I need to CONTROL myself and learn to grab an apple and not some cookies. Baby steps.

Anyway I hope to keep walking this time, Im glad to be back here, everyone else seems to be doing great!

Oh Ive also changed my goal, Ive gained some weight the past couple months Im now up to around 220, so I'd like to be 150 by next November 1st, which shouldnt be toooo hard that is only 5-6lbs/mth!! *fingers crossed*

[pixiefalls]

Dinahgirl -- Thanks. I hope your foot starts getting even better quick! Congrats on being able to walk that much!

I hope everyone keeps up the walking and it's good to see new ones. I think I may have overworked myself and I slacked off these last past three days , but I'm not letting that discourage me.

Valorie Joy - I usually just walk outside but when I do use WATP I use the express one mile brisk walk.. it's the only one I could find but I plan on ordering more.. sorry I couldn't be of much help! Try looking under the "Fitness Video" to see some of the more popular ones. Oh, and also.. if you have no problem with ordering off the net.. then try overstock.com! They have good prices and good shipping rates. (My sister adores that site.. haha)

Now I really must get to bed.

[Valerie Joy]

I found the WATP videos at Target. I got 1,2 and 3 mile for only $20 there!

I did the one mile yesterday and I'm going to try the 2 mile today!

[pixiefalls]

Whoa, that's a good price! I wish we had a Target here instead of having to go an hour away. Anyways, I hope to walk today, but it's getting late and in an hour it will be dark and I won't be back home until about 3 hours so I'm going to try to do what I can while I am out..

let's make this thread a busy one!
