Hello all you beautiful walkers! This is the thread for people who use Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds! Feel free to stop by and report your walks and progress toward your goals! Or if you just want to ask a question, we're here for you!

WALK, WALK, WALK!!!!!

Hi Ladies -- I'm hoping to get in some WATP with all of you during December, but I'm not setting any certain goal, because I still don't know what I can handle. I'm still just having a down time and the holidays are a very hard time right now. All of you are doing so good -- GREAT JOB!!!

Michelle, keep on trying. Never give up and remember the exercising does help with the moods. Also, you might want to try a light therapy during this time of the year since we're having gray, icky days. I'm sure that isn't helping with dealing with your loss. I have an Apollo Go-Lite and I swear by it during the dark months. Between it and exercising, I've totally gotten of all psychiatric drugs.

I did 1 mile walk, 2 miles jogging and the walk and kick before work. I'm going through a "I don't feel like it" period. I still push myself but I wish it would let up. It started at the beginning of the week and is still hard to get up. It might be a side effect of having a 5 day break over Thanksgiving and now I have to get up early again. Oh well, two more weeks and it's Christmas vacation. Then I get 2 weeks off. I am SO looking forward to that!!!!

Michele, for me to really find a town for shopping, I have to drive 77 miles (over a snowy mountain pass) so I do it about 2X during the season. Next Saturday is the 2nd trip. I'm mostly done but we changed what we're ging DH so my gift is going to be saved for his birthday or our anniversary (a new wedding band since he lost his about 21 years ago at the laundry mat). We're (myself, both DSs and DGS's mom) going to get him the expensive winch at Costco. But he will really like it. Yesterday DH and I bought a plow for our Durango because DH's heart problem has made snow shoveling too hard as he's gotten older. After Tuesday's shoveling of out hilly driveway, he said enough. It's being shipped on Monday. Eeks $1400 at Christmas time was a bit off the budget but well worth it if it keeps him healthy. Now he'll just have to shovel the front walk and it's short.

Okay, back to the exercise topic - I jogged 3 miles this morning with Leslie. This afternoon I will take Blizzie out for her walk. In 2.5 hours donkey dog (Kody) and I start school for teaching him how to walk on a leash. It's a doggie day.

Michele, wish your daughter happy birthday from us!!!

Morning chickie walkers. I rode the exercycle 6 miles this morning and will take the doggies walking for a couple miles later this afternoon. Kodiak did great at the private training yesterday. Afterwards we walked the 2 mile block and he didn't pull me at all. Just a couple corrections but that was it. It was SO nice. We're going to have another training on the 18th.

We're taking DGX to see Santa at the base (military) children's Christmas party. Unless of course DS and his GF don't get ready soon. For now I've been doing work from home and watching the Vikings and Packers get demolished by their oppenents.
