I just wanna say, I love my boyfriend. He's honestly the BIGGEST support I have in my life, to date. Last night at around 9pm I was on the phone with him and noticed that I'd only walked 1.63 miles. Oh no! I told him that and he says to me "Just keep going, babe! You gotta reach your goal, especially if you're not too tired." And kept encouraging me as I walked around the house to get my miles in. He distracted me so much that I did almost a full mile! I honestly don't know what I'd do without him.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday.

Michele: Glad to see you only went over your calories a little bit. That's great for such a special occasion as MD

I'm here. I had a nice peaceful day yesterday. We went for a walk and took my mother her card and present. I found a discounted Santa at the Hallmark store in town. She loves Santas and that's the only thing she'll put on her Christmas tree. SO when in doubt buy her Santas. I couldn't find anything with frogs. Oh she loves those too. I'll have to keep my eyes open for something with frogs for her birthday. I hope everyone had a great mother's day. I got a new cordless mouse. woo hoo. I love it. Nothing too flashy, but I was always complaining about the cord of the mouse getting in the way. Take care all.

Saturday my DH needed to do some pricing on doors for this house he is working on. So we walked all over Home Depot getting prices for the job and dreaming and window shopping for ourselves. We were in there for an hour and later that evening I sure did feel the strain in my butt and thighs after all the walking we did. It felt good though because I knew the strain meant that I worked those muscles and they sure do need it. Mother's Day was good. My two oldest boys took me to breakfast, didn't over do it on the food but treated myself.

Have a great Monday Everyone!

Annie, I’ll bet you are in Onederland already. And if not, you’ll know that too if you'd just get on the scale. (ok.. I’m curious for you!!)

Moo, that’s a lot of walking! Hope you are doing well with your other challenge too. Hugs.

Djstorey, I only count workout miles. I need to as it is my insurance! And looking at my personal challenge if I don't get more miles in I won't make it before June 1st.

Woo hoo, glad you all are doing so well! Lydia, how wonderful about your boyfriend... hang onto that guy!!

I'm rushing through this week... yikes getting ready for the cruise... but mine for today is:

Date: 5/15
Miles: 7.323

It was hard because it was sooooooooooooooooo hot for here (around 86) and I did NOT want to go walking but I did it anyway!!! for me.

Also since I started keeping track in Feb for the chick march I have gone 921,000 steps... toward my one million goal!!!

Our new total is: 1848.47

Still about 30 miles to go to reach Rapid City SD -- we will make it tomorrow or maybe even tonight as others post!!! Yippeeee! Then it is only about another 50 miles to Spearfish, which is just a few miles from the state line and we will cross over into Wyoming! We are really moving!!!

Jayde, I keep track of my aerobic steps in my Excel database... I love the Omron pedometer since it keeps track of both. I also keep track of how many steps per minute I average, etc. But for the challenge I count all of them. I know some people do it each way so I think everybody just does it whichever way they want and that is fine. As long as we're walking!!!

Of course. As long as we are moving. (And get to Seattle before winter) .

I think a pedomometer is a great thing. I'd been considering getting one so that I am sure to keep in plenty of daily movement over the summer when I am not working. Time flies when you are in the backyard reading a book. No exercise there.

I am also curious as to how many steps I take in a regular day at work.

Date: 5/14; 5/15
Miles: 1; 4
Total Miles for this Challenge: 86.5

Jayde, you will love the pedometer! I am so glad I finally ordered the Omron HJ-112 that everyone here was raving about! LOL I admit I am constantly trying to break my record for aerobic steps per minute!! And yah it is fun to see how many I walk in a work day.

For example, today I had 14,646 total steps; 7074 of those were aerobic. Usually my aerobic are a little higher but I didn't walk my first break but cleaned out my car instead LOL. Also it was not so went a bit slower than usual.

Sorry you got the bad news Michelle!

About the weather... LOL I am just the opposite... it has been HOT and sunny which I HATE and it makes it hard for me to get in my walking. Send the gray clouds and rain our way... I love it!!

Hi everyone. Looks like the miles are adding up quickly! I went ahead and wore my pedometer all day. It was easier for me to do that rather than just counting my exercise miles. I was scared I would forget to put it on otherwise!

5/15
Miles: 5.91

Misti - I understand about the weather! It has suddenly gotten hot here too so working out is a little miserable. I do love the sunshine, but wish it would stay in the 70's. We went straight from the 50's to the 80's here and I'm not used to it yet!

Michelle - hope you have a better day today!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Not much to report today. Just wanted to say hi

Thanks for the encouragement Jayde. I'll get on that scale soon. Maybe by the weekend. Nothing new to report here.

I don't like to exercise when it's hot out either. It's been pretty tolerable here with the exception of the rain. I'm not looking forward to summer and the 90+ weather well have.
