hey there chickies!!!! Just got done walking almost 4 miles!!! I am so happy about this even though it was dark for the last half, and we met a guy jogging with his dog, TWICE!! I have 2 dogs that walk with me and of course, my little one thinks she is as big as a house!! Has to guard her territory...Anyway, I somehow managed to gain a lb this day... started off at 251 and ended up at 252...how does this manage to happen? I have no idea, but, I DONT like it!!! Back to the old hard slog, working in the mines of surgery tomorrow... Might have to be on call so I will walk indoors tomorrow. Keep on truckin!!!!!:):):)

Good morning. Did my laps!! I managed to get 2 extra laps in today. Did get a compliment though. Neighbor said i was looking smaller and smaller every time she sees me. Hehe good motivation. Seems like whenever i get down a bit on this some one says something to bring me back up. I'm grateful for it. Still lagging on fit day. Ok one little elephant bite at a time (like my old fiddle instructor would say).
See you tomorrow!!!

yep Catrina, baby steps, taking one day at a time and all that jazz. I am going to get my walk in earlier tonight, so i don't have to be out walking in the dark.will post when I gets done walkin!!!!

Yahoooo weee!!!!!! Got my 3 plus miles in and it was less than 50 minutes!!! This is a new record for me!!! I am feelin gooooood!!!!! I am finally back on track!!! Now, to stay here!! On track I mean... I feel much slimmer walking,so I KNOW it must be doing something!!!! Yesterday, at work 2 ladies I work with mentioned how much better I look!!! Yay!!! I am so proud of myself!! I hope you are too Catrina!!!! All the rest of you ladies perhaps reading this, feel free to join us!!! It is only as hard as getting up and doing something!!! Doesn't have to be 3 miles even!!!

okie dokie, just got done with my 3 miles, get this, I was attacked by a RABBIT!!!!!! Seriously, this rabit was flopping accross the trail, and my son saw it, I thought he had run over it with his bike and went to investigate, and the rabbit flew up and kicked me with his hind feet then flopped into the long grass, strangest thing i ever saw.... Happy to be here though, I am so glad to be out walking when the weather is so beautiful!!!! Keep on truckin!!!!:):):)

Beautiful day again today, gonna get my walk in early, this way it won't be dark by the time I am done!! Ok ladies, time to get up and get moving!!! Nothing special, just do something!!!! It can be as little as marching in place during commercials!! Every thing helps!!! I am moving AND losing!!! It feels so darn good!!!! I KNOW you can do it too!! If you are reading this thread, please try it!!! I know how hard it is to start... but, by starting, you are making that leap, making yourself more healthy with each and every step!! I will post later this evening. Keep on truckin!!!! :):):)

I hope someone is reading and doing and feeling the same as I am, it is ALL good!!!!! Happy to be here posting and feeling good about myself!!! Keep on truckin!!!!:):):)

Hi luckyducky,
Congratulations on the walking and feeling good! I've just recommitted to regular exercise this past week. I've worked out everyday since Saturday. Went hiking Saturday and Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and today where Walk/Jog days at the gym. Tuesday and Thursday where push workouts. I'm feeling good as well. I am having to push myself to wake up early and get my workouts in before work but I feel so good once I get them done. I have a pretty active job... walking and lifting all day.... so once I get home from work there is no chance of me having the energy to get a workout in.
Well enough rambling... just wanted to let you know someone was reading and feeling the same as you. :)
Keep on walking!

Thanks Liz for chiming in!!! Glad to see you recommitting to your exersize program!!!! Nothing like feeling empowered after you get done exersizing is there!! Hope to hear more from you!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!! I got up and walked this morning first thing, wish i could do that every day, only thing is... I was more tired this morning walking than any time I walk at night. I wonder why that is? With the days getting shorter, it is more difficult to walk before dark, have to keep starting out earlier and earlier! It is dark when I get up in the morning and take care of my horses, so I don't want to be out walking the trail @ 500 am, too many creatures out there, ya know , like snakes and muskrats and even coyotes, now, I know these things are more scared of me than I am of them ( except the snakes... I am definitely more scared of them!!!!), but, the idea of sharing the trail with one of them doesn't appeal to me... Anyway, sure am feeling good about being motivated and committed!!!! Yay!!!!! Might even feel like walking again tonight, we'll see.... Keep on truckin all!!!!!:):):)

Well, today, it was raining most of the day, so i definitely didn't feel like walking... but, after doing chores out in the rain, I realized I REALLY didn't feel up to walking, but, knew after laying around all stinkin day, I HAD to do somehting! So, I popped in WATP 3 mile express, and MAN did I get a workout!!! Thank heavens in am used to walking 3 miles every day!! That workout would have really been beyond my stamina otherwise! I know am going to be feeling new muscles hurting tommorrow!!! But, Man, hurts SO GOOD!!!! I am happy to be motivated for myself and feeling better and lighter and more healthy all the time!!!Thank GOD!!!!!!! Literally, My prayers are in total gratitude for Him giving me the health and ability to let this temple of His get back into shape!! Hope you all are feeling some kind of motivation also!!!! keep on truckin!!!!!!:):):)

Well, today, only got 2 miles in... had a sick mare, so I thought I would take her for a walk, turns out, she must not have been that sick since, I had to practically drag her on the walk away from the farm, but, on the way back she was not only able to keep up with me, but, she was almost dragging me! That just goes to show, I worry more about the horses than I need to!I was feeling my workout from yesterday though, man, does that Leslie Sansone know how to work the body!! Just by walking in place!! Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventure!!! Keep on truckin!!!:):):)

Sadly, I am not going to walk this evening, I am sick, sick sick!!! Bad cold!! Please, someone help me get back on track tomorrow though!! I could use some motivation and accountability!! Should I just quit this thread and join a more lively one? Some input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks folks who are reading this!

I walked my 3-mile route again today - finally nice enough out to walk - and I thought of this thread! Anybody willing to resurrect?
