Walked for 40 minutes this morning. It's supposed to be a warm rainy day, but God held off the rain just so I could get my walk in. I think it may get up to 61 degrees today. Woohoo!

[Becca]

All this walking is starting to pay off for me! I'm down one jeans size and almost 14 pounds! WOOHOO!

I was really, really hoping to get outside today, but it's raining. Got in 3.1 miles on the treadmill though this morning!

[April Showers]

Way to go Becca! I don't think I'll be able to work in a walk today- since we leave in the morning and I haven't started packing yet. I'm going to put on my pedometer and see how much I can get in running errands today.

[regulargal]

That's great Becca! I'm getting back into the routine, did really well last week (but didn't post!). Hope to keep it up this week. Thanks for keeping this thread going.

[MariJ]

Wow -- congratulations! That's very impressive -- great work!

[Becca]

Hey April, have a fabulous trip!

[Smiles]

Congratulations, Becca! Every step is worth it!

[SarahBat]

That is wonderful news Becca. Congrats!

[Becca]

Thanks, everyone! I have a long way to go, but seeing my progress is a great motivator!

Sun's out this morning, and as soon as I shoo the kiddies on the bus, I'm getting out there for a walk! See you all later!

[Becca]

OK, I have determined that 27 degrees F is just WAY TOO COLD for me. Next time, I'm waiting till it at least hits 32, so I'm not dodging frozen mud puddles.
Got my two miles in, though! LOL!

[angleigh]

First I have a confession to make...since Friday I haven't done much of anything. Fri/Sat I did a mile each day..just to say I did something, then Sunday and Monday I did nothing. Things had gotten so crazy by the time I realized it the day got away from me. But today I was determined to get back there and start again. The first mile was hard, luckily I was able to get back outside. But then after that I got back in the groove and got 4.5 miles done and 30 min on the bowflex.

Did the official weigh in now that month 2 is over..and I hit my 25lb mark. It's been rough because this last week/week and a half I hadn't lost anything or would go up 1 down 1. But I know i'm going to have those times when I level off and the important thing is to keep going. Plus i've got to shop from the back of my closet. You know that part...where you put those clothes that no longer fit and you promise you'll be in one day. LOL I pulled out a wind breaker I hadn't been able to wear for several years, the boys asked me when I bought it. I had to explain to them about 8 years ago, and it's had been in "storage" for awhile. LOL

Keep up the good work everyone! And congrats on your lose Becca!!

[Becca]

Hey Angie, that's awesome! 25 pounds! Way to go! LOL on the "back of the closet". I definitely have that going on at my house, too. I've been scared to reach into it yet, though.

I walked this morning in the cold again. It's not so bad if I don't really attempt to run it like I did yesterday. So my two miles are done for today. I'm treating myself to a new pair of running shoes this weekend.

Anyone else giving yourself a little reward for keeping up with an exercise routine?

too cold to go outside today, got 2 miles on the treadmill in

[SarahBat]

You guys are doing great! I haven't done nearly as well. When I first started out I was busting out of my current size. Now they fit a little loose, but I haven't gone down a size yet, which is my first goal. I've lost more then an inch off my waist since January 15th. I am happy about that. But I am looking forward to reaching into the back of the closet.


1 mile done today. The kids came with me to the track. Markus GALLOPED the 4 laps around. Apparently he was on a horse and collecting crystals. My horse must have run away, because I walked.

LOL... don't you just wish you had half of that amount of energy?

[SarahBat]

30 minutes done.

[angleigh]

it was beautiful outside so I got 5 miles in today. suppose to be wet and rain tomorrow...so back to the old treadmill

[Becca]

I didn't get any walking in today. I met a friend for chai and indulged in a White Chocolate Raspberry scone while I was there. Guess that means I should walk an extra mile tomorrow, huh?

[April Showers]

Way to go ladies!
Congratulations on hitting the 25 pound mark Angie! Love shopping from my closet. The only things I saved were favorites, so it is fun to wear them again.
And thanks Becca, we're having a fabulous time.
I did a hike yesterday - about 3 miles and another today to a waterfall plus some shopping. My pedometer watch thingy tells me we went about 2 1/2 miles. I'll be walking to the beach a bit later this afternoon to watch the sunset and have a picnic dinner.

[Smiles]

Beach walking really does burn more calories, April - the softer the sand is, the more you burn.

Angie, congratulations! That is truly worth celebrating!

[angleigh]

got almot 4 out of the 5 miles in before the clouds started coming in and I felt a few raindrops

[SarahBat]

I got a mile and a half in today.

[SarahBat]

It feels like I should have walked my butt off today. ha ha. 55 minutes walking outside. I saw yellow crocus for the first time. I went a little farther then I usually go, walked past a gorgeous brick house and promptly fell head over heals in love with it. So now I have a new walking route. Yay!

[angleigh]

2.5 miles today

[Becca]

Forgot to check in last night, but I did get in a 2.1 mile walk. And did 2 miles on the treadmill this morning, as it was raining.

Looks like we have snow in the forecast for the next couple of days. More treadmill time ahead...

[angleigh]

did a mile today
