(Introducing) Walk This Way.....for all the walkers. - Page 2

Alex how nice it must be to be able to hike at lunch time in Colorado. Lucky man! I work in the inner city and it is crowded during lunch but still nice to get out and about instead of sitting at desk all day.

Shimmer · 09-21-2007, 03:01 PM

11,000 so far today. Tomorrow we're going to Jamesport MO for the weekend--will be walking all over the town so should get some big steps in.

Beautiful scenery! Congrats on your accomplishment!!!

Hello everyone, I want to join you walkers. I try to walk at night after I put my granddaughter to bed at 8:30. I walk 4 miles, I go around a school and a few blocks close to my house. I use to run until I fell and broke my wrist and ankle. Now I just walk. I have also fallen and broken my arms while walking and roller skating. And once broke an arm falling down my steps. So my family thinks I am crazy for going out at night by myself. But I love the time to myself which I do not get very often. My son and his 5 year old daughter live with me and she takes up most of my time. Which I would not trade anything in the world for.

jezzie · 09-22-2007, 08:06 AM

09/22 ---> 2 miles (forty minutes)

Aceber.

Colo Alex · 09-22-2007, 08:15 AM

Hey walkers!

Hiked yesterday at lunch 4.6 miles. Felt good to get back on the trail. None today, taking DD out of town for Soccer.

Keep up the great work everyone!

tiggerr · 09-22-2007, 11:20 AM

The intent was to do 10 miles today.
We had our first rain storm overnight.

I started walking to the meeting point (1.2 miles) and it was easy as ever!
I met up with my 2 friends and we walked another 4.5 miles together.
And then the skies opened, big time.
It didn't rain, it poured.

So I hitched a ride back home.
Today was 5.7 miles, I could have done the 10. No doubt there.

According to the 'ticker' I have, Rock and Roll San Jose is in 22 days!

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum but not new to low carb. I've been doing it for about three years and have lost 45 lbs. I started at 170 wearing size 16 pants and now I am 125 and wearing size 6. I've been stuck at 125 for a long time now and have decided to start a walking program.
The main reason I have stalled is because I haven't been as strict as I was in the beginning. At first I would only eat the low carb meals that I prepared. These last couple of months I've been spending too much time eating fast food and pizza. I usually do this three times a week, and I don't drink as much water as I used to. I haven't gained but I haven't lost either.
Starting on Monday I'm going to re-induct and be as strict as I was in the beginning. When I first got down to 125 I was happy to be in a size 6 and everyone really threw a lot of compliments my way. Losing 45 lbs really makes a difference in your appearance, but lately I've noticed (standing in front of the mirror) that I have a lot more to lose I'm only 4'10".Losing that much weight with diet only leaves you a little flabby and I really want to tone my body.
I'm going to re-induct for two weeks before I start walking to give my body time to adjust to ketosis and the lethargy that you get the first few days of induction. I got some comfortable shoes and I've ordered a pedometer that has a radio built into it so that I can track my progress and listen to music while I walk.
Wish me luck

jezzie · 09-23-2007, 05:49 AM

Good Luck YadaYada ... you can do this.

I walked for an hour this morning. Planning on another half hour this afternoon.

luvslipstick · 09-23-2007, 07:32 AM

Good morning,I'm a big walker,can I join you,I walk everyday 1 - 4 miles.If it's raining,which happens alot,live in Pacific northwest(washington) on the coast,I do walk away the pds,which is what got me walking again after I broke my foot 3 yrs ago,that was hard cause I've always been very active .Some days I walk the track at the school or walk the trail or walk to town,usually I walk in the morning and afternoon.Depends on how busy I've been.Anyway's getting ready for my walk right now.......

nice to meet you all.

tiggerr · 09-23-2007, 11:11 PM

jezzie · 09-24-2007, 06:35 AM

Walked two miles this morning. Did do one extra yesterday.
I've already surpassed my goal for September (50 miles).

Colo Alex · 09-24-2007, 06:49 AM

Good Morning!

Kind of a slow weekend and I’m heading out of town for the week tomorrow for business. I’ll find some time to at least walk. I’ll miss my hikes but I WILL walk.

Hope you all have a great day.

luvslipstick · 09-24-2007, 07:35 AM

Good morning all...3 1/2 miles yesterday,it was a great day.Getting ready for my walk.
Hope you all have a great day

tiggerr · 09-24-2007, 08:01 AM

*channeling Dori*

Keep walking, keep walking!

Hope you all have a great day, I'm taking if off and will be back at the track tomorrow!

Aceber · 09-24-2007, 06:24 PM

Hello everyone, Could only get 3 miles in tonight. The city was out fogging our area. I live real close to a school and football field and that is where I walk at night because it has a lot of lights in that area. So of course that is where they were really fogging. So I went down some alley but could smell the spray. It made my eyes water. So I am going to exercise to a video now. Have a good evening. Go Indians!!!!!

luvslipstick · 09-24-2007, 06:46 PM

Evening all,only got 2 miles today,have a good night.

tiggerr · 09-24-2007, 07:44 PM

There is no 'only'. Any mile walked counts!

jezzie · 09-25-2007, 09:54 AM

And 2 more miles for me today.

3 miles yesterday and 3 miles today. My 10 year old daughter went both days too!

Aceber · 09-25-2007, 06:54 PM

Walked 4 miles tonight. Was really nice out tonight. I think it was a full moon.

tiggerr · 09-25-2007, 10:24 PM

Aceber, it is a full moon.

Lake Girl, I take my 9 year old son (almost 10) sometimes but he gets tired at some point.
I do see him being my marathon buddy in the near future.

Well night peeps, see you tomorrow.

jezzie · 09-26-2007, 06:54 AM

Another two mile basement walk ... back and forth, back and forth.
