I remember seeing myself reflected in a window, when I was at my heaviest, and thinking my reflection must have been distorted...it was by my overeating and lack of motivation to workout.  Which Leslie DVD do you have?

You CAN do it! Good for you for getting back to it - not just for the trip either - for your great health. Walk on :)

Cold rain outside and a brisk wind at 39 degrees...definitely not a day for an outdoor walk.

Well this weather sucks. Might end up having a few more days off this week.There's another storm coming our way. Plus record low tempts are making the roads a solid sheet of ice. My son had to go off the road to avoid a women who was spinning out in front of him. Even my hubbie said he had a few close calls, and he is a good snow driver.
Going to get my power walking in today. Hopefully won't overeat because I'm cold and bored today. Going to have to clean something. Have a great day.

by cleardc on February 8th 2010 at 4:19 pm

Got in some intentional walking today - feels so good to move this body.
Will make time tomorrow for a 2mile minimum walk. Hold me to it people :)

Just keeping your core muscles pulled back during the entire workout will really help with core strength.  As you get stronger you will find yourself doing normal activities while pulling in your core...washing dishes, laundry, walking, etc.  My mom used to always tell me to pull in my stomach as I walked and did my daily activities to make those muscles stronger.  She said it was what her mother told her to do.  I guess it is not anything too new considering her mother was born in 1909.  Good luck!  Keep posting.  We love hearing about your successes and will cheer you on!

Stay safe and warm, Sue.  I was thinking about you yesterday, but too exhausted to post more than just absolute minimum.

A pool and a sauna...I am so jealous!  Enjoy it!  Great workout by the way.

by SueB on February 5th 2010 at 3:28 am

I love your words of wisdom everyday. It always makes me stop and think.
Steps yesterday 10,398. Again no exercise but did enough running again to get my steps.
Have a great day and if you are in the path of this snow storm, BE SAFE.

2 miles fat burning-Leslie video

by TracyDK on February 4th 2010 at 5:04 pm

Just got back from my friend's house. We just did the 2 mile walk with Leslie. Much harder to do when you try (this is the key word here) TRY to do her "you can do pilates" dvd. We did that too for about 30 minutes before we about died. So far, I'd call this a successful day! :D

Really needed that walk as I was feeling a bit out of sorts and felt much better after taking the walk.

by pszebras on February 4th 2010 at 6:03 am

I am shocked!  Why in the world would someone be crazy enough to ruin their health--for someone else's enjoyment!!  Some people are nuts.
 
We are in the path of some more snow on Sunday into Monday.  We don't usually get this much in Oklahoma, but someone said the Farmer's Almanac predicted 22 inches for just the month of February.  We will never get out of school at this rate.

Wow.....That's really crazy!  It's scary that there are people out there that care so little about their loved ones health that they'd prefer to see them so unhealthy and out of shape. :( My boyfriend loves me as I am and wouldn't care if I didn't lose weight, however, he wants me to be healthy, so he wants me to do it for me. He says the important part is me being around longer, not larger.

I could do that on the weekends, but can't during the week.  I am usually to work by 7:30 a.m.  Good luck finding a walking buddy!

I can't, but be sure to post whenever you need encouragement or to share successes. We all have seen success using these videos and we all have given each other motivation. Welcome to the group!

by TracyDK on February 4th 2010 at 10:17 am

I can't do it that late on most mornings because my 1 year old is up and there is NO way I'm going to be able to do much of anything. However, if there was any way you could get started earlier, like around 7am, I could it with you! :D

by SueB on February 3rd 2010 at 3:45 am

Isn't that true.
Steps yesterday 7362, not real good. I just can't back to an everyday routine. I can't understand why !!!!!!!! I do fantastic for a couple days then I skip one. I'll never lose weight doing this. I lose a couple pounds then the next week I gain it back.Anyone out there have any ideas to keep me interested in exercise everyday and eating right????? I change my workouts so I don't get bored, but I just don't have it this time. I hope this passes soon. Because my weight needs to change and my health too.
Ok done complaining.
One good thing Charlotte is back at work , so things will be back to normal. She had a great time with her son in Florida, but I'm glad she's back.

Hi I am new to this group.  This maybe a silly question but how are you calculating the calories burned while walking?  I have Leslie's walk away the pounds 1 - 3 mile but do not know how many calories I burned.   Thanks for any suggestions.

 Level 2 Weight Loss Walk 5.25 miles - 88 minutes / 747 calories burned
 
 
My first time out with the new higher grade pedometer.  No more random resets!  Lots of features and customizable for weight & stride length.  There's an accompanying heart rate monitor, but I want to get used to the new pedometer first before I try out the heart rate monitor.
 
3/4 of the way through the walk, I found a new rhythm.  It felt not so much as if I was walking but more like the walk was flowing through me.  Very nice!

Yet another great walk.  Calories burned is an approximation though since my pedometer didn't seem to actually be counting my steps. Can't wait for the new higher grade pedometer to arrive!

Another great walk.  Calories burned is an approximation though since I accidentally reset my pedometer before getting a reading from it!  I have another pedometer on order which hopefully won't be so prone to such mishaps.  It's bundled with a heart rate monitor, so I should get a much better idea of how much of a workout I'm really getting.
