Hannelore that is great! We have a lake a few block from our home with walking paths around it. It is 3.2 miles and add the blocks from home it is almost 4.2 miles. Takes me an hour when I hustle. I just don't do it often enough.

Chatty - post your progress. I usually think in minutes, not miles. I will post my minutes after I finish today.

Dotisie, JJ and Chatty - me too. I weighed myself after I returned from vacation and was shocked at how much I weighed. I am determined to have it off in three months. I will only be telling myself how much I weigh, though.

Yeah, me too! I like the idea of journaling the walk...fits right in with my resolve to enjoy whatever I am doing. I took a long walk on Friday around the neighborhood. I especially like to do this in the spring when all the plants are turning green and people are working in their yards. Sometimes I imagine what they were thinking when they did certain things. I don't mean that in a critical way...but more in a curious writer kind of way...were they happy the day they bought those plants or were they sad and thought the plants might cheer them up or were the plants a gift...why did they choose begonias over petunias...that kind of thing...makes for interesting contemplation! LOL

I used to love to walk my dogs on the beach...I can still smell the salt air...heaven on earth!

Okay, I went for a walk...it was cool...my cheeks are still tingling...noticed how green many of the lawns are...they must have winter grass of some sorts...I liked the deep, brightness...made me know spring will be here...noticed one older home...it gets in more disrepair every time I go by there...wanted to be able to fix it up...

Mostly I thought about how much my back was hurting and thus how much I needed the walk!

Jane, you are so lucky to have had the chance to walk the beach. That's one of my dreams. I haven't done enough of it.

Hannelore, I love the idea of walking in other neighborhoods. My only issue is time. The mall is minutes away and my neighborhood is right outside my door. Duh! So that's why I use the routes I do. I'd love to have more time to venture into other areas. One of these days...

So many of us have so much in common...like weighing more than ever. That doesn't sound so good. We need to do something about that. Let's keep walking more and eating less.

I walked for an hour at the mall this morning. Before my injury I walked 15 minute miles for the most part. Not sure how far I'm walking in an hour now.

My friend and I noticed our eyes were watering. We figured it must be the forced air at the mall. Yuk. I hadn't seen her since before Christmas so it was good to get caught up. I don't think there was a moment of silence. We met 16 or 17 years ago when our kids were in nursery school together and have been dear friends since.

We went out with the dog on New Years eve. Met some new folks who moved in last year. Nice people, and we all like each other, so we have some new friends! And it all happened cause I talked to them about the block fence they made with a coupla glass blocks put in. Really cool to have friends in the neighborhood. And what's better about it, is they are just down the alley from us and he is black, she is white. We have NO ethnicity in our neighborhood and that is awful for me. for me, if a neighborhood is all white, it's blah. And our immediate cul-de-sac has a lot of blah and keep-to-themselves people on it.
And my roses are blooming madly.

Well, I walked today as well and loved it. 45 minutes of brisk walking. I always go out with a scarf around my neck, gloves, coat, etc...and before the walk is thru I'm stripping! ha! I've also drank at least 4-16oz. bottles of water today and will probably drink a couple more before bed. Can you say PP-dance?

Walk clears the cob webs....my head is so clear when I get back and I feel sooooo good. Why then is it so hard to do this every day? We know it's good for us, we know we will feel like a million bucks when we get through, and we'll trim down. So? Why does my mind interfere?

Anyhoo....let's continue down this path (no pun intended) girls. Life is simple! (That's my new motto)

Today my walk was very short - the time issue got in the way. We do have a fair amount of diversity in our neighborhood, and JoMaPh, I agree about how much more interesting that makes the neighborhood.

My plan for tommorow is a walk around the golf course - That should be a good couple of miles, or more. Hoping for 45 minutes, myself.

I've gained too Dotsie. My Hubby's metabolism is so much more than mine. He eats at least twice as much as I do, and he's so thin! Jeez, that's just about unforgivable.
That's a good idea about drinking more JJ. Will do. And Dotsie, it's great that you can even do those walks now. Sure looked differently a couple of months ago.
More power to us all!...Got to run, ah,...walk.

I take a walk with one of my dogs every morning. (The other dog is a couch potato). There's a road nearby that I can walk with her to the local community college that has lots of grass and trees on either side. If time allows I go all the way to the college (the same college where I volunteer at the computer classes for seniors) and back, that's about 3 miles. If Brandy spots a squirrel or a rabbit, sometimes it's more like a jog!!
Just got back from this morning's walk and it is way too warm here for December! Going to be in the 80's today.......

Just returned from my 30 minute walk. A few days ago, we had rain for a few hours and then snow. Since then we have had a daily thaw and a nightly refreeze. A bit trecherous out there this morning.

I miss having my dog to walk with - but I don't miss him enough to replace him quite yet. Someday, perhaps.
