I used to walk 4 or 5 times a week, at least 3 miles. I was feeling so good, the headaches I'd been having stopped, I lost 20 lbs, and it did wonders for the PMS! Then I gradually stopped while taking care of in-laws. For a while, working 2 jobs, was on that merry go round called life. The weight is back, my energy level is down. I'm always saying I need to start walking again, but you know how that goes. You'd think with all the positive effects I wouldn't even think twice about starting again. So everyone say Go Gerri, Go Gerri....I need to get motivated to do this.

I finely decided that as far as exercise is concerned, I AM HOPELESS!! Need a friend to walk with but thats easier said than done. So no exercise for me, and I gave up caring once reading that new diet book called: LIGHTENING UP. It is great and shows how to overcome, and ignore the need for exercise without the guilt. Fantastic!!! Works for me...

Hubby and I walk our black lab puppy twice a day, about a mile and a half each time. We walk once at 8 a.m. and again in late afternoon. Puppies have so much energy, walking is one way to lessen the chases of the mutt using our house for a race track. After I was forced to put Shadow down, I really didn't want another dog. But my husband did. And it has a blessing in the sense that, Mister is now walking. I couldn't get him to walk before we got this dog. But our newest family member is so big and powerful, hubby feels obligated to man the leash. It's great. At least it's got him walking.

Chatty,
If I was anywhere near Vegas, I'd walk with you. But I'm not. So I can't.

Ciao for now,
b. rose

bws,
I noticed a couple of huge typos in that "walk lab" post.
Sorry I didn't see them sooner, when the Edit was listed.
Oh, well. That's what happens, with little time and big concerns.

P.S. Still think walking is the best thing you can do for yourself!!!

Go Gerri, Go Gerri, go, go, go Gerri!

I walk very early Anno. I have my sneakers,etc. out the night before too. I get up ten minutes before I go out the door. Whatever works.

Chatty, how about marching during commercials like you used to do? I thought that was a good idea.

Bonnie, wow, aren't you glad you got another dog. Geesh, she helps you get in three miles a day. That's awesome. Don't worry about mistakes. Also know that there is a little edit button above every post so you can edit the ones you write, if you like.

Funny you would mention that Dotsie, because I still do it when not exhausted from work. I don't consider it exercise exactly and now my friend has been doing it too. I wish I had more willpower to exercise, you know, not consider it such a drag. I love walking with friends.

The thing that helped me with my heel spurt was massage. I faithfully massaged the back of my lower leg and the areas around my ankles. It took awhile, but the pain was finally manageable. I honestly can't say if the pain would have gone away without the massaging, but I'm thinking it might have helped, at least.

With my daughter's treadmill, I have been able to walk 15 minutes (getting myself started). I don't want to push it, since it's been years since I've had a walking routine - something like 20 years. I love this way of walking, because I don't have to worry with neighborhood dogs, and I can read while I walk. I'm working toward walking 30 minutes, one or two times a day...

This is probably of little interest to any of you, but if I put it here, I have established an accountability reference.

gims, good for you. You're lucky to have a treadmill to use. It's a great way to get reading done too! What are you reading?You're going for two times a day? That's fantastic. Keep me posted on how you're doing.

My walking partner is back to teaching so now we're walking at night. In fact, I have to go eat now so I can walk with her in an hour.

heehee, dots... I am lucky that I have a treadmill to 'borrow.' I've missed 3 (three) days of walking. I did walk all of five minutes somewhere in the three days... but, it was to walk-off frustration from a phone call. I wish I could walk outside, so I could get some vitamin D. I'm just too afraid of dogs.
