For the record - I walked 45 minutes yesterday and 45 minutes today with a friend. Also walked around two festivals today, and gardened. I'm pooped. Bluebird, I couldn't agree more. My only problem is that I justify too much snacking.

I also walked to church but it's directly across the street from my home so it doens't count. You got in a pretty good walk. Great idea. I wlaked for 45 minutes with my friend again. Am not walking today. It's raining, but am wlaking bright and early tomorrow morning.

Anonymous Unregistered	Wow, I really like this new forum! I love walking and walk my dog at least 1.4 miles a day in addition to other walking, I also like charity walks and when I lived in Germany I very much enjoyed volks marching, yet there is no such club in my local area. But, some of you gals may look into the same for your areas as it may be a good way to meet others if you're single! (hint, hint) Also, I find walking very peaceful and helps me work through some issues that may be bothering me at the days end or prepare how I shall address an issue that day.

I think that may be soemthing I'll do on weekend in my enpty nest. No walk yesterday andmy friend called and cancelled out on our 6:15 morning walk for today. Perhaps I'll get one in later.

Maggie Member Registered: 02/19/03 Posts: 765 Loc: Oregon	Hi, I'm here to cheer you all on. When I broke my leg,ankle a few years ago my challenge was to walk again. This was before the soft casts they have today. When I started I walked a 1/2 block and back the next day was 1 block and on. Today I am up to two miles. Walking with family. Now a friend has moved in. We call each other whenever we feel like walking. She told me I am the only friend she can call on the spur of the moment and will walk. There are so many things to see and it changes every day. Good for all of you who are excercising somehow. Congratulations. Maggie

AvalonBlondi Member Registered: 11/07/05 Posts: 1096 Loc: West Chester ,PA	I'm still walking each morning...but I'm still at the beach and everything is flat down here...the real test will be in 2 weeks when I go home to PA ...everything is so hilly there...it won't be quite so easy...I hope I can continue this program then.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Now Nancy my friend the hillys in Philly (LOL) will be the best part of your walking exercise. Go for it you'll see a difference in your upper thighs and butt almost immediately. I tried a really fast walking stride today and nearly bent over as my breath left my body, too much too soon. Easy old girl, I thought to myself
