Daily Update

I found an interesting bit of information in the First Magazine (usually in the checkout lane of the grocery store) about the benefits of walking, and I thought that I would share them with everyone. I knew walking was good for you, but wow it can make a bit difference. The article was sometime in mid-April if I remember correctly. I also have it posted on my fridge to keep me inspired.

"Research suggests that taking a daily stroll can do more than blast-fat-- it's guaranteed to make you healthier, happier, and less stressed. Look at what else walking can deliever:

• 40% Sounder Sleep
• 65% More Energy
• 71% Less Anxiety
• 88% Better Moods
• 90% Improved Confidence
• 166% Increased Libido
• 200% Sharper Thinking"

Not bad for a daily stroll, ehh?

Well as promised, I have been good today, but boy did I want to be lazy this morning. So here are the stats:

Thursday

• Treadmill
• 3.51 miles
• 59 minutes
• 521 calories

Thanks for everyone's support, it will definitely help me stay on the path to thinness!

If anyone wants to join me in this journey, please add your walking stats so we all can celebrate your success!

Alright Ladies, get your rulers ready!!

Okay Ladies, it is time to get my butt in gear. The wedding is in 11 months, 1 week and 3 days away according to the hundreds of emails I get counting it down for me, (no wonder there are crazy brides out there!) and there are lots of pounds that need to say bye-bye. And yes, that white dress and the thousands of pictures that are going to be taken is usually enough motivation for women, but for me I am still dragging my feet. But I have had enough!

So I started exercising something fierce on Monday and I am going to let you guys know about it so that if you see that I haven't been good with exercising I am giving everyone free reign to wail on me! Let me have it! Just send me a slap on the wrist. And hopefully this way, I will keep this up and get back on track. So, is everyone with me??

If anyone would like to join me, in the "don't want to get a slap on the wrist" club, please let me know and we can all keep each other accountable.

So here is what I have done thus far this week:

Wednesday

• Treadmill
• 7.36 miles
• 1 hour 54 minutes
• 1214 calories

Tuesday

• Treadmill
• 2.44 miles
• 44 minutes
• 402 calories
  

Monday

• Greenway Trails (beautiful paths here in Nashville)
• 8.24 miles
• 2 hours 12 minutes
• 1359 calories

I can't guarantee that I can keep these kinds of numbers up, but I will guarantee to you that I am going to do my best!

Challenge is set! Anyone with me?
