Walked 4 miles

Happy Sunday Everyone, On my quest to get back on track, I walked 4 miles today around our local airport. I'm so proud of myself. Now, my goal is to do that 5 times a week. My schedule is so hectic and with it getting darker earlier in the evening, it will be a struggle to do. But, I'm bound and determined to do it. On the eating front, I definetly did better yesterday. When I weighed this morning, I was actually down 2 lbs. I hope that holds !! Everyone, have a great "what's left of the weekend". Loretta

Way to go, Lori!

Thanks Wanda My 14 yr old daughter is going to be my walking buddy, so hopefully she can help keep me encouraged. Loretta

That is a great idea on so many levels! It's good for you and your health, it's a good way to spend quality time with your daughter, you are setting a good example for your daughter, and it's good for your daughter's health too. That's great motivation for you to continue on those days when you just don't feel like it. I heard on the news that some airports are making walking tracks for people to come walk. Is that what your airport did? What's that like? I was surprised when I heard it because I would think that airport security would not want unecessary visitors at the airport. It sounds like a great place to walk though, because they are so huge.

Yes, I'm really excited about the extra time I can spend with my daughter. I takes me about an hour to go 4 miles, so that's an hour of quality time I can spend with my daughter. And the walking will do her good also. Here where I live we have a small airport. There is a walking track on the outside of the fenceline of the airport. It's a really nice track and it's less than a mile from my house.

Loretta! YOU ROCK! where there is a will - there is a way! hugs, Britt

Thanks Britt, I just hope I can keep it up. I walked today at 3:30. It was a little warm, so I think tomorrow I will wait until 6:00 pm. My mom and her friend are going to walk with me and my daughter also...so the more walking buddies I have,,,maybe the more likely I can keep it up. Loretta
