Arizona Walker

I'm a walker too!! I picked up my walking again in February, after a FIVE MONTH LAPSE in walking!!! Ug! I am BAD. I was doing good those few months after surgery. Then summer in Phoenix hit and the humidity, and so I stopped hitting the pavement. Then I got LAZY... the weight still came off but too slowly. Anyhoo... I came up w/a GOOD solution for myself. Since I have trouble getting out there, due to "not wanting to"... I figure, "I have to get to work, right???" Well, as a school bus driver, I can wear what I want to work... so I decided to put on my walking pants (lightweight sweats) and of course my tennies... and so I walked to work 13 days! The school I work at is THREE MILES one way, but it's a nice walk! THEN... I figured, if I can walk TO work, why not walk BACK also??? This works well when my hubby (also a bus driver) has a field trip after school hours and cannot come and get me. So, on days when I don't have a field trip, I get in SIX miles that day. Takes only 2 hours total. I have lost 3 pounds, but figure I have firmed up some muscle. Also, my pants are a bit looser. Hip hip! --Lizzie G surg 2/22/05 282/177/needing 2 B 138
