Did you know that there is a National Walking Day?
I had no idea until I read about it on the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans website. It is sponsored by the American Heart Association and they are encouraging everyone to walk for 30 minutes on Wednesday, April 2 (TODAY!).
You can take the pledge here. And, of course, be sure to log your miles!
Happy sweating!
It’s time for another round!
This quarter, our challenge will run from today (April 1) to Monday, June 30.
Here’s how it works:
1) Make a goal. Your goal anything you want – Mine is the standard 100 miles, but others choose to go for more, and it’s okay to go for less. Make it something that is do-able for you!
2) Log your miles. Everyday for the next three months, log your miles. Keep track in your planner, on your phone, on dailymile or in your head. Just remember:
If you walk or run, count it mile for mile.
If you bike, swim, do yoga or lift weights (or whatever else), count 15 minutes for 1 mile.
3) Check in. Every Sunday, I’ll post a call for miles. Leave a comment with how many you did. Also, share your goals for the coming week, and difficulties or successes that you have. We’re a community to support and cheer you on, but we can’t if we don’t know what is happening with you.
It’s fairly easy, and you’ll feel great when you’ve accomplished your goal. You can do it!
Feel free to comment or email me if you have any questions.
Happy sweating!

Another challenge has come and gone.
Today (Monday) marks the final day of our January-March 2014 Challenge. Only a few of us made it to the end. To you, I say: well done. I’m so impressed and so inspired by each of you as you diligently report your miles and consistently work hard.
Leave me a comment with your miles for the final week, and stay tuned for another challenge coming tomorrow.
Also, let me know if there is anything you would like to see here. Links to work-out articles? Recipes? Personal stories? Fitness product recommendations?
If you have any ideas of how to get a few more people involved, let me know that too. I think a few more people playing along would be great fun.

Today is the last day of week 12. How was your week? I have struggled this time around. I’m blaming the weather, but the fact is that I haven’t made myself a priority lately. Hopefully in the next challenge. Scratch that. Definitely in the next challenge.
Leave a comment with your miles for the week.
Come Monday, I’ll post a final call for miles. The next round will begin on Tuesday.
Just realized that I forgot to post on Tuesday! Sorry! Tuesday was the last day of week 11. How was your week? Leave a comment with your miles, and double check my math to make sure that I am correct. Almost done with this round!

Just about three weeks left of this challenge. We end on Monday, March 31. The next round will begin on Tuesday, April 1. I’m considering doing the call for miles on Sunday for the next round. What do you think?
I’ve improved a bit over the last few weeks but I don’t think I’ll reach my goal this time. How was your week?
Leave a comment with your miles and good luck this week!

This probably isn’t all that inspiring but it made me laugh.
Because it’s true. I worked hard at eating right this week and I got some exercise so I was quite disappointed when the scale went up rather than down. No spectacular results for me but I’m sure that if I stick with it, I’ll get what I’m hoping for. :)
How was your week? I did a fitness class that just about killed me, and a couple of good walks. It was nice to get out walking and I’m pleased that I haven’t lost my speed since August.
Leave me a comment with your miles!
