Tonite I started my daily walking routine

Started tonite.  In morning I take Story for 1 - 1 1/2 walk, after dinner Story and Sedona get about a 20 minute walk.  Came back tonite, grabbed my Ipod and off I went on my hour walk - it's a beautiful walk - down past a horse farm into a shaded wooded area and back.  No people, no cars.  Marking my calendar and intend to keep this up through the fall.  Now sitting smelling my lilacs I brought in this afternoon - day can't get much better.

Good for you! I'm out early in the morning to get my 2 miles in. I feel very guilty if I miss a day.

If it's to lose weight you can do it. I started walking 4 years ago. I used to weigh 207 today I weigh 137!!!!! By walking everyday, rain or shine. I did it. I now walk between 6-10 miles everyday.

@hoosieroriginal such an inspiration...did you change your eating habits or was it strictly the walking?

@phoenixbrd - I need to change my eating habits now so I can lose my middle that has expanded suddenly.  I think all of this walking will help encourage me - hope me luck!

Re: Tonite I started my daily walking routine

I try to get a fast paced 2 mile walk in at least once a day. 

 

A few years ago at my physical, my doctor noted my weight going up.  I told her I walked 10,000+ steps a day.  She said 'Well not fast enough!'

 

So when my Fitbit wouldn't take a charge any more, I decided against getting a new one.  I realized it's not the amount of steps that matter, it's the pace for sure.

 

I walk now, just to maintain my weight.

Re: Tonite I started my daily walking routine

I also need to get busy.... last summer I was walking 3-4 miles per day ...

this winter a bad hip cropped up ... its a little better so I am starting out

slow....about 1 mile...

 

I need to do this as I am diabetic...

 

I am considering breaking it up into two shorter walks per day ....

Re: Tonite I started my daily walking routine

I should also say I am a new diabetic and think I am sort of in denial ...
