Mile One of Thirty-One

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!


And Mile #1 is complete:


Since I'm off work until Monday, I like to get the walks in as early as possible.  I much prefer walking outside, however, it is freezing out there today!!

This morning I had a 4 pt breakfast - 2 slice of light bread with 1 tbsp vegetable spread, 2 scrambled eggs, 3 oz hashbrowns and coffee.

Though "officially" I'm not starting until tomorrow diet wise, it never hurts to watch what you're eating!

Have a good day!

It's That Time Again!!

It's that time to challenge myself to walking!  The goal is to walk 31 miles in the month of January.  That's one mile a day.  If you're new to walking; you can split it up into several walks a day to equal one mile.  Of course, there are many out there that can do more than that; but this isn't a contest, you don't have to do all 31 miles in a day.  Just remember: your regular steps in a day don't count; this needs to be an additional walk to those!

Can't do 1 mile a day; make it 1/2 a mile or a 1/4 mile a day; or just to get out and take a short walk.  Do what you can do and then you can increase it in February if you choose.

Get out there and walk!

Bad weather days?  Yeah, it happens.  I used to go out and walk anyways.  I had to or I'd lose my motivation - freezing temps, rain, snow, etc...  I was out there.  These days I take my bad day walks indoors with a walking pad:


I bought it 2 years ago from Deer Run.  This is a very basic one but they do have one with handles to hold onto and much bigger treadmill type ones.  The type I have is normally on sale for $159.00.  I do recommend it!
