May 2010 Mile Challenge

[2911plans 16]

I am ready for summer. Every year I am miserable when I go on vacation with my family. Cute summer clothes did not fit and all I wanted to do was stay in the condo. Talking about spoiling the fun for everyone. My husband and daughters enjoyed so many actvities without me. This year will be different. Losing weight has lifted my self esteem. I am ready to enjoy all that life has to offer. I am challenging myself to lose 10 more pounds before the end of June. I slacked on my exercise and still managed to lose 18 pounds in 2 months. Now I am highly motivated and will not use the excuse of being too tired to skip my workouts.

Come join me.

My goal is 40 miles for May.

Hi Jazma. The challenge is about getting the miles in. We use a variety of methods. I use the stationary bike and treadmill. Others have used the elliptical and nature walks. I also use the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD. Set your goal and log the miles once a week.

Good luck and thanks for taking the challenge.

Get a pedometer. I have one and I use it often. Apparently 10,000 steps is considered healthy for weight loss. 10,000 steps equal 5 miles. 2,000 steps equals 1 mile. Pedometers are great for those who have sedentary jobs.
