Zowie! Walking with weights

[travelgirl 3]

I walk on my breaks and over my lunch hour at work. It's all I can really DO at work. I didn't feel like I was getting that much out of my 15 minute mini-walks, so I went to Kmart and bought weights to wear on my wrists and ankles. 8 lbs total.... And HOLY COW! What a difference!!! I totally broke a sweat, and feel like I got a great little mini-workout! Now, if my bodybugg would just get here, I'd know how many calories I burned.... :whoo:

Congrats travelgirl....that's awesome! I hate the fact that all I do is sit around at work. By the end of the day I feel sooo lazy!

I hate sitting at a desk all day, makes me feel lazy, too. In fact, I was a size 12 right up till the time I got a desk job, and started ballooning immediately...all the way up to 24-26 over the next 7 years or so.

I should get out there on my lunch break and walk around. It really does make a difference what type of job you have too, whether your running around all day, or just sitting. The farthest I walk all day is up a flight of stairs to go to the ladies room!
