Dave01 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Frangipani, Thanks. I went over the 100 lb mark a few days ago and have been hitting it extra hard to make sure it stayed there. The bridge was awesome to walk on. 2 miles each way, so I did it 4 times for 8 miles total. Plus the scenery was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had the time to do walks that long. I wish the weather was warm enough that I could do walks that long! We were on a 2 hour school delay today so I got my workout in this morning. It was 12 degrees outside with a windchill factor bringing it down to 2 degrees. No way I am walking it that weather. Uh uh. NO WAY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave01 0 Posted January 11, 2008 BRRRRRRR. I would be staying inside too. It was 78 here today so I got to work up a pretty good sweat. And a little sunburn too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasBecky 1 Posted January 11, 2008 Dave, you must be feeling like a million bucks. How far were you able to walk when you first started? Eight miles is awesome and so is your weight loss. Congrats on breaking 100. I hope I can get there in a couple more months. I only walked for about 30 minutes today. I was having a little trouble with my left knee and decided I better cut it short.

Congrats on breaking 100. I hope I can get there in a couple more months. Becky, I started walking around my neighborhood, for about 20 minutes at a time. Then I kept adding time or distance to get where I am now. A cheap Walmart pedometer really helps me keep track. I am going bak in the morning for round 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valstar 0 Posted January 12, 2008 DAVE, YOU ARE AWESOME! 102lbs - cost - a lot of sacrifice and determination, 8 miles - cost of sneakers and a pedometer, the scene from the bridge and the feeling of accomplishment - priceless! Val Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave01 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Back from the walking. It was pretty crowded today. Backed down to 6 miles though because I didnt want to be too sore to go tomorrow. Got a new walking partner that I met and she goes out there every morning, so that will make it nicer.:smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love and romance is always a good thing to spice up a sweaty, gritty, exercise thread........ WOW! Did I ever have a fun workout today!!!! A friend of mine told me about a secluded beach that I could hike to, and today I set out to find it. With a few wrong turns along the way, I finally found it. The entire hike was a strenuous 2 hours round-trip, but it had gorgeous views the entire way and the beach was absolutely magnificent! I just got home and am really worn out, but I am SO glad that I did this hike today -- it was completely awesome!!!! Have a great night everyone!

TexasBecky 1 Posted January 13, 2008 Well the Friendship Bridge and the hike to the beach are making my walk around the local park trail seem pretty boring. I know there are some great places to walk in my area too; I just need to seek them out and Dave and Frangi have inspired me to do just that. My exercise class starts Monday and I'm excited about that too. January seems to be going pretty good for everybody. Keep it up! My knee was feeling fine today so I got in my usual 40 minute walk.

gometros 0 Posted January 13, 2008 Went to the gym after work Friday afternoon. I have to remember to have some Protein before working out. I felt so lethargic. Did my 30 minutes on the treadmill, but only 16 minutes on the elliptical. Crazy Ates January Exercise Challenge 4 / 13 Exercise Sessions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salsa1877 10 Posted January 13, 2008 Got a workout in this morning. Goal for the rest of the day is 300 situps and 100 pushups during football games. Then tonight do the scultping part of the Biggest Loser DVD. I haven't gotten in as many sessions as I wanted to by now so I am going to have to ramp it up today.

Frangipani 1 Posted January 13, 2008 Well, I had so much fun on my hike yesterday, that I decided to find another hike to another beach and do it again today. This time I left earlier and I went out for 2.5 hours. It will probably be next weekend before I can find the time to do this sort of thing again, but it was a lot of fun! Have a great Sunday evening everyone!
