Last night as I was falling asleep, I thought that if maybe we all can't get together to walk on the physical sense then we could record our progress on the site. I walked yesterday for 30 min. and today again for 30!! So far so good and I feel better!! So whether we get together or not I think it would be great to chart all of our progresses and support each other during this 'stress' time.!!Good Luck to all and see you on the board!!
Great idea. Also, self.com has a fitness log. You have to go into the challenge page but you can chart excercises like strenght training, cardio and flexibility as well as eating right for each day! Doing that I feel obligated to meet the goals for the week. Yesterday was a stressful day, but I did really good! I did 30 min of arm excercises with weights and walked 30 min during lunch and 20 min after work with the doggie. This is not a usual day. Usually I dont do anything.. but I think all the posts helped!! I got in 20 min abs today too. I am game for a walking club too. My schedule is hard but I live in the Babylon area and work in Woodbury.
Where in Woodbury do you work? I'm in Crossways Park.
I lost thirty pounds by mostly walking, along with some aerobics and swimming. Forty minutes of brisk walking burns 200 calories. I use that as my motivator; I think of something I ate during the day that was about 200 calories and after my walk I think about how its effects are gone (sort of).
I also go to a gym now once or twice a week just to spice things up, but I still walk at least once a week, usually on Sunday mornings. If anyone wants to join me for forty minutes around West Babylon (or some other locale,I'm flexible) let me know! I'd love the company.
I'm on the North Shore, Glen Head area.
So I can see that we can at least walk together on line.LOL Maybe we can pick a central location. I was thinking of Eisenhower Park, or a Mall that's center.I've also been to Wantagh Park, on Merrick Ave.,which is beautiful.
We could also try and designate a day and time. Maybe a Sunday Morning. It's worth a try. Any Ideas?!?!
No kidding!! Im on crossways park west!! Went walking today for lunch!!! Right by the main cablevision where you pay bills! Very small world!
