Walking

As you can tell from my ticker tracker I plan on walking .......alot!
Did you know that if you walk a little over 2,000 steps you walk a mile?? That don't seem like very many....but the other day I wore a pedometer all day and only clock in about 3,000 steps! (Granted I sit as a desk all day long) That isn't very good! :sulk:
If I'm going to drop this weight I need to move it! :whip:
I have posted a website that talks all about walking and how to clock in your steps! Check it out!

value added walking!

I was at the mall yesterday walking from one store to the next one I needed to go to (half way down the mall) so I walked at a brisk pace swinging my arms as I went! It may have looked a little strange in the mall... but then who cares! LOL!

another trick is to walk places the LONG way!

If you think you looked funny then you would have a "laugh fest" at our mall. They have this group called the mall walkers....there is a wide variety of people walking too. From young to old~even pregnant ones.
They do that arm swinging thing, fast walking the whole nine yards.
So maybe that would be good for your girls who live in the chilly places....just leave your money at home!

it's not that funny when a group is doing it - you are just one of many.... but for ONE person walking that way - people look! LOL!

Mall walking is a GREAT way to get exercise! unfortunately, for me, the closest mall is a half hour drive - that's one hour of driving just to go for a walk when we live on a farm... hubby wouldn't get it! LOL!

That's a shame it's so far away.
Around here they open the mall early for the mall walkers. None of the stores are open either. It's just a bunch of people walking pretty fast. Then you get the older ones. They look like they really enjoy it though. It's great to see a couple walking that early in the morning holding hands! It's kinda romantic!!

When I worked in a mall, I used to see them every morning! They would build friendships too and worry about each other if they weren't there to walk

Hey MGF!!! I don't see that ticker moving! LOL!

Well..there is a reason for this I had to go get a new pedometer. I went to WalMart and got one so that ticker is taking a move!

Anyone willing to join me in walking 100 miles???:jumping:
