You are doing great. I totally fell off the wagon this weekend. I went to a dinner party Friday night (french cuisine menu) and then grazed the rest of the weekend. Trying to get back on track today. Hopefully I can have a good week.
ReplyDeleteBetty- It's there! Just above the needs improvement part- minus 2 lbs!
ReplyDeleteKim-You can do it! Just take it one day at a time and do NOT dwell on the past! It's done and today is a brand new day!
Pam, you inspire me.
ReplyDeleteInspiring. I am just trying to stick to the walking bit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI gave up running a lot of years ago due to a bad knee. My doctor told me that brisk walking would be as good for my heart as running and way better for my knees. Seemed like good advice.
ReplyDeleteKara- Thanks! If anyone gets inspired to be healthier by anything I'm doing, then it's all worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteNicole- We have to start somewhere! And walking is a great start!
Stephanie- BestSonInLawEVER is a chiropractor and he tells me the same thing. Problem? I LOVE running and I am stubborn. Wait. That's two problems. LOL
Go slow with that knee kiddo. You'll get there. And the streets will be waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic job! Don't stress running with a bad knee, that's just not worth the risk!
ReplyDeleteI think you had a great week! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteMichele- I'm trying. But this is yet another area in which I am impatient.
ReplyDeleteMaren-Thanks! I know- but I really am itching to get back out there.
AWESOME!!!!!!!! Excellent job! You are doing great! Can't wait to see what you accomplish in this challenge!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the loss for week 1! An awesome start to the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work this week.
You're great!
ReplyDeleteI'm not into running either, and unless you run on grass/beach, it's hard on your joints.But walking, that is just the most brilliant exercise!
Your doing Awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat job!!! My knee is bad too, but I do all kinds of work outs that don't
ReplyDeletestress my knee.
Congrats on the loss. I think your mileage is awesome .... Have great week....
ReplyDeleteWow that is so good and you lost 2 pounds!! really that does amaze me. You loose or have lost every single week.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you do to your knee? I was walking this morning thinking about jogging and I just wondered how you hurt it.
Great Job!
When I read your posts , I wish I had pom poms so I could cheer you on!! Your weight loss is fantastic, have you ever hit a plateau during this journey? It seems like you have continued on the slow and steady which is the best, and safest, way!
ReplyDeleteI think you did great!!! 650 miles with a bum knee? Get that knee better then kick it :) till then walking is good
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the walking and water. Hope that knee allows ya to run soon:-) Welcome to the 650 miles club... I'm part of that too:-)
ReplyDeleteYeah you're smoking on this! Great goals
ReplyDeleteA lot of walking for sure will work for ya. Sorry about your knee.
