52 Weeks of Walking - Week 3

Week 2 went very well and I increased my total distance by about 8 miles.  My results: 
Sunday: 15 min  Actual: 1st Walk: 45 min 3470 steps for the walk, 2nd Walk: 30 min 2429 steps for the walk, 11407 steps for the day
Monday: 15 min  Actual: 1st Walk:15 min 1229 steps for the walk, 2nd Walk: 45 min 3493 steps, 10113 steps for the day
Tuesday:15 min  Actual: 1st Walk: 30 min 2233 steps for the walk, 2nd Walk: 60 min 4970 steps for the walk 11016 steps for the day
Wednesday: 10 min Actual:   60 min 5511 steps for the walk 9008 steps for the day
Thursday: 15 min Actual:  1st Walk: 15 min 1270 steps for the walk, 2nd Walk: 75 min 6890 steps for the walk 12009 for the day
Friday: Off Actual:  1st Walk:15 min 1418 steps for the walk, 2nd Walk: 60 min steps for the walk, 12291 steps for the day
Saturday: 25 min Actual:  60 min 5319 steps for the day, 10438 steps for the day

So, I walked everyday - no off day this week and I walked more than the suggested amount.  It felts great! I hope I can keep up the momentum even with the hot weather.  It definitely helps that I've had a walking buddy most nights.

Week 3 Suggestions:

Sunday: 15 min
Monday: 20 min
Tuesday: 15 min
Wednesday: 10 min
Thursday: 20 min
Friday: off
Saturday: 25 min

Tip for this week:  Keep a running total of miles you walk for the year.  The growing number will be inspiring.  You could even take a stab at guessing how many miles you will reach by week 26 and maybe even week 52.

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.
