My Chaos -

My week 7 results: I did about the same mileage wise as last week.  I did not take a day off, but I had a couple of slow days.  I want to step the mileage up this week without really stepping up the speed.  I've been instructed by my doctor not to walk too fast for now.  I need to lose more weight first since I'm aggravating some bursitis in my hip.  UGH!  I refuse to stop walking though... I at least feel good that I am exceeding the suggested walking times. Week 8 suggested times: This week's tip:  Take a look back and see how many days you've been walking, how many days you've skipped.  Maybe take a look at what might be keeping you from fitting a walk in most days.  This is the 2 month mark!! Good luck this week!

It's been a few weeks, but here's what I have to share...  Check out the links below. Sabre Tooth Tigers Who doesn't find articles on Sabre Tooth Tigers interesting?  Actually my son asked me which had a stronger bite.  A Lion or a Sabre Tooth Tiger?  We googled it and this article was one of the results. Chicken Pot Pie Soup I found this recipe on Pinterest.  I tried it recently and it was a total hit with my family!  Loved it and plan on visiting the Shugary Sweets web site again. Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins I've been making this recipe a lot lately and just love it.  It's a great pic me up snack and not too bad on the waste line either. Muppet Sons of Anarchy My hunny and I are huge fans of the F/X show, Sons of Anarchy.  I saw this posted on Kurt Sutter's facebook page and got a big kick out of it! Scrapbooking Inspiration I love DCWV  and I love  Page Maps   so when I get to see them both at the sam...

My week 6 Results: Last week was better, but I'm still falling short of my daily steps goals. Need to work on that this week. At least I'm starting to get into the habit of stretching. This weeks suggested minimum times are: Tip for this week: Don't fixate on how much time you are walking, but on whether you are building good habits. -Are your walks varying in length and route? -Are you increasing the number of minutes you walk each week? -Are you consistently walking and not missing more than one day per week? -Are you stretching for at least a few minutes after most of your walks? Good luck this week and don't forget to post your results for last week!

Note:  Adjusting the week to be from Monday to Sunday. Week 5 Results: Mileage for this week: 10.56 Total Mileage for 5 weeks: 62.98  I sucked this last week. 3 days with no real walk - I just ran out of time. I also only met my daily goal of 11,000 steps 3 times and not once did I add stretching to my routine. Bummer. This week WILL be better! Week 6 suggested minimums: This week's tip: Wear your pedometer all day long. I have both a walking goal and a daily step goal. They are totally separate for me. As long as I get an actual walk in and meet my minimum time, I am good for the walking goal, but I also have a total daily step goal of 11,000. I've been trying to come up with additional way to sneak extra steps into my day. I pace while on conference calls, I try not to send my kids to get things for me up or down the stairs, I set a timer to go off on the 50th minute of every ...

Total miles this week: 8.88 miles Total miles: 52.42 miles I took Sunday off, but wish I hadn't, yet again.  I suppose it wouldn't bother me to take the day off IF I at least made my daily step goal of 11,000 steps, but good grief...4816 steps.  I am going to be positive about the low numbers last week though since I ...
