In reply to mary @ minutes per mile. Ha ha, I did find my jam! Some of those walking workouts really wear me out!

good for you! i had no idea that walking could be so diverse and structured — glad you found your fitness jam! i love running but also enjoy a good walk, especially over lunch or after dinner.

Congrats on dropping the 10! That’s the amount I want to shed. I hate any food deprivation….seems whatever I’m not “suppose” to have is exactly what I want! I know its all mental but hey, its what happens. Calorie reduction and adding exercise back into my day is the my plan! I’d be interested in seeing a few sample food logs of what your eating during your week.

In reply to Natalie @ Tastes Lovely. Thanks, Natalie! Ooo, I thought about getting the Aria. I'm such a sucker for techie gadgets. I love my Fitbit!

In reply to Lesley Eats. Thanks, Lesley! I love that DVD because the two miles are fast and then you get the floor exercises. I don't want to spend hours and hours working out (even though I'm enjoying it).

Wow, way to go!

And that belly blaster walk is something I need to learn more about.

Way to go Leah! That’s so great you’re feeling better and have more energy. And losing 10 pounds is always nice too : )

I love my fitbit too! I get so excited when I hit 10,000 steps. I have the scale that goes with it too.

In reply to Jacki @ Two Forks One Love. Wow, Jacki! More power to you for doing a juice cleanse. I tried once and failed miserably, ha! That's great you're eating more fruits and veggies, too. I find that my body will start to crave those things more than the junk. Funny how that works! My "cheat" day is today, too. I always go to lunch with my coworkers on Friday. Today is hot chicken and I cannot wait!

Congrats on your success so far! My husband and I did a juice cleanse at the beginning of the month and it was definitely the kick start we needed on the path to get healthy. We’re eating way more fruits and veggies, we’ve cut out caffeine completely, and we only have “bad” carbs on our cheat day (today!!!!!! YAY!). I haven’t hopped on the scale yet, but I can tell that my body is feeling better and my clothes definitely fit better.

I look forward to following your progress!

In reply to Alexandra.

Love that we both decided to make some changes! You’ll have to keep me posted about Hot Yoga. I’ve always been curious as to how it really is. You’ll definitely get to a point where you won’t be sore. I had lower back pain for what seemed like forever and it’s finally going away because my core is getting stronger. Yay!

I’m so competitive that it really helped me to have coworkers on Fitbit. My goal was to be #1 in steps, lol. I’m so jealous you have a lap track in your building! We always take walking work breaks, but it’s getting too hot out now.

Keep sweatin’!!!
