Originally Posted By bloona good luck with the walking everyone.

I dont know where to fasten it though, I try waistbands, even bra straps ( saw that recommended) I'll just have to face it, you get what you pay for! ( mine was free remember!) oh, and well done again peeaanuut

Originally Posted By LPFan22 I am proud of you, MissC. Keep it up! Way to go Nuuty! Supporting each other is so important. Guess I should get out there a little more often myself. I really want a pedometer! =)
Originally Posted By smedley Good job Miss C! Hey, hats are oh so trendy anyway, I guess in Washington area you want to make sure it's something woolly this time of year

Originally Posted By Ursula Okay, does it count if I'm walking for a half-hour at the mall instead of on the treadmill? Seriously as I now have an errand after work at the mall.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling 6,785 steps or 2.14 miles today. That's not too bad considering I didn't actually *go* for a walk today.
Originally Posted By peeaanuut I walked about a mile tonight. Jayna did not go with me but thats ok. I feel pretty good. Ill have to continue it though. Since its the weekend, everyone is off the hook accept for 1 day. Try and walk one of the 3 days, all 3 if you can, but at least 1. Ill be out taking photos at a motorcycle race on saturday so I will be getting my exercise for sure.
Originally Posted By Ursula I forgot to bring my pedometer to the mall last night. I know I didn't do very well since I was mostly looking and not so much walking briskly. I shall try again tonight either around the marina or in our cute little gym.
Originally Posted By MissCandice Ok, today it was pouring so on my first break at work I walked around inside the building. It was weird though, it was pouring exactly only when I had the time to walk, once I had to start getting ready for work it stopped but that did me no good.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Well tomorrow is another day. I didn't even get a full mile in today. That ain't gonna cut it. I'd better get crackin'.
Originally Posted By Ursula I walked a lot at Disneyland for the three hours we were there this morning. My husband walks faster and takes longer strides, so I have to practically run to keep up. I even broke a sweat.
