I just got done doing my workout and as I was jamming to my music I thought, "wow my music covers it all".  Currently on my iPod I have Eminem to Enya and everything in between.

So the question is....."what have you got in your iPod (walkman, cd player, 8 track....)"?

[Leah...]

i am totally in! i need to get into better shape, and Sammie could drop a pound or two! we bike, because it is a low impact thing for me, and he is at a flat run! i wish i had a pic of the tongue flopping in the wind!

Wow!!! That's a lot of walking, we usually do 2-3 miles a day part of it is a steep hill though.. ugh!  I don't have the knees for marathon walking.

[DixieSugarBear]

I keep the pedometer on all day so it counts every single step.�  Still it is a lot of times going around and around my yard. Now that I think about it my knees are doing better than they were the first two weeks.

Holy Moly, Lisa!!! lol  Umm.... I went 2 times around the neighborhood with Dazy and Ladybug about an hour ago.  Umm and I shopped at the mall today.  Does that count? :p

[DixieSugarBear]

Oh yes it counts.  Get a pedometer, it will count every single step for the day.

I should have read this thread this morning.  I would have picked one up while I was out today.

Ok, let me try this again, it said I was not logged in and I lost my message.

If you have the stamina for nearly 10 miles, you should think of throwing in a little weight training also.  All you would need would be a set of dumbells from Sam's Club, keep them in your warehouse and pick them up when you get a few minutes.  The good thing about the weight training is the calorie burn effect lasts long after you are done with your exercising.  It has been a good many years since, but I lost approx 110lbs from just weight training alone.  And I really can't think of anything that can take the edge off of stress better than being too tired to lift your arms

Yeah, you can't lift your arms to hit anybody!!

[DixieSugarBear]

Maybe what I need it to hit someone no not me I am one of those people that have a very hard time getting mad and even when I do get mad no one knows it. 

I am going to start adding weight and palates.  I have some 3,4, and 5 pounds I need to place at the shop and by the sofa so I can use them anytime I have a second.

As for the walking if only I could do the 9 miles at one time it would be great.  Most of the time I do 2 or 3 miles in the morning and 2 or 3 miles in the evening.  The rest is just extra steps when I am in the shop.  I really do see that just the walking is not going to be enough so it is time to add a little more work to my day.    oh boy!

Happy thursday everyone - well Harley and I walked 2 miles this morning before work.   I forgot my pedometer today but I generally get in at least 10,000 just at work.  I park very far from everything my job, the stores, the baseball fields.  So between everything today I know I will be over 10,000.  Look forward to seeing everyones progress
