I feel GREAT!

Today I took a walk on my 15 minute break (1 mile), and then at lunch, since it's such a beautiful day, I took a 2 mile walk. I feel so good right now. I know that I can do this, and it's just making small changes each day that will make the biggest difference. I wanted to know if anyone else did something today or this week that they feel great about?

I don't post often, but wanted to let you know that just reading your post made me smile!

Today I drank my goal amount of water and am headed to the gym in 10 minutes.

I did that on Monday and was amazed at how much better/refreshed I felt when I got back to my desk after a quick 15 min walk.  I had never used my breaks for walking before, but after 6 months of regular exercise, I just get antsy sitting at a desk all day.  Now I'm thinking I might take a walk on my lunch break too.  Thanks for the reminder of how great it feels!

I've been walking on my lunch break for about a month and have been meaning to start going to the gym after work.  Yesterday, I went to the gym for the first time in like forever.  I ran 5 mph for 30 minutes, walked 4 mph for 30 min, lifted weights, and stretched.  I was so tired but also really happy when I finished.  My feet hurt today though, so instead of running/walking today, I'll swim for an hour.

I have not yet started walking on my lunches though I do walk on both of my breaks (most of the time).

To answer your question about doing something good I turned down a donut this week. I know it is not a lot but I felt so good and free when I said no.

Keep up the good work and I have to say 2 miles in 30 minutes is awesome. I am afraid I am a slow poke and might...MIGHT be able to do a mile and a half in that time.

Sounds like you all are doing wonderful!

Tantek, I hope your workout at the gym went great!

moogie, I know what you mean, I want to get up and move around, except I kinda have t o stay at my desk...

janelle, sounds like you had quite the  workout, keep it up!

Stacy, don't worry about how fast you can go, just go! It feels great. This was the first time I went on my lunch break...I typically only go for a walk during my morning break...And saying no to a donut is awesome. I wish I could say no to icecream...mmmm...so good....
