30 Day Walking Challenge

Today I started the 30 day walking challenge with my sisters, mom, and 3 friends. I have two groups, actually. Mom + sisters in one and friends in the other. I'm helping to keep 7 ppl motivated and that makes me feel really great. I'm excited!

So today I walked 30 minutes, which, in distance, was just under 2 miles. Then I came home and did the WW Workout, which seemed like a granny workout at one time, but today actually had me slightly exhausted. I'm blaming it on the fact that I walked first, plus I'm not used to those particular moves anymore. When it gets too easy again I'll move on to something else. I discovered, tho, that you can really intensify a workout by picking up some weights! I wasn't strong enough to hold them through the whole workout (more like, for about 30 seconds or so...) but I can do that, too, when the workout gets "too easy".

I'd like to take my weights walking with me, but I'm afraid I'd wear myself out and then not have a place to put the weights...

And if you're keeping 7 people motiviated, that means you have to do stay motivated too.
I really want to get that WW workout video again!

BTW: CHICKEN!!! Take those weights with you!!! If you get tired, hear Jillian's voice echoing in your head: "I want you grunting, panting, screaming right now! Don't give up now."

I called you chicken because YOU'RE the one who admitted you're afraid. Chicken!!!

I had a guy stop me and ask me about my weights and said, "I need some of those!" :) I think of it as making me look more serious about my exercise. :)
