Treadmill Nirvana and other ramblings

[plutosmyfav]

Hey Sunny!

You are doing such a great job! Don't you just love the running/walking to Disney idea? It is really helping to motivate me even though the weather hasn't cooperated for me to walk/run yet. (We don't have a treadmill either.) I figure I will either walk/run my way to Disney or exercise my way to Disney. Either way, it's a win-win, right?

Have a great day tomorrow!

Absolutely! Tracy, aren't you the one with the nifty exercise to Disney miles formula? I think that's a great idea

Holy cow thats alot of running. I would need a hip replacement if I went that far. How far did you start out at in the beginning and how did you move it up to that much? Have a great one.

Kristin,

I started walking about 4 years ago. After my second pregnancy (2000) I had gained alot of weight from 8 weeks of bedrest. When I first started walking again I could barely do 30 minutes at 3.0 mph (1.5 miles). After about 6 months or so I was upto 10 and 20 minute jogs at 4.5 mph and long walks (~5 miles or so). It just keeps creeping up!

So far today I've done lower body weights. I hope to get some more Disney miles in afterwork I can't wait to cross the state line!

I just added 6.3 miles in 65 minutes to my Disney miles. I also did 20 minutes StairMaster. I didn't have time to stretch and I definitely feel it now! Food is OP That's my biggest challenge.

Hi Sunny,

I was on bedrest with Katie too. It really does pack on the pounds.

The walk to Disney seems to really have motivted you. I think it is great. You will always be a workout queen.

Take care,
Beth

Hello

Easter was very nice. My mom started WW a couple of months ago and she served a totally WW-friendly dinner! I was delighted. I over indulged in Easter candy at home, though. My WW WI showed it, too. I was only down .6 lbs. At this rate is should take me, oh say, THREE YEARS to reach goal! But I guess as long as I'm not going up, I should be happy.

I am happy to announce I have crossed the state line! I am now in Connecticut on my Run to Disney The weather has permitted a few outdoor runs, oooooh that is soooo nice. I am now on my way to the gym. Today is rainy and cold. But at least its not SNOW!!!!!!!!!

Happy Monday Everyone

Sunny

You ARE going to reach your goal! If you keep up the workouts, there is no way it will take you 3 years!

What a great way to build endurance. You are always inspiring!!! Thanks you!

Way to go Sunny!

You are well on your way to WDW! I'm still here in Ohio, but I am working on getting to West Virginia.

Keep up the good work and have a wonderful Tuesday!

 

[pearlieq]

Happy Tuesday!

That's so cool that you got a WW Easter dinner!

Hope you enjoy the great state of CT. Even if it takes 3 years to get where you want to be, they'll be some of the best 3 years of your life! You're doing great!!!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

A WW easter dinner...sounds yummy!! So nice to know you could eat and not feel guilty!

Way to go with your running...you'll be in Disney in no time! Enjoy the scenery.

You are doing amazing with you weight loss..you're still going in the downward direction...and you look awesome! You'll get to your goal weight!

Have a great one!

Thanks everyone for such great encouragement

Today was great. Food is totally OP and I got in two workouts. Fifty minutes at lunchtime for killer upper body weights and abs and then 100 minutes afterwork for treadmill and stretching. I ran 8.61 miles in 92 minutes. Its hard to force myself to cross-train now that I am trying to rack up Disney miles! This is the last week of our GetFit challenge so I will definitely be tapering a little come next week!

My size 10 jeans are starting to feel a tiny bit loose Good thing that are plenty of rewards outside of that stupid scale

Hi Sunny,

You are doing an amazing job. Your Disney run is progressing at an amazing rate. I know the scale isn't cooperating, but eventually it will. You WILL reach your goal, and inspire us all along the way.

Take care,
Beth

 

[sarahsmom73]

WOW Sunny! You are amazing!!! I am so proud ofyou and your progress!!!

 

[wilderness01]

You are making great progress. I know I hate the scale as well. Your size 10's are starting to feeling loose? That is great!!!! Have a good day.
