Lighten Your Limbs With Friends

@marvinjsturing, @jk, We're into Week 10. We can pat ourselves on the back. If we walk five of the seven days, we have 15 days left to accomplish our goal. With the holidays I have days mixed up and dates, so I forgot to post on Friday to start Week 10. Today is January 5th, and we'll have Lightened our Limbs 60 days or more---from November 2 (before Thanksgiving and through Christmas and New Years, can you believe it?) and now we are almost to the finish line. It just makes me so thankful that Mayo started this before the holidays. I have seen ads for every diet under the sun and pitches to buy this machine or that one to lose weight. I am so glad I can just ignore it all except to be thankful for the Mayo Plan. Lightening our Limbs and walking with Willie on the road is a wonderful way to feel better and stronger. Besides walking, I had some interruptions during the holidays, but I'm making up the time. As soon as Week 12 ends this first phase, I'm going to continue. When I do twelve more weeks, that will be six months and then I'll just continue. It is a habit now and when I have to miss a day, I feel guilty and get right back at it the next day. I hope you will continue and come along with me.
Carol

Yes, right after New Year's, there are all kinds of ads about weight loss diets and exercises. "I lost X pounds on this or that diet." I laugh and think, "I lost 60 pounds on pancreatic cancer, but I don't recommend that diet plan to anyone." And yes, now that I've made it this far, I will complete this 12 week plan and then continue to walk.

@retiredteacher Everyone sounds like they’re doing great. Carol, that was great to get this ball rolling.

I didn’t make it to my club early yesterday so I went in the late afternoon and walked the track. I did 3 miles in 55 minutes so I felt good about that. I noticed that other people looked like they were strolling and I was hustling but they were passing me! Then I realized that at less than 5’3 my stride was a lot shorter.

Today I was just lazy and did NOTHING.
