Walking challenge Check In

Today I took the boys on a walk. We parked at my mom's house and walked a mile to Ross. I bought some maternity jeans! I know that seems odd since I am not prego but I got to thinking a while back that maternity pants might solve the large on top small on bottom dilemma. I bought a MEDIUM!!! They are dark denim and make me look tiny! And because they have a panel I can eliminate the need for spanxx! With summer coming, it will be nice to lose those! I also bought 2 workout pants. I bought a pair of capri leggings and a pair of long shorts/short capris. I am excited to wear them to the gym or out for a walk tomorrow! Today I also bought an awesome app for my iPhone called SprintPCS GPS Fitness Tracker! It was FREE so it is even better. This app tracks the time, distance, and calories burned for your workout! I used it tonight and it is amazing! It even pulls my ipod play list and plays it during the workout. Here is the workout review from the app! I don't think the calorie burn is right because my weight was not entered yet. The speed is slow because I was walking with a 6 year old who felt the need to stop every 3 minutes. Oh well, it was still exercise! Like I said, I walked a mile to Ross and I was able to pause the workout while we shopped. Then we walked back and I was able to use to map to navigate streets I had never gone on and I was able to get a longer walk than I originally planned. I ended up doing 2.67 miles. So my total for the week is 5.67 miles! I am going to try to go to the gym in the morning. Now that I don't have to wait around to take my son to school, I can get up and go in the AM. There aren't any good classes in the am. Only spinning at 6 am (NO WAY!) and some old lady exercise classes. Oh well, I'll do the treadmill and elliptical. Or maybe I'll swim laps? Or maybe I'll try the water exercise class? Hummmmm... I'll let you know how it goes!

  2. Thanks for the encouragement! It's been really fun! I logged another 3.7 today so less than a quarter mile and I am done for the week! My sister beat me to 10 so she gets the first alone 2 hours! Oh well :)
