I came up with a new motto to motivate me to walk longer and faster. Here it is: Walk Like You Mean It Lady! So far it is working pretty well. I have done 30 minutes in the early morning and 16 minutes just before lunch. And now I am on my way to put my new motto in practice. I still have to walk for another 14 minutes and then I will be pretty proud of myself. Did you walk today?

@TiaraOceanView, No, you are not a loser, it's not because I am in the mood to walk that you have to feel the same. We all have our moments.

No, I was on my feet quite a bit yesterday, so took a break today. But it sounds like you did a lot of walking-way to go!

I haven't been able to walk a lot for a while, but I hope my husband and I can start back when his legs get better. Keep up the good work!

I love walking, and I walk every day! Not only is it good exercise, but it also helps you relax and unwind. I will do a lot of walking in the morning before work (when it's nice and cool out), and then do more walking in the evening around sunset. I used to be an avid runner, but all that running in my younger days is starting to take its toll on my knees now, so I don't do as much running as I used to. Walking is so much easier on my knees (as is swimming)

Hello @moffittc, Totally agree with you on this one. Walking has tons of benefits not only for the body but for the mind too. I used to jog a little too before, but those days are over unfortunately.

@moffittjc I loved the "high" I got when I was jogging. Missing that a lot.

@marlina What killed my knees were the many years of competitive basketball that I played in high school and college. It's such a shame, because running was one of my favorite pastimes! It was so therapeutic for me! But now I enjoy walking, and I can take the time to see and enjoy everything around me more!

I did walk yesterday around some stores, and the other night my husband and I took a nice 30 minute walk together with the babies in the stroller. =)

@LovingMyBabies , A walk with your husband with the babies in the stroller, that reminds me of so many wonderful walks of years ago.

I don't because I need knee surgery. When I get it I will be walking again. I do an hour of water aerobics daily and love being able to move pain free.

I walk around and around inside my house in the air conditioning. I lie your motto. Every little bit of self encouragement helps.

That must take a lot of efforts to take the dogs out every night.

I'm always at work and mostly on my feet the whole day so when I get home I like to relax.

@bacon147, I sure can understand that you have no desire to walk after being on your feet all day.

I usually go for afternoon walks but those days it has been raining heavily and I was unable to do so. Looking for the warmer days ahead

A 45 minute walk after lunch. The morning walk was a wash out. Pouring rain. Today I need to try for an early walk...the forecast makes planning my walks a bit of a challenge.
