Mike- glad to hear you guys are having a nice time. I'm surprised you have time for us ;-) Hee hee hee!
Debbie- thank you for asking. I am still plugging away but need to buckle down better.
Jenai- Happy 20th anniversary! I soooo hear you on the chocolate bar evil temptation....good for you for being so good!!!
Mary- that was a hilarious story you'd posted about the skinny friend's pants falling down. Lol.
Mern- looks like you're doing great this week!
Libby- sounds like you are still doing well even if you didn't get to exercise. Eating well is half the battle.

I did 30min on elliptical this a.m. and then I ruined it all by having the most sinfully good lunch with my evil husband.Then I topped it off with chicken pot pie for dinner...ugh...Yeah...need to get my eating habits back on track for sure!!!

Good morning everyone,
I feel hopeful strong and optimistic! (this has resulted in injury previously!)
We have a local boardwalk down by the water, it is a combined 2.6km (1.3 down and back). I THINK I want to try taking my 5lb dumb bells with me this evening for my walk. I can't seem to ramp up the speed to where I want,due to mass I am sure, but I am strong and very healthy, so I think adding the weight for the walk would get my heart racing.
My concern is, this is almost exactly how I tore my achilles tendon 4 years ago (I used a weighted backpack that day) and I was down and out for 2 months! I don't want to do that again! But I am hoping holding the weights, will keep me better stabilized. Thing is, if I get halfway down and begin to feel the pull........ I have to get back......

Good morning all!
Bea - I've read that it's not recommended to carry weights to increase the intensity of a walking workout, but rather wear ankle weights. I'll send you the link...I can't post it here because it is a competitor site. That boardwalk sounds lovely...by the water! You've mentioned it before so I've made a note that if ever I'm in PEI, I will check it out! Enjoy your walk!
Hope everyone has an awesome day! Let's make it a good one for the books!

Happy anniversary, Jenai!!! He meant well. Tell him next time to "say it with flowers." Or just a card.
Happy honeymoon, Mike!!! Say hi to your beautiful wife for us.
Mern, you're doing great.
Debbie, I know I am going to have to change my ways to see a change in weight.
