Well, Happy New Year everyone. I hope everyone is doing great! This cold has been kicking my arse but I think I about have it beat. I managed to finish the month at 111.65 miles, well short of my goal but happy none the less. Now...bring on 2014 and all the wonderful things it has in store for us all!!

Well I hit 100 miles...101.5 to be exact. I may be done for the month though. Seems I have caught this cold bug that's been going around. I don't think it's the flu but definitely not fun. Who knew the sinus's could produce so much mucus....and such interesting colors too! Any who, finish strong everyone and let's get ready for 2014...it's gonna be a great year!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day with family and friends making memories to last a lifetime!! Oh by the way...I am at 91.5 miles for the month...lol

I hope everyone is doing great! So far I am having a decent month even as busy as I have been with work. It is time for a vacation. Glad I only work 5 days in the next 2 weeks. So far I am at 79.9 miles for the month and I have been doing a minimum of 4 miles per day. Everything is feeling good and I am looking forward to the new year and all the promising things it holds. Stay strong everyone, resist the temptations of the holiday goodies. Enjoy them, just don't over enjoy. Stay focused!

Well, I am at exactly 60 miles so far this month. I am a little short for the midway point, but I am gonna make it up in the second half of the month. Good news is I need to step up my workouts and start some training. I am going to be going to Colorado in August to go backpacking with some childhood friends. Should be a blast but I gotta get prepared. I never thought I would ever get a chance to do this again, but this new lifestyle is making it possible...I just have to do my part now and prepare. Mount Shavano...here I come...gonna conquer all 14,000 feet of ya!

Hang in there. It is gonna be tough on all of us. The food at this time of year has always been my favorite so I am testing myself daily...and winning...barely. You can do it...I got faith in ya!

As of last night I am at 39.55 miles. Today I am going to start some strength training. I think I will wait on that til after work. The weight station is in the garage and it is 27 degrees right now. Yep...after work it is. And thank goodness no nekkid planking in the snow for me....wow...I won't even discuss the dangers of that one for a guy!

Anyone seen my binoculars and snow shoes?

Monday morning check in...I am at 31.75 miles so far for the month. I didn't get much this weekend with all the family activities we had going on so time to step it up. Good thing is, I picked up a fitness station at a garage sale Saturday for $30, that was fun moving that monster. Garage is looking like my personal gym now...lol Keep up the great work everyone and go grab this week and kick it in the teeth!

I know what you mean. I have been walking religiously, drinking my water and protein and eating right. I stay between 800 to 1100 calories. I have been bouncing between 283 and 287 for 2 weeks now. But...I am still loosing inches. I am down 5 pant sizes so far. Will be nice once the scale starts heading south again.

Hey everyone, I hope all is good. This past week has been crazy but lot's of walking! So far for the month I am at 21.60 miles. I have to admit though, I haven't started the plank challenge yet. No fear though, I plan on starting in the next day or so. Keep up the great work everyone!

Which one? We have 2, the first is in the living room, the second is in the bedroom. Yep...we love Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone!

Sunday I did 4.4 miles. I also did a lot of up and down the ladder while hanging Christmas lights on the house.

I am in...this should be interesting...lol Thanks for posting the challenge.

Oh yeah, I also plan on starting this planking challenge. Lord help me!

I am in again of course! My goal this month is 130 miles walking/biking. I also plan to get started back with trail hiking by doing 1 hike minimum this month but shoot for more. This is something I used to enjoy and really miss. One day, I want to go on a nice long backpacking trip, but day hikes will have to do for now.

3.9 miles on this last day of the month. That put my total at 123.15 miles. I fell short of my goal by about 7 miles but that's ok. Still better than parking my butt on the couch. Great job this month everyone. Hope everyone joins us again next month.

Looks like fun! Hiking is one of my favorite activities and I look forward to doing a lot more in the near future!

4.15 miles today and feeling great. Resting the hip last week and stretching more seems to have worked. I may not make my goal this month but that's ok but I am not gonna go out without a fight! My total so far stands at 119.95. I think my goal was 130 I believe. Tomorrow we are gonna go on a nature hike at Lake Bistineau by our house. I should be able to get a few miles in there. Finish strong everyone!! Great job!

This So if I plank...am I gonna grow boob's like the picture? I just got rid of mine by loosing weight.

I just wanted to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving!! What are you thankful for? Myself I am thankful for all my wonderful family and friends, including all my new friends I have made on this site. I am thankful for a healthy year for both me and my wife, we have both been blessed. I am definitely thankful that hard work pays off. Yes, I brag abit...and so should you all. Here is what I am most thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Enjoy this wonderful day and give thanks for our many blessings in life!

4.20 miles today. Total is now at 109.1

Hello everyone. Well, the hip is feeling a bit better. I have been doing some of the stretches recommended and have not been pushing the walking to much and giving it a break. I have done approx. 18 miles in the last week since my last check in. My total now stands at 104.90 miles for the month.
