Catfish - you inspire me! You are very fit and I appreciate that you remember where you came from! It's very hard for people that are obese to get to the gym and you've posted some things for newbies that I really appreciate - just lettin you know!

came home and got hub and kabo the doberman and we walked 1.5 miles.... would have walked more but on my left foot, i felt a blister coming on and decided not to push it.......but it fel awesome..thanks for letting me share

Started the day in the gym, 40 minutes on the arc trainer. Walked a good bit at work, and came home and relaxed a bit. Just finished a short walk with the puppies; my 14-year-old dog decided she did not want to walk that much. Tomorrow is distant stay in the gym again. Saturday I did 5.02 miles and 33 minutes on the elliptical, I hope I can do about the same tomorrow.

5 km run for me this afternoon.

Catfish, you continue to amaze me! I'm hoping to one day be able to match you.

Didn't have a lot of time today but did a quick mile run on the treadmill at the Y while my daughter took her swim lessons. I contemplated not trying to do it but a good friend said moving is moving no matter how long or short. Felt better after I did it so I am glad I followed through!

step aerobics......walked (a lot) at work...rom one end of office building to other.....i count it :)

as every step helps

my daughter and i are going to do a 5mile walk run. we have the tulip fields here and the path goes thru them. start training Monday morning. omg what have i gotten myself into.

Went to the doctors office for my first fill today. After that I went to the gym that is provided through my doctors office. I have seven free sessions with a personal trainer, tonight was the first one. Ouch! He put me through hell. He liked that I am already doing a good bit in the gym. Now I just need to continue with the new things he's taught me and continue working.

Got my 10,000 steps in today and did about 10 flights of stairs. Good day:)

Working out is not a punishment, it’s a privilege.

It feels so good to exercise and knowing that I’m not only doing something good for my body mentally and physically at that very moment, but I’m also doing it for my healthy future, too is so priceless.

To wrap it up—don’t make excuses today. Be thankful for the body you have and be good to it

30 minutes on the elliptical and another 20 or so on the bike. I took advantage of the short time I had and I am glad I went!
