So... I have some absolutely wonderful news to share today!
Remember how I started going for walks recently? Well... I would walk the same route all the time, and when I first started walking.... it would take me about 45 minutes from beginning to end.
I've also been working out on an elliptical, and my walks were not as regular as they had been in the beginning. And this past Monday evening, I decided to go for a walk... the first walk I'd had in about 2 or 3 weeks.
Well... I took my regular route, expecting to finish in about 45 minutes. But... much to my surprise and delight... it only took me 31 minutes to finish! I had cut off 14 minutes... and I hadn't even tried!
I was SO happy when I realized how much improvement I had made in such a short period of time! I honestly could not believe it. I am amazed that my body has responded so quickly to the little changes I have begun to make. And I know if my body's performance will improve so quickly and drastically... yours will, too! So never, ever give up!

Good for you. It is amazing how quickly your conditioning improves from walking and how fast you start cutting your time down. :D
Congrations! 14 minutes quicker, that is an amazing accomplishment :)
If I had to impart to people one key to this WL thing is to never ever ever give up.
Awesome job!
You're so right! Just a little bit goes a long way!!
Fantastic!!!! :D
Congratulations! That's a fantastic achievement..!
I've taken to swimming 3 or 4 weeks, as I prefer it to walking. But I have noticed that when I do walk I can go much faster with ease and not be breathless after climbing a flight of stairs.
It's enough to spur you on and keep on keeping on!
Well done :)
Wow! Awesome job improving your time.
That is awesome progress - way to go! :)
So happy for you! Congrats!!!!
Congrats-you go speedy girl! It is getting nicer around here for walking.
We live in a middle of a gigantic hill in Altoona and either way...you either get the hill coming or going!
Keep shaving those minutes off!
That's wonderful!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I'll never be able to catch up to you now :)
LOVE it!!! What an awesome motivator :)
that's awesome! congrats!
Woo hoo!! New follower here!
Those moments of revelation can be so mind blowing because we can get such tunnel vision about what we are and what we can do and never notice that all that work pays off. I am so happy for you that you hit such a milestone.
We have an elliptical in our fitness center. I think I am going to try it out now.
I hope this isn't a double post. I encountered a Service Unavailable error when I tried the first time.
