RoeCampy's Performance
Challenge: Step up Walkers!

Daughter started at 184 - Blood tests are pending will find out on Friday ;) 

Wondering how many did walk on our first day??? 

Ok well I have to say this week I stuck to the program of starting slow, trying to build up my non-existent muscles! I actually enjoyed my walks.. I did the 3 times this week at 20 minutes each. I only enjoy walking as the sun goes down till the moon is up.. The other night I walked with my grand-baby in her carriage and the moon was full, and such a beautiful night. I just have to get my daughter moving with me...She did it 2 times with me already so shes doing good!!! I'm dying to hear how everyone else is doing!! 

OK EVERYONE CHECK IN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hi Roe, apologies to all for not checking in this week, so sorry i missed it by a day, i had been on line but just got the days mixed up and i am still convinced today is Saturday when in fact it is Friday, must be one of those weeks. Regarding the water, i did not expect additional challenges to the challenge i joined, however if you get nauseous,i may have a tip for you. When i first started drinking water on a regular basis, ten years ago i made the mistake of gulping down a whole glass at once to get it over with, i then poured a glass , left it on the kitchen table while doing housework and just took a few sips at a time, now and then , this was the ideal situation to adapt because i was not forcing it(and i am sure all of us on weight loss programmes know all about that.) It did the trick, i began building up slowly until i could not go to work without my large bottle of water. I understand the 2 litres includes your tea or any liquid you drink as it is not good to drink too much also. I have already done two of my walks. I am planning getting up very early (HOPEFULLY)and taking a long steady stroll over the hill and down to a local loch and if it rains i will take an umbrella. Have a good and positve weekend all.

Thank u for all ur concerns on my daughter's health.. as I mentioned on another post, her blood tests have come down!!! Her sugar was great and triglycerides went from 589 to 325!!! We already have a fam history of high triglycerides so in the 300's is good for us... mine is not good at all.. I am having pancreatitis attacks cause mine is so high.. and Im on medication to lower it.. need to do much better.. I started my own account.. this will be where I track my daughter's and mine will be on another account.. I will send my buddies here an invite soon ;) 

Sazy: that is a good idea since that is exactly what I do, gulp it down to get it over with, I will try it ur way now!! You r doing great with walking and being positive and encouraging others.. you are a gem ;) good luck with ur walk and hope the weather is nice ;) 

Hi Roe! Thanks for the encouragement!! I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble with this water issue. Your suggestions sound good and I will definitely try. The walking is getting to be really easy because of the time of year - Christmas (shopping). Went shopping with my husband last night and we were out for hours. He is 6'3 and I really have to hustle to keep up with his long legs . . . and he likes to park the car clear out in the middle of nowhere so no one hits it with their doors or shopping carts, so we have a good hike to the stores. I am usually huffing and puffing and he is laughing at me, but hey . . . whatever works right?
