Ha! I loooooove it! 💗😃 

I admire your determination! 

Why thank you!  

Christine...shoot for 20 minutes or less a mile (that's 3mph), when you have that pace set comfortably then add distance, soon (within a month - two at most) you should be able to keep this pace "forever" or at least for 3 miles (1 hour), then try dropping time down to 15 minutes a mile, that is a brisk walking pace (4mph. Eventually this too will become comfortable...when this happens you will have a solid base for a ton of other fun things, again, well done, so proud of you!! 

Thanks Steven! 😊 

It's definitely gonna take a little time to work up more speed where I'm walking. Three sides of the block are uphill. I'm looking forward to losing more weight and being comfortable enough in my skin to go walk at the track at the High School. On a completely flat surface I'd be flying.  

Great going! You sound happy and fired up for the next milestone. Best of luck (which, as we all know, we make ourselves 😉) 

Thankies Phooka! I couldn't do it without you guys here backing me up! 😄 

You bet Christine...it will take time...also those uphills are a real bonus for you, as you will burn more calories in less time and build better endurance and strength. I do a LOT of uphill...actually up mountain work to build endurance and strength. Measuring your time is just so you can compare your performance to yourself...not racing, just measuring how you progress with your current body against your past...it gets fun trying to beat your old self's numbers.  

up hill three ways....you have more spunk then i do girl....i think i would die trying that...lol but way to go!! 

Lol Thanks. I don't know if it's spunk or laziness/convenience. I really just chose the route closest to my house. The next block over is even steeper, and the one on the other side is almost all downhill. With this 250 minutes of exercise mini challenge in the 10% challenge I'm doing I have to get in at least 36 minutes a day to hit it. I was thinking for now I'd do the regular 2 laps and then add on that little cut through at the end of my route again to make up the extra time. I'm kinda bummed I didn't have it in me to do it the first week so I can check off the 'successful' spot for that mini challenge that started this week.
