I walked briskly for 45 minutes last night with a friend. Boy she walks fast! Every now and then I run a few steps to catch up.

Looking forward to those boomer buns of steel Bluebird...LOL How many more times do I have to do this before it starts to show? 2..3...?

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Yes Dotsie I still march during the TV commercials but last night I really goofed because I got up to march and marched right into the kitchen and got a handful of almonds. Thank God I stayed away from the ice cream in the freezer....I sometimes sing the Notre Dame fight song while marching, "fight, fight, fight my butt is shrinking." Changing the words a bit however, LOL

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Yes almonds are so good for us so long as they are unsalted and not roasted. I learned about the not roasting on that Oprah health show the other day. When they are roasted they taste good but the good oils are destroyed and even turn rancid. These I have are non-roasted and no salt and taste heavenly and you can actually eat 20 of them, one ounce..... [ May 05, 2006, 08:56 PM: Message edited by: chatty lady ]

AvalonBlondi Member Registered: 11/07/05 Posts: 1096 Loc: West Chester ,PA	ok...I have been hiding from this thread..but it's been eating away at me...see how easily I am intimidated by peer pressure? So...first thing this morning, after walking my dogs, I took a brisk 30 minute walk...just to keep up with my Boomer sisters..walking my dogs doesn't count...they stop every 5 feet to sniff a rock or "water" a fire hydrant...anyway...I'm on board with this new BWS endeavor...thanks for the push girls...

It gives you a chance to walk away from your life and just "be". The breathing is wonderful, the sound of your footsteps is rhythmic...Usually the days I really don't feel like doing it, are the days I end up enjoying it the most. It's also great because if you ended up eating junk food during the day (or at night!!) you don't feel so guilty about it.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I will miss the pool walking from Sunday until Tuesday because I have to help paint a new animal shelter that has been under construction in a town near here with several other volunteers. I am hoping that painting will count as exercise....maybe I can talk someone into walking with me too.
