FlyLady's habit for May is going to be moving for 15 minutes a day.

We are going to have a virtual walk around the world visiting 89 countries that represent where FlyLady members are from.

I did it. I walked for 15 minutes yesterday. I took the kitchen timer with me to work. I was almost a half hour early, can you believe it? So, I set the timer for 7 minutes & took off. I didn't walk fast & didn't have to stop & rest either. I probably should have, there were plenty of benches on my route.

15 minutes a day x 31 days = 7 hours and 45 minutes.

1. 7.45 - .15 = 7.30

Rayni, that's cool! Don't overdo it if you feel tired but keep going if you don't feel so tired. I'm proud of you!!!

I've walked ever day since May 1. This is something I can do! I counted my shopping yesterday as my 15 minute walk. Hey, by the time I walked around Wal-Mart & the grocery store, besides the clinic, I was walking all afternoon,

Total minutes walked, 1 hour, 15 minutes, total time left, 6 hours, 30 minutes.

I dreamed of many things when he was born ...

I walked again today, the same route as last Friday, around the park & down State Street. This time I did stop & rest & then I had a stitch in my side. I'm feeling better doing the walking. I've decided I don't like walking in our neighborhood because there are no sidewalks. I feel safer on a sidewalk. DH is even noticing my weight loss. Tonight he asked me if I knew who someone was that was going through chemo. He was trying to explain what she looked like. He said she was my height & weighed about what I used to. I didn't think he'd noticed the weight loss. Of course, I complain about my pants falling off & I'm always hitching them up.

6 hours, 15 minutes left.

Friday, I walked to the bank & back, it took me half an hour, don't know how many minutes I actually walked. Then today, Saturday, I walked back & forth between the hotel & the conference center three times. I don't know how many minutes it was. I said if I didn't walk my 15 minutes today, it wasn't for lack of trying. My legs & back are tired.

What a darling graphic. I walked again today. So, now I've walked 2 hours and 45 minutes & have 4.5 hours to go. Not quite at the half way mark yet.

Wow, Rayni - you are doing great with this! I really admire how you've been keeping at this. And how cool that your DH has noticed the difference! An added bonus! WTG girl!!

I'm surprising even myself, LOL. I parked on the main street today & walked to do a couple of my errands, 20 minutes.

3.25 hours with 4 hours to go!!

I did the 7.5 hours

But I haven't walked much in June, it's rained every day since May 30, garnering over 5 inches of rain. Today, when I took my mom to a medical appt., I got on the scale & I was down!!! I had lost 4 lb., since I had been in the second week of April!!

Our rain is cold. I don't know what it would be like to walk in warm rain. I hate rain going down my neck. I'm still parking out quite a ways & walking it. Monday, I got my feet wet. It was pouring & the gutters were overflowing. Of course, I had open toed crocs. LOL. But yeah, I like seeing how far out I can park & walk it. Because I do like walking, on sidewalks. I still hate walking along side the road. It is one of my irrational fears. I guess from when I was a kid & walking with a friend & her dog & someone swerved to hit the dog & killed it.
