@HammH LOL! You mean because I posted a pic of myself AFTER having consumed 3 glasses of eggnog and 1 whole pie in the previous 2 weeks? And that I'd not been lifting weights in like 8 weeks?
Meh: what's a little pride measured against a great opportunity to make a point about fitness?
Hey Epster - Is that gausy looking thing on your hat a mosquito net? Wouldn't think you get many of them in Co.
Also - Big congrats on the "good health" program and results. Never forget - you have been, are, always will be - A work in progress.
@wilful LOL! I'm wearing one of those wrap-around visors. So my hair is pulled through the top. That gauze, then, is really just my bangs getting caught in the wind.
But yeah, we get mosquitos here in the summer. We do carry nets for slipping over the head while hiking. Some summers are b a d.
And thanks. It's been a fun and weird journey, all this changing. I'm about 3 pounds away from an entirely new wardrobe: even my smallest sized attire is beginning to hang on me. The best part: I feel like a 20-something. I sleep great, have a ton of energy, and no body parts complain when I move. And of course my vitals continue to be excellent. So yay!
Do you want to know how many calories you burn walking one mile, two miles, or more? How much does your walking speed matter?
Your weight and the distance you walk are the biggest factors in how many calories you burn while walking. A rule of thumb is that about 100 calories per mile are burned for an 180-pound person and 65 calories per mile are burned for a 120-pound person. Your walking speed matters less.
If you use a Fitbit or other tracker you may see this information as you go.
@ReTiReD51 One of the great things about walking is that it is free. No membership, no special equipment. Just start walking.
If you’re able walking is a perfect exercise because you can do it anywhere.
@nyadrnsuggests set your own goal only you know “what motivates” you. Remember any number of steps walking is better than none.
Good advice by both ladies.
Walking your dog is a fun way to increase your daily steps.
