LJ Idol Season 11, Week 6: Solvitur ambulando

[quiltingdragon]

Walking did wonders the first time I needed to lose weight and start getting my body healthy. It opened up new worlds, and the weight began to fall off. Now that I am on medical leave from most outdoor exercise, I miss it, like an ache. I can’t wait to get back outside. I’m doing my walking inside for now.

Five years ago, I would have suggested you

That Harry Potter theme concept sounds so cool, I may seriously have to look into it - I definitely need more exercise in my life, and I'm a nerd, so it would be awesome to be able to connect with my peeps and have a immersive experience, as well. I'm very encouraged you could get to 5 miles a day from 100 pounds overweight - gives me hope I'm not a total lost cause! (And glad you're getting back to it - congrats on the 44! ;-)

Check out Potterhead Running Club (I know, I know, we sound like a bunch of potheads, the members got no input on the new name.) It has a website as well as a facebook page and then a group. I'm under Becky Galambos on Facebook if you want help connecting through there! It has definitely been a life changer.

I too must do something about my weight if I'm to live even long enough to see my granddaughter graduate high school.  I'm Jackie Garrett on FB and I'm going to look up the group as well.  I am also a 'Claw.

That sounds really cool. It is amazing when walking can actually help and make such a big improvement in our lives. I need to up my walking again. I was once walking 4 miles a day, and now I'm not even doing a mile, I'm sure. Life gets us all discombobulated sometimes. Anxiety/depression doesn't help. But things are improving and now I think it's time walking made a comeback too. Your group sounds cool, I'll look into it!

I never heard of the online running club thing, I think I could get into that!
