Awesome! I'm doing the virtual walking 5k on SP. I'm currently in the week 2 training and today's goal was walk 1.75 miles. I actually went a bit over when I used the mapper, it was 1.81 miles!

Join the Spark People 5K Rookie Running Program! I will invite you. I started it at the end of winter and I have never run before and hated running in high school even. And I didn't think I could do it. But the program starts you off easy and each week adds a bit more jogging and less walking and I am just starting the last week of the program now, and each week I was surprised that I could do what it asked. So it works!!!!! I have signed up for the sparkpeople 5K virtual walk/run which is the last week of July. (Don't be too intimidated, even in the last week of the program, you still get little minute rest periods) You can do it! Even if you don't think you can, the program works. Honest.

The 5K your way is a really good way to build up your stamina. I've done two 5K and and am doing the program in the hopes of bettering my time on my next one Labor Day weekend. The first time it took me almost 1 1/2 hours! The second one, 66 minutes. Don't sweat it, seriously. It sounds way more daunting than it really is. It will be hard, you will have to push yourself, but you CAN do it!!

Good luck. I hate to run so I won't be of any help. But, kudos to you! Have a fun vacation.

Good morning my spark friends! Tropical storm Debby has gone! Yay! No flooding here. It dried up pretty quick. Expecting highs in th upper 80s today. Looks like it will be super hot for vacation next week. Going to have to drink lots of water to stay hydrated as there is going to be tons of walking at the Disney theme parks! :) I can't wait!
Ok, I know I shouldn't have done it, because I will probably just be disappointed come Saturday at weigh-in if I weigh in higher, but I couldn't resist sneaking a peak at my weight. I only weigh once a week usually because of the fluctuation in weight due to water. I was feeling thinner (if you know what I mean) so I just thought that I would check it out. According to my glorious scale, I have lost three pounds this week! :) I guess I will just have to wait and see if the weight is the same come weigh-in day!
It going to be a great day today! I hope that all my fellow sparkers have a marvelous Thursday! :)

Sometimes I can't resist a "peak" either. Some mornings you just "feel" like you're lighter. It's hot here in St Louis (my boss just came in and said her car thermometer said 108).  Not a good day to be out walking around. Glad Debby didn't put a dent in your vacation plans. You'll have a great time at Disney (everyone gets to be a kid there).  Wear some good walking shoes and keep yourself hydrated.  (BTW - you're doing a great job!) Report Inappropriate Comment |

You're doing so great. Congratulations on those 3 pounds. Hopefully they will stay gone. Talking about hot, we are expecting 103 degrees on Friday and 105 degrees on Saturday & Sunday. Yuck!! Too, too hot for NC. I have never been to Disney. I wish you a wonderful vacation. Jackie

 on losing 3 more pounds! Here's a thought: Make today's weight your official one and then don't weight in on Saturday.  I won't tell!

You gave in and weighed yourself? What! Does this mean that you're not going to undermine yourself on Friday? Is Friday a low salt day? Yes, this is how I obsess when I weigh myself before my weigh-in day. It's just so tempting. How could I not weigh myself on the day I realized that I needed to go to the next size DOWN? You have a marvelous Thursday, too. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Enjoy Disney. In 1999 our Disney vacation was altered by Hurricaine Floyd so I know how those storms can affect things. I think that was the first time Disney ever closed the park.
