[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 31887, member: 1318"] Good morning Riley, While my weight stayed the same the previous four days I was down 2 lb this morning. It sure feels good and I was getting concerned as mom and my gf were losing. But there are bound to be days like that. I had to invest in some really good winter clothes. I figure if I'm going to be outside I'd might as well be comfortable. I even bought some of those heat packs, you boil them in water to recharge them, they have ametal disc in them you crimp and they release heat for about 30 minutes. Got them at a Dollar store in Edmonton and only got two so when I go back if they have more I might get another 10 or so so I don't have to be reheating them all the time. My gf is the same way, she gets cold. I do too actually. The first about 20 minutes when I am outside my fingers get very cold actually but after everything else has been warmed up my fingers will get warm too. Playing sports is good but what I like about walking is that it doesn't require the presence of others to be do and it can be done anywhere. Even just going around the block a few times is a good start. I hear your pain on the lost pet. Animals give their love unconditionally and I've yet to be betrayed by a pet. I had one great love, my Lucy-puppy and I still miss her everyday. Yes, the Garmin works well for all sports where you'd like to know distance/speed/pace etc. except for swimming. But there is a Garmin 910 that is waterproof for the swimmers. Garmin also makes a foodpod for recording steps and also there is one for bike pedals to tell you how fast to pedal I think! You should be able to get a 305 at Costco for like $150 now. I also like to walk because it gives me a chance to think about things and to set my day out. Plus more often than not no one has yet screwed my day up with some of their nonsense! My only advice, don't do it in a month, a week or tomorrow, do it today. I found that challenging myelf to walk or run everyday was a good idea. once you get a streak built up it sort of becomes self-sustaining as if you miss a day you have to start over. Dec 31 will be five years for me so even on the worst days this tends to push me along. Very hard to do when travelling by the way. The Garmin helps here as you get to clock unfamiliar distances as when I am home I tend to do the same stretch of road. Sometimes I just go up and down the road in front of my house and again the Garmin tracks the odd path. I remember the first year I lived in Spirit River, I lived two blocks from work and I would drive, sometimes letting the truck warm up for 10 minutes when it was cold. Thankfully I saw through the stupidity of that soon enough! And still check out local run/walk clubs, there may be one closer to you than you realize that you can get involved with, solitary is fine but with others you can get pulled along by their energy. Get going Riley! Cheers, Garry [/QUOTE]
