Virtual Walk
I recently joined a group started by Monica and Martha under the journal name The Best I Can Be. There are several members, and each of us has some goal we're reaching toward -- better health, losing weight, quitting smoking, etc. The purpose of the journal is to provide each of us with some sense of being accountab to the others for working toward our goals and also for each of us to give encouragement to the others.
I am trying to lose 23 pounds by June 20, and so far I have lost 5. One of the group recently suggested a virtual walk, and I really liked the sound of it. Having a definite destination to reach, and being able to tick off each mile on the way there seemed like a neat way to give myself incentive to get out there and walk. Two members of the group are virtually walking toward one another and meeting at mid-point. Another is virtually walking to see her granddaughters. One of the fun things about doing this is getting to talk about what you "see" on your walk.
I am walking to my mother's house, and have made it through five of the 76 miles I'll need to go. If you'd like to read about what I've seen during my first 5 miles, you can do that here.
Oh yes, there are also some great recipes being shared in that journal!!

Good Luck with your weight loss, and virtual walk. I, myself, am doing the same things.
