Day 12: 100 Day Challenge

I couldn't remember what day it was today, apparently the 12th day. I made 2 short videos today as I walked with Wes.

And here's my screenshot:

Tomorrow will be the 13th!!! YEAH! I was born Sept 13, so I am fond of that number! 

Day 11: 100 Day Challenge

Day 11: We actually walked just under 2 miles, but my phone died at about 1.2 miles. We were on a trail, and when we turned around to walk back mapmyrun said we were at .94 miles. So, since we walked all the way back we must have walked 1.88 miles. Here's the video:

My daughter, husband and two of my sons walked with me. Here is a picture of me and my girl on the walk:

And the screenshot I took at 2% phone power...

11/100.

Day 10: 100 Day Challenge

Double Digits day! One more digit and I'm done!  Wes and I walked this morning before our 1-4pm church. 

Here's the screenshot:

Onward and upward!

Day 9: 100 Day Challenge

Today I bribed my husband took my 3 youngest kids skiing, so I had my two oldest with me and they walked with me! That was fun to have company. 

And we may have played some Pokemon Go as we walked...

Here's our route:

We made it!!!

Nine days down, tomorrow we'll get to the double digits! Yeah! (Then I will a a 10th of the way there!)

Day 8: 100 Day Challenge

Got it done while the kids were in school today. Went on a PokeWalk to get this one done.

8/100=2/25 of the way done! 

Day 7: 100 Day Challenge

Another night walk around the parking lot while Armour practiced basketball. 

One more day done. Wahoo.

Day 6: 100 Day Challenge

Still snowy and I am still sick, but I got my butt moving and did a mile after I took Solace to school today. Here's my video:

And screenshots of my route-I just went half a mile and turned around and came back instead of the full block this time. 

And here I am at the end, warmly back home and happy to be done for the day!!!

6/100=3/50 

Day 5: 100 Day Challenge

Wow, so today was a full day with very little time. I ended up walking my mile in the dark, in the snow around a school parking lot while my son was in basketball practice. But at least I did it and it wasn't in Walmart. Video:

And some screen shots of my route around said parking lot:

Day 4: 100 Day Challenge

Well, some days will be harder than others. It is still a storm here and I am feeling even worse today than yesterday, so I DID do my mile, but I did it slowly while doing my shopping at Walmart. I did do a couple laps around the store after I was done shopping and a lap around the parking lot just to make sure I hit my mile. But I did walk, so success!
Video:

And screenshots of my workout wrap up from MapmyRun.

Done for the day! I made it 4/100 days-that's 1/25th of the way there...
And guess what else, after I got home, I shoveled my driveway all by myself and still smiled for a selfie at the end! 

Bye for now!

Day 3: 100 Day Challenge

Today is a snowstorm in Yakima,  but I was determined to walk my mile. And my husband was nice enough to walk through it with me. It took lots longer because we walked through deep snow. Here's my daily video:

And here are a few pictures from my walk (check out how deep the snow is in my boots!) and me at the end. (As well as my screen shot of the distance we went):

1.5 miles, 35:16 total, mile was about 22:57.

100 Day Challenge: Day 2

Day two is in the books. This morning Everest had a primary activity at church that was an hour and a half long. When I dropped him off and realized I ahd a chunk of time, I decided to get my walk in. Good thing because since then it has started to snow again, and there is no way I'd be able to motivae myself to walk a mile in that! Here's my Day 2 video.

And for the sake of keeping track of my "stats", Here is the screen shots from the MapMyRun app:

So today I went a bit further than yesterday with 2 miles down (which is twice my daily goal, so yeah!). And I actually was a little faster average per mile(15:47). My first mile was a little slower than yesterday (16:12 today 16:04 yesterday), but I think it was walking through ice and snow (trying not to slip) that was the difference. And my second mile was faster (15:15), so my average was better (15:47).  So a bit of improvement on time and distance. Oh and just because, enjoy this picture of me at the end of the walk.

Well, 2/100 days down in the challenge. 1/50th of the way there! 

100 Day Challenge:Day 1

I actually hate having to answer to anyone, but I am hoping by doing this and posting it on this blog (where I don't think anyone looks anymore except maybe me and close family/friends), that it will make me feel responsible and motivate me to do this everyday.  I am going to do the 100 day challenge where you choose to do something for 100 days and video it. I'm pretty sure it's a YouTube Challenge (Maybe Armour will want to do one on his YouTube channel). But I am not ready to YouTube this crap, so it's going on here, My 100 Day Challenge statement: For 100 days I will walk, jog or run at least a mile a day. (This ought to kick start my fitness goals!) 
Here is my video from today Day 1, January 6, 2017.

And just for the sake of accountability, here are my stats from today (I am using the UnderArmour MapMyRun app, which I love, to track this):

I walked 1.6 miles in 25 minutes and 58 seconds for an average of 16:04 per mile.  Away we go!
