Welcome back. Hope you had a great time. Thanks for the encouragement. I did keep up lots of walking but not as much while on retreat last week. Now back to routine tomorrow morning!

I come back from vacation to find you ‘housewalking’ and setting all kinds of physical and spiritual goals…inspiring! I know all that walking will give you the time and peace to create new and inspiring talks and blog posts too.
You go girl!!

love finding another fitbit lover! I find taking a challenge like the one I wrote about = gets me going. hard to do each day though I try.

I love my FitBit. I need to do more, though. I don’t get in the steps I need. Thanks for the reminder! #sitsbogging

You are so encouraging. love your story too – that will inspire me to keep at it. I lost 65 pounds two years ago, then only 5 last year. not much this year either so am hoping this will rekick in my motivation and weight loss journey. Lets’ encourage each other.

Hi Tom, glad we found each other over the internet. Yes my fitbit tracks miles, steps, calories ( though I think it rates calorie use high), shows the time of day too. I have the basic one but other models do even more. I really like it and it has been a real motivator for my fitness. I have never been one to exercise much so this is a success for me.

Walking changed my life. Last year, I lost 60 lbs walking. As soon as I lost the first 10 , I was amazed at the improvement I was feeling in my body , and losing more seemed easy. I need to get back to it, because I am off my regime, and the benefits other than weight loss are enormous. Exercise is as good as any medicine to make you feel better. Let’s do it!

That is a VERY good question, Jean! 🙂

Martha, I love house walking. first time in my entire life I have been constant with an exercise program. And what a surprise God came along too.

You are beating with your weekly total now. At this retreat center I am not getting in my 20000 steps but look out next week. back to normal routine. LOL

God sure shows up in unexpected places. = even hoofing along with me. At the retreat center I have been walking outside. God and I had quite a discussion about why he created mosquitoes though today. LOL

With all the writing I do, getting up and walking for 10-15 minutes every hour is also much more healthier of me. What has been surprising is God walks with me too.

I do get to the gym at least three days a week, so that’s my exercise. 🙂 I like that this walking gives you time for prayer and reflection. Blessings!

You’re a great example of what it means to have no excuses when it comes to your health. I’ll be cheering for you as you work toward your goal!

And I love that out of physical training you’re discovering elements of spiritual training as well! Another lesson from getting in shape: Results come slowly, with effort. Yet over time we begin to feel increased energy, greater strength, firmer muscles, better balance, etc. In the spiritual realm we can’t see progress so readily. But close inspection of our thought-life, reactions to others, and level of self-control can indicate we ARE growing the fruit of the Spirit. Thank you for including us in your journey (no pun intended)!

Pacing is far better than sitting! God is guiding you to a way that works for you. Keep us in the loop about your progress.
