I measure progress without the scale by...



  • How my clothes fit
  • Using other numbers (body fat, BP, etc.)
  • Monitoring my energy levels
  • Assessing my emotions & self-esteem
  • None of these- I only use the scale.
  • Other .. please share

When I walk the dogs we do about 4 miles in 60 minutes.
Thats my strolling speed - about a 15 min mile


When I'm on the treadmill I try to do better than that for longer periods,
Like today I worked at a 14 min pace for 4 miles.


Not fast like some, but ........ good enough for me.


As for the pain,
I have a delicate balance going on.
No workouts causes them to stiffen and be sore,
To much work causes them to stiffen and be sore.
I challenge myself to find the right fit every day :)

Well that kind of makes sense I think, LOL
Least you know what it takes & what makes you feel good & not sore.
So stay with it & keep doing it as often as you can :)
