Observations from this week:


  • Half way through the challenge.  This has been really interesting and fun on so many levels
  • I am getting into the swing of judging the weather and responding accordingly
  • I love the concept of paying attention to my surroundings
  • Will need to walk more in the mornings, it is getting ready to have a steady diet of 100 degrees
  • I see more and more of my neighbors out walking
  • I am sleeping much better as I tire myself out.
  • I love starting out my walks with prayers for the day.
Well, that is it for the week.  See you next Saturday.  Have a blessed week...pilgrim

Day 47



This was a very busy week; but, I walked everyday.  Here are my observations


  • I have to be careful not to overdo it.  On Tuesday I ended up walking over 7 miles.  My phone died at 4.88, but I walked a lot more after that because of the event I was attending.  This really tuckered me out on Wednesday
  • It is fun walking on the strip, will have to try that again before it gets too hot.
  • Because I am walking 7 days a week, I have to pace myself.
  • My stamina is increasing and I am losing inches which is good
  • I am a morning person, so morning walks are much more appealing.
Looking forward to next week and what adventures I can have.  Until next week......

Observations for the week:


  • I cannot count.  Keeping up with the number of days is getting challenging,  I am going to have to keep a journal and write down the day.
  • I am amazed at my determination.  40 straight days of walking. Listening to music and walking along
  • Hot days are a challenge but not impossible.
  • I am sleeping better because a sister gets tired.
  • Neighbors are waving me as I pass by, that is cool.
10 more days and I will be halfway through the Challenge.  Wow.

Until next week.......

Another week has come to a close.  Time goes by so fast.  I changed the same of the second half of the hash tag to #100daysofpurposefulwalking.  A friend remarked that because I do not drive I walk a lot and that is sort of true.  There is a great difference between a quarter mile here and a half mile there; and, walking with a distinct purpose and determined consistency.  When I get up everyday with the purpose of getting in at least miles, I am doing it to be more mindful of my health.  As I move toward my 70th decade, I am more focused in being present in my health regime.

It is amazing what you see as you walk that on other occasions you may miss.  Taking a photo during the walk adds fun to the process as I try to find something different each day.

What I learned this week:

  • I proved to myself that I can get in 4 miles - woo hoo
  • weather is about to change so I better be realistic and follow my 2.5 miles a day regime mostly in the morning
  • Walking with a purpose helps me stay focused.
  • Completed the first 30 days of walking it was an exciting fete.
  • Started on next 30 day installment of my walking, more determined than ever.
Until next week, keep moving friends........
