Blubber Blogger and March Walking Challenge Update!

It's not too late to join the March Walking Challenge. Just click on the banner above! Join with the rest of us and try to get in shape and/or lose some weight.

For those who have been following my progress in the March Walking Challenge, I have to tell you that to my surprise and amazement, I walked 2 ½ miles at 2.5 m.p.h. tonight for the very first time!!! I couldn’t believe I could do it without collapsing afterwards! So far I have walked 7 ½ miles since my last update. This wasn’t as much as I would have liked, because the treadmill that my dad let me bring to my house broke and I couldn’t use it for several days. I was so happy that my husband was able to fix it.

I have walked 17 miles -- 28.33 % of my goal of 60 miles in March!!

I also have lost a total of 15 pounds! This is with the nasty Girl Scout cookies in the house that my beloved granddaughter “forced” me to buy. I allow myself one Samoa or one Thin Mint a day, and only after I have walked the number of calories in the cookie. Adds a whole new dimension to eating cookies---it just makes it so much harder to eat half a box of Samoas when you know how long you need to walk to “make up” for eating just one!

Best of luck to the rest of the Blubber Bloggers, and to the March Walking Challenge participants. May you all reach your goals!!!

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
