Not only is taking walks with my pets and my family fun, it can also prove to be rewarding!  We all know that walking is great exercise and a great way to lose weight.  This past week I managed to lose 5.4 pounds.  The only changes that I have made recently is walking the dogs on a more regular basis. 

I guess that I owe a BIG 'THANK YOU!' to Gather and the Doggy Walkathon for motivating me!

That's a lot of walking! I can hardly walk from one end of the house to the other due to severe knee pain. I need total knee replacement surgery. Right now I am getting a series of 5 weekly shots into my knee but I still can't walk on it. I wish I could go for long walks.

Congrats. That is so cool.

Way to get all those steps and miles in! The American Heart Association recommends a goal every day should be 5 miles of walking which is 10,000 steps on a pedometer for cardiovascular health (this is total for the walking you do at work and home along with any extra steps you get in from exercise. Keep up the great work; you're helping your family be healthy!
