Can I Walk 3 Miles Everyday? | Redoing My 5 Mile Walking Challenge

  • Remember when I tried to walk 5 miles everyday and failed? I was motivated to try again, but this time I took a realistic approach. Based on how much I was walking while being home, I decided to challenge myself to walking 3 miles (or 6,000 steps) every day for a week. This is what happened.

    I have nothing but respect for people who try and try again. Just remember, it’s your journey and whatever the reason is for wanting to get healthier, you are in full control of how that’s accomplished. It can be super hard to stay motivated when doing these things alone, but if you can push through the crap days, you can do anything.

    Oh the period weight gain is real! I weigh myself once a week, but on my period week I don't record the number because I know it's always off for bloating. It's just not worth the stress thinking about it during the time I already feel like crap. Great job on your walking challenge! I love walking and yoga because both are low impact and great exercise!

    Congratulations all this is NOT easy, I know from perisomal experience. I started walking a little over a year ago and over the course of the year I gradually upped my distance. Currently I walk 4 miles every other day. I find I need a day to recover. It is not easy. I find that I enjoy the goal set and accomplished despite of, or maybe because of, the difficulties I take pride in walking that distance. It may be easy for others but not for me. I just upped my distance about one month ago and in the sprig I will probably up it again, but for now 4 miles every other day is a lot for me.
    I do not weigh often as I find that to be the road to discouragement, instead I just do what I KNOW needs to be done to get more fit and loose weight and once every 6 months when I get a physical I have the Doctor weigh me. Over the past year I have lost 74 pounds, I still have a lot more to go but allow me to pat myself on the back for what I have done. I keep telling myself I did not gain all this weight over night I will not loose it over night ("darn" it). In the mean time my fasting blood sugar is down to a normal range and my blood pressure is lower than it has been for years (128 over 84)
    The really nice thing is that I find I have so much more energy for everything I do, I guess not carrying all that weight around plus the regular exercise. I wonder how much more energy I will have when I loose more, it may tale a LOOOOOONG time but I will loose it
    Keep up what you are doing, loosing weight is not easy, but it can be done. And remember the messages you tell yourself mean A LOT so sing friggen happy songs when walking

    • @Karen_esque

    I agree with you.. I just started walking a few months ago and try to do 3-4 miles per walk, preferably at night when less people are out and it's cooler.
    I haven't done a walk over 4.5 miles yet.. I feel that's a bit much and 2 miles isn't worth it. 3-4 is the sweet spot for me.

    If anyone is feeling empty, lonely, depressed etc, I want you to know that Jesus loves you, and He is the Only one who can make you feel true love, happiness, joy and peace. We need to repent of our sins and turn to Him and start living for Him and He will be there with you every step of the way.
