Walkin' Away The Pounds

I love Walk Away The Pounds. I am so happy that I picked up one of the DVDs at Ross for 5 dollars. *laughs* This was a couple years ago, the Walk and Kick, and then I also have a combo dvd with a 1, 2 and 3 mile walk.

If I ever met Leslie Sansome, I would have to give her a huge hug. When I was the most sedentary of my LIFE, her video made me feel good about myself and like I could actually move again. When I was 17, I got Mono. I was out of commission for a good 3 months because of it..exhausted all the time and not moving at all. Then I graduated high school, wasn't working, so I didn't even walk back and forth to classes anymore. I met Curtis, we had a lot of fun together and a lot of that fun dating included eating out. We moved in together, I did work, but as a receptionist sitting on my butt all day, and then moved to oregon and was out of work for awhile! This was when I got up to 278lbs. It was at this time that I had heard about WATP on sparkpeople.

I'm not trying to say omgeveryoneneedstouse them, because a lot of people don't like them. For me, they are fantastic. I haven't been exercising at all lately, and the Treadmill has been mocking me, not to mention my ipod mini needs charged. But I decided NO EXCUSES and put in the 1 mile workout and I feel so good. There is something about those videos..they have enough moves to feel like your doing aerobics, but enough walking that you don't dread it. It has a tracker that tells you when you've completed .25, .50, .75 and 1 mile, but it isn't up ALL the time so you aren't focused on that either. The time flies. I also really like Leslie Sansones personality. She's down to earth, and sometimes she trips over a word, and in the Walk and Kick she gets the giggles..so you don't feel like you are watching an uber-health nut who would see your wobbly bits at the grocery store and make a beeline to the celery sticks.

Anyway, I just felt the need to share during my endorphine-love-fest. Toodles.
