Ok, so I think my legs were initially shocked and appalled at the new pace, but now they rather seem to enjoy it.

So far I have just been wearing an old pair of running shoes, and they're ok, but I need some new ones. I've got to say, as much as I hate the commercial, I'm thinking about saving up for a pair of Reebok Easytones (or trying to find them cheap on...

Getting Ready For Thanksgiving

I have a short week at work this week (My normal half day on Wed, then Thurs and Fri off), and I find I am halfway disappointed about that. While I am excited for the time off, I am already thinking, "OK, so what can I be doing to keep walking while I'm not at work?" I am looking at squeezing some exercise time into our schedule already (and excited about actually wanting to make the effort).

So, the husband and I will have to plan some long long walks with our dog (who will be loving the extra… Continue

Sad News Regarding Our Pregnancy

My husband and I learned Friday that we had lost the baby we were so excited about bringing into the world. It has been a really trying weekend/week, but we can definitely feel the love, support, and prayers of our many friends and family members; and that has been a huge blessing in the midst of it. So, while taking time to grieve together and getting back into the swing of things at work after a few days away, my goals on the treadmill have been recalibrated and we are back at square one. Walk… Continue

News News News

At the very end of September, I had to temporarily give up my treadmill desk due to a staff change here in the office. I was needed at the front desk, and there was no room for a treadmill desk setup there! I was pretty bummed, I had just started seeing good weight loss results, and had been seeing positive changes in my focus and energy from the very beginning!

With an impending new hire, though, I am excited that after a week of training her, I'll be back at my old desk, walking away! However… Continue

My First Official Update

This is my first update here at Office Walkers (since the day I joined, shortly after posting my review on our company blog.

I don't have an official total for mileage, But in the first few weeks I walked 5-6 miles a day, and then I got up to around 7.5 miles. These last two days w/my increase to 1.7 mph it is more like 8-9 miles daily.

I am feeling so much better than I was before. No more afternoon sleepiness where I wonder… Continue

Hi Melody,

Yes, I did get into it pretty quickly, but I also am a Nordic Walker, too, so the walking isn't unfamiliar. However, my knees and feet are tired at the end of a 6 hour stint, I tell ya! So, I sit a bit later in the day, in the evenings often, for another couple of hours of work. I've got my own business as a designer-illustrator, so I do lots of standing, go to meetings, etc. so I'm not on the treadmill for more than 3 hours at a time, most days.

I wanted to also express my sympathies on the loss of your baby, too. That occurred to me before my wonderful daughter was born, and in many long talks with my midwife, she was very reassuring and left me much comforted. She said that there is a high incidence of spontaneous miscarriage for babies that wouldn't develop properly in utero, and many times we don't even know this has occurred.

I wish for a you a very healthy happy baby when the time is even more right for the child and you two!
