A Natural "High"...

...That's what I was on today - A Natural "High". And pictured below is why:
This is a FIRST for me - EVER !!! And it may never happen again.


Yes, you ARE reading the treadmill's screen correctly. It took me 142.24 minutes to do 10 miles and burn 1763 calories. No running, just fast-paced walking, mostly at 4.2 and 4.3 after my quarter mile warm up and then half a mile cool down. I fugure this may be a "Once in a Lifetime" so I had to take a photo.

And that lead to my WW's weigh-in today. Check out my sidebar to see the update!
Which means a One Day is in order. I'm so excited I'm posting the One Day now and the winner will still be announced Wednesday morning when I boot up my computer.

Here's what I made last night to offer: 4 Zip-It bags, 2 wallet size Zip-Its (roughly 8" by 5") and 2 - what they refer to as a Gadget Pouch size (roughly 10" by 9").



There will be 2 winners, each getting a bigger Zip-It and a smaller Zip-it. They are made from double sided quilted fabric, double stitched seams, embellished with rick rack, and a small ribbon inserted in the zipper pull to make them even easier to open. Also, anyone who comments on my Facebook page will also have an opportunity to win this time.

One Day: Leave one comment here and/or my Facebook page and your name will be in the running. Yes, if you post both places, you will have two entries.

Happy Monday!!

Congratulations on the weight loss. If I ever get over this cold I have had all winter, I might get some energy to exercise. I use an elliptical, but rather be outside and go for long walks.

Those bags are so cute. I have made some of them, too and never thought of using quilted fabric. That's a great idea!

That is a neat little screen on your walking machine. I would think it would be fun to keep track of. I know I couldn't have gone that far on one, not in one day. Yay for you! Cute little bags there. I did see your post on FB and pushed the like button.

Debbie said...

Way to go, Cindy! It has never occurred to me to take a picture of the treadmill! Great motivation. I sure could use those zip-its. Thanks for counting me in.
