Well so far off to a go start already done 6 miles. At the gym I've started to lift weights 3x week as well. Hope everyone has a good week. Here in TX it actually feels like fall so I've been walking outside with the baby.

I am hoping to do some walking as well, I am from TX too...just haven't gotten my big butt outside!! I am one of those moms who feels like she has to volunteer for everything....don't get me wrong...I love it...I'm just so darn busy all the time!! But I need to make time for me too. So her goes!!

Bike: 80 miles

I am in for 50 miles this round. I will be walking and riding my bike, last night I walked 2.5 miles. I hope to be able to walk at least that each day. Jacksonmom you are really off to a great start.

I bought a new pair of jeans last week, I mean real jeans, LOL not the stretch ones, they are deadly, it is easy to grow with those on.. LOL... and with all my exercising and watching my food intake I have gone from size 14 to size 12, but at the same time the scale has only moved down about 2 pounds or so, so for sure all this exercising is well worth it, even tho the scales are not going down... so keep on moving....

Have a great week ladies.....

Count me back in again. This time I want to count minutes of exercise so I can incorporate some of the various things I do that can't be measured in miles.

My goal is to do 1250 minutes of exercise by 11/11/02. Already have 120 minutes so far.

Thanks again Jacksonmom for the kick off! Weights now too? You seem to be trying all sorts of new things! Yay for you and everyone else that sticks with the challenge

I'd like to join this challenge. I use the elliptical, stationary bike and treadmill as well as work with weights and join in on the occasional fitness class. I will do 40 miles in the 4 weeks.

2BSkinny · 10-17-2002, 07:37 AM

How often are we suppose to post? I don't know if I will be able to post this weekend so here are my totals as of today.
Walking:1mile
Bike: 7miles

Walking: 19 to go
Bike: 73 to go
Total: 92 to go

I wonder how much dancing would count for....going Texas Two Stepping Sat nite!! I'm sure it would be alot...but I won't count it as I will probably be drinking too.

Good luck to all!!

jacksonmom · 10-17-2002, 04:57 PM

WOW this board is getting alot of action!

lodyangel-congrats on the 25 lbs. lost!!!!!!!!!!! I just noticed it on your post

madtypist- congrats on dropping a pant size!!!!!!!!!!!!

2bskinny post your totlas as often as you like.

So far I've done 12 mi. this week. With the weather nice I love to be outside so the exercising is easier to do right now. TTYL

RaceWalker · 10-18-2002, 05:43 PM

Wow, look at all the great goals!

My goal is very simple: to get started by walking every other day to the end of my street and back (1/2 mile round trip) at least. By Thanksgiving I want to be earning my name again!

Hi everyone

I'd like to join this challenge. I try to get to the gym 3 days a week to bike. I usually bike 10 miles each time, which equal 120 miles in in 4 weeks. So I'm going to try for 150 miles in 4 weeks so I have to push myself a little. I was at the gym already today and biked 11 miles so I'm off to a good start. I have to work at the gym tomorrow morning so I'm going to try and get 15 miles in (the gym is slow on Sat). I haven't been able to get to the gym all week except to work and I'm starting to miss exercise. I never thought I would say that...lol

2BSkinny · 10-19-2002, 09:30 AM

Got on the bike today!! I did 6miles so that is:
Bike 13 with 67 to go
walking 1 - 19 to go
Total 14- 86 to go
Keep it up everyone!!

I just figured out how to put an image by my name!!
