I wanted to wait until Heather closed out the exercise thread for February before I made this post, but I have to take a moment to show everyone how well we really are doing on the exercise thread.

The 2009 numbers:
For January-----19,474
For February----12,537


The 2010 numbers:
For January-----24,105
For February----24,081

WE ARE AHEAD OF LAST YEAR'S MINUTES BY 16,175.
What does that mean actually?

It means we've exercised 259 more hours in the first two months this year than last year. 259 hours translate over to almost 11 days!!



So to all who participate, take a moment to pat yourselves on the back.
From me to each of you.... a great big !!

We still have work ahead of us. We need to go over 25K to break the March record and as far as I know, last year we never hit the 30K mark...man would that be sweet as all get out!!

To those of you who stop just to peek in or haven't yet joined our thread, please feel free to jump right in. I know some might be a little shy or maybe you're worried that your minutes aren't enough but each one counts and what each person contributes makes a huge difference. In this thread you are needed and your efforts are encouraged and appreciated. Together we are moving mountains and we can always use extra pairs of hands.

I truly never understood the power of the thread Heather began until I pushed my fear aside, closed my eyes, and just dove right in. It changes you...in more positive ways then you could ever imagine.

It works if you work it.

All my love,
Faith

Sweetcakes,
You are so right, I have backed from this thread so many times before, even after being invited by a great of mine because I was afraid that my little bitty minutes would not help because I knew that I could not keep up with all of you exercise Queens, but then I decided I was doing this for me, any minutes moving is more than what I was doing, and moving does something to you. I still cannot do much but I will get there in my own time, until I get there, where ever there is, my health will be improving more and more with every 15 minutes I can push. I put my fears and embracing thoughts to the side and just jumped. Thank you for having me.

Hugs love and blessings,
Ags

Wow, it's amazing JUST HOW MUCH exercise we can all do when we pool it together! And EVERYONE'S minutes count!!!

Faith, I think we've never even hit 25k before!! (though I might be wrong!)

Every time I feel like my tiny amount (compared to others) doesn't make much of a difference, I read things like this that remind me that every little bit adds up. It's nice to be a part of something.

neon-what you contribute is vital, we can only succeed by working together and every minute added counts. Example: we missed getting February to match the minutes of January by 23 minutes. So each minute added is equally important!!
