But I have promised myself that my goal for right now is to do 10 minutes of exercise 3 times a week... which would really put myself at 120 minutes of exercise for the month of January.

Weight:
Last month was a nightmare. It started with finals and went downhill from there. I initially wanted to loss weight this holiday season but that didn't really happen. Then I wanted to just maintain, but that didn't happen either. I think I gained two pounds during winter break and it feels like the first relapse I have had on this journey but I'm back and I'll be able to successful jump back on the wagon when school starts up again. My first goal is to be 135 again by the 15th (my honor society induction ceremony).

Goal: Exercise every day. (at least 30 minutes)
Starting weight: 162
Goal: To gain endurance, fitness, achievement.
Week 0: Jan 1: Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (workout 1)
Jan 2: 30 mins Yoga (with dvd) Had cramps today so didn't want to push it with heavy exercise
Week 1: Jan 3: Only got thru half of JM "no more trouble zones" I was sweating hard, breathing hard, and I couldn't finish the whole 50 min workout. I hope by the end I can.
Jan 4: 30 DS (took a lot of effort to finally get to the workout, but I am so glad now that its over and I did it) Plus I walked about 8,000 steps today.
Jan 5: JM- BFBM Didn't do last circuit before cool down. Couldn't keep up 100 %, but found it very challanging.
Jan 6: I think I am going to skip today. My back hurts a lot and I don't want to over do it. I wasn't completely inactive today, but I am feeling guilty about it.
