General Diet Plans and Questions - November Exercise Challenge.

This challenge is for the month of November. The challenge is to post the number of minutes that you will exercise (walking, wt lifting, cardio or what ever) until and including November 30th. As I calculate it, there are 26 days left in the month, so you take it from there to determine the minutes. You can post daily or once a week or at the end of the challenge, it's up to you. Hope you will take the challenge and good luck.

Now CHALLENGE yourself. If you have been doing 30 minutes every other day then go for a little more. Okay, here's mine.

I will meet or exceed 1035 minutes. I figured 45 minutes for 23 days of this month (taking Sunday as a day off).

Hi Semo,

I see your challenge and accept it!lol I'm from the LAWL board but thought i'd join your challenge, since i've been slacking off in this dept.

I have been slacking off of exercising for a whole month, going from working out 6days a week to 1day a week. I know, sad, sad, sad!lol

Well I do give myself Fri's off so starting tomorrow, I commit to working out 30-45min a day 6days a week. No exceptions. I know I can find the time to give myself 30min out of a day!

I'm in Semo!


Kathy

Semo..Semo..Semo..Semo...what a gal!!!:bn:

Minutes per week 270! 4 x 270=1080 minutes:faint:

That's walking for 45 minutes 4x week=180 minutes, and doing my exercise tape 3x week for 30 minutes at least=90 minutes.

Day 1 ~ November 5th

1035 - 55 = 980 to go

See I've already gone an extra 10 minutes. WooHoo. Once I start I'm okay.....it's just starting that holds me back.:lol:

Hi all,

Semo, it's because of you and your challenge that I did my workout today. I haven't done anything since early last week. But I wanted to be able to come on and post that I did 35min of cardio today, so I want to say thank you for coming up w/ this challenge. It helped me get off my butt tonight!

For all others who need help, come join us, every bit counts!

Kathy

November 6th ~ Day 2

45 minutes on the Orbitreck. OMG thought I was gonna die!!!
That's what I get for getting lazy.

980 - 45 = 935 to go!

KitKat: :cp: WooHoo and a pat on the back from one exercise dodger to another. Back when I was doing so well exercising I was in a monthly challenge similar to this one and it kept me going. Thanks for doing this with us, hopefully we can keep it going for months and months. :strong:

For anyone else that might want to join us, just jump in....just post minutes from today until the end of the month that you will pledge. :rolleyes: No excuses why you should wait until the next one starts.

Hi Semo!

I realized that I didn't post my minutes from yesterday's workout till the end of the month, so I have 870min to complete by 11/30 minus 30mins from yesterday: 840mins to go!

I'm glad you did your tortorous orbiktreck, it feels good when it's over but boy does it hurt when your in the process!


I would defintely love to keep this going! I need to be accountable to some one. What do you have scheduled for tomorrow? I think i'm doing 40mins of cardio tonight, can't make up my mind.

Kathy

Hey KitKat. I've already done 15 minutes of weight lifting this morning and I'm not sure what I'll do tonight. I have quite the collection of exercise tapes so I'm thinking it will be Walk Away the Pounds or Ballero. I'll have to hurry home to use the VCR before my husband beats me to the tv. Think I'm gonna put VCR on my Christmas list so I can have one for the bedroom.

You've already done 15mins of weights? That's great! I use to have a problem w/ the tv/vcr when I first starting use video tapes, but no more. Even knows that this what I do and they have to just give me that 30-60mins to workout and then they can have the tv back! lol Tell you husband to read a book while you w/o. lol

Kathy

I'm so proud of myself.. I beat hubby home and put in the three mile Walk Away the Pounds tape in and finished the 45 minute tape. WooHoo, that's a total of one hour exercising for yesterday, after I add my 15 min weight lifting that I did in the morning.

November 7th ~ Day 3

935 - 60 = 875 minutes to go.

Good Morning!

Semo, i'm happy you made it home before you hubby! I did my workout again last night. Wow, you've really helped me out w/ this challenge! I'm so glad i joined!


840min - 30mins from last nights workout. 810mins left!

What's on plan for today? I may do 30mins more of cardio and then maybe some total body weights tomorrow.

Kathy

Well let's see.....I did 10 minutes on the orbitreck this morning and will probably do another tape tonight. I should be able to get out of here on time (4:30) DH gets off at 4:30 also but has a 30 to 45 min drive, and it only takes me 10 min to get home.

KitKat: What types of cardio do you do? I have a variety of tapes and get bored pretty quick with the same one/type everytime. I like to pick different tapes according to the mood I'm in. I have yoga, taeBo, Walk Away the pounds, Ballero (sp), several of the older firm, and some generic. The only exercise equipment that I've ever stayed with has been my orbitreck, I've had it for over two years now and still use it several times a week. Everything else has ended in a slow death of dust at yard sales.

DNW: Where are ya kid-o????? You don't have to post everyday but for me it's easier to keep track if I do.

Work calls so I gotta scoot.

Hi Semo,

I hope you make it home before DH today. I have tons of tapes. I usually do Firms or Cathe and some Karen Voight. If you haven't heard of Cathe, check out : www.cathe.com she's the best! Very intense, always hits the post. She has great step, hi/lo and weight tapes. the Firm i've been doing them for the past 8yrs, they are great as well. If you don't know or if you do, you can check out and order a free catalog from www.collagevideo.com they update their catalog every 3mths. They most of the tapes that are released to the public. Very cool. tonight I might do 30mins of one of Cathe's cardio.

Kathy

Hi Can I join in also. My start date is tomorrow since my DD has a hockey game tonight so my evening is rush home from work, pick her up drive just over 1 hour to the rink, watch game hang out outside the dressingroom then drive home....that should be about 10pm and I will be ready for bed............lol

Put me in for 990 that will be 45 min per day........

Good luck to you all.

Hi Hockeychic, you bet ya you can join in, the more the better. Glad you have decided to do the challenge. Hope this will be as helpful to you as it is to us.:D

Kathy, (My sister's name is Kathy with a K too) I'm going to check out the web site. Who says I can't fit another tape into the cabnet. :df:

Semo, WARING, SITES CAN BE ADDICITIVE! lol I need more tapes like I need a whole in my head, but I have already preordered Cathe's 6new tapes. I just bought the firms new 6pack that was released this past summer. Karen Voight has a tape out called burn and firm that i've got my eye on. Also, the firm is coming out w/ a new informericial around Jan, and they will have 3new tapes out. Fitprime (Anna Benson the creator of the firm has her own company now called Fitprime.com ) has a 4pack coming out. Boy, where do I find the time. But I would trade my tape collecting hobby for anything in the world. lol I introduced my mom to Lesile Sansone and she loves her tapes. Collage carries a wide variety of Leslie tapes, so get your credit card ready!

Welcome HockeyChick, the more the merrier!

kathy

If I am doing my math right I have 21 days left in Nov. I am going to commit to 30 mins. a day for 18 days (Sundays off).

21 * 30 = 630

630- 20 min today= 610

Good Morning and welcome Er130. Erin you are doing fantistic on the weight loss. :cp: Send some of your motivation my way.

Didn't get away from work in time to get my tape done before hubby got home so I finished my minutes on the orbritreck.

For Friday, November 8th ~ Day 4

875 = 45 = 830 Minutes

I'm getting :strong: But right now my arms feel like noodles, just did 25 minutes of weight lifting (mainly upper body). Gosh I don't know how these people do weight training for hours at a time. :faint: I would have to be carried out on a gurney.

This dirty house is in great need of my attention today. Tomorrow is my day off.........Yea!

Good Morning all!

er130- YEAH! thanks for joining. We need to keep up our exercise as well as LAWL! good to have ya!

Semo- good job on the workout. To bad hubby beat you to the tv. lol

Well last night I did 30mins of cardio

Goal 1080-250: 830 minutes to go:faint:

610-20 on Sunday morning 590. I'm off to a slow but steady start

Hi everyone.....

Put me in for my 90 min, did 45 on Sat and Sun so I am down to 900.....

Have a super day everyone.

Good Morning Ladies, and Way to Go....look at all those minutes we have logged. :high: Highfive everyone!

Saturday ~ Day 5

830 - 45 = 785

Sunday ~ Day 6

My day off and I sure enjoyed it.

Hi all,

I took and unplanned day off on Sun, but since I doubled the time on Sat I'm not missing out.

It's nice to see everyones numbers going down, before we know it they'll be in the single digits!

Kathy

Dear Semo:

Very strange I actually did post my exercise on Saturday...but it's nowhere to be found so..

Original goal: 1080 mins. for month
Exercise to date: 250 mins.
Balance: 830 minutes

Just thought I would throw out these figures and let everyone know that we have 20 days left to complete our challenge. First number is minutes challenged/minutes completed/balance.

DNW 1080/250/830
SEMO 1035/250/785
KITKAT3NY 870/145/725
HOCKEYCHIC 990/ 90/900
ER130 630/ 40/590

Not too shabby for our first go around. Keep up the good work Ladies.

Thanks for organizing the minutes Semo, I'm still at work so i'll be able to post my minutes after the workout is done. Can't wait to leave! lol

Kathy

Hey KitKat, do you have any suggestions on a video that would be good for weight lifting. I looked at the web site that you mentioned but really don't know which to start with because I'm not familar with her videos. I'm not really looking for cardio and I don't really want to invest, nor do I want to store a bar bell with weights. I have dumb bells (I think that sounds sooooooo funny) in 2, 5, 8, and 10 pounds and looking for upper body mostly. Appreciate any help in this area.

I'm watching the clock too, never fails tho when I'm ready to jet I'll get a last minute something or other to do.

Hi Semo,

I think you should start off w/ The Firm. go to
www.collagevideo.com and do a search for The Firm or you can go to QVC and purchase the firm videos from there. They have a sculpting body kit to start you off w/. Or if that's a little steep you can purchase their new 6pack videos which is what i'm using to get back into the swing of things or you can go to their website
www.firmdirect.com and look through their video collection. You also can pick up their videos like walmart, target, FYI, suncoast video, but the best place to get them is from QVC and Collagevideo.

Let me know if you need more help picking out tapes, I could take about The Firm and Cathe all day.

I've been using the firm videos for the past 10yrs now. Since i'm more advanced now I've moved on to Cathe, but I always come back to the firm. I try to incorporate both when I can. A lot of us start off w/ the firm then move on as we get more advanced but the firms can be incorporated for all levels.

Kathy

Thanks Kathy, I've got several of the older firm tapes so I'll go home and dig around in that cabinet. I think the reason that I got discouraged with the firm tapes, was that I am so uncoordinated when it comes to following grapevines and box, those types of moves are dificult to follow when you are a total klutz and have no rhythm. Gotta go they are turning out the lights.

SEMO I listed my times wrong I'm actually at

630/40/590 as of 11/11 am, but now -20 more I have 570 left to go.

Hi everyone,

Thanks Semo for keeping track. I only got in a brisk 30 min walk yesterday so I am now down to 870.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Ladies.

Erin I went back and corrected your figures, I didn't catch that and I'm a bookkeeper. Scary yea.:D I'll try to do a update at least once a week.

Monday ~ Day 7

785 - 45 = 740

Tuesday, November 12th ~ Day 8

Yep, got mine out of the way this morning.

740 - 45 = 695

Kathy, I pulled out one of my Firm upper body tapes and did it last night. Just one question "Are they trying to KILL ME, or what?" No I really liked it (no dancing around) and was worn out by the end of the thing. Goodbye shoulder pads and Hello muscles.....

I did MBC (Mind, body connection by Lesia Hart) this morning, felt that I needed some power yoga to sooth my stiff muscles.

Gotta get to work, you all have a good day.

Hi Semo,

I'm so glad you pulled out your old firms. What tapes do you have? I think the new firm tapes are easier on the knees than the older firms. I did my workout last night I 30mins of Body Sculpt Blaster, from the new firms 6pack. it was good and efficient. Do you have a tall box "fanny lifter" or step?

870/175/685left

Kathy

Kathy, I'll have to look at the titles of my tapes, I know there is a set of four then some odds and ends that I've picked up along the way. I have been using just a step that my niece gave me, sure wish that I could buy the taller one without buying the tapes. I keep looking at it thinking that I could probably have one made. I'll try and remember to jot down the names of the tapes that I have tonight.

Semo, you can buy the tall box "fanny lifter" without buying the tapes. I think it's being sold for $55.00 at www.firmdirect.com or www.collagevideo.com just look under accessories. I was meaning to tell you that you should apply online or call Collagevideo and request a free catalog. They update their catalog every 3mths w/ tons of instructors that you don't see in stores. I know they have a few firm tapes that you don't see in stores. Heres a run down of a few firm tapes that are begginner and intermidiate friendly that I think are a good deal.

Fat Blaster

Maximum Body Sculpting (my personal fav)

Super Sculpting

Tough Tape2 (don't let the name scare you. lol)

Cardio Step Mix (this one is hard to find, you'd probably have to buy it from a swap, I think you could find a swap at Fitprime.com, videofitness.com and
FirmYaYas@************ (my fitness home)
and the new 6pack:
Super Body Sculpting
Super Cardio Sculpting
Body Sculpt Blaster
Cardio Sculp Blaster

and oh yes the sculpting kit that they sell in the informercial. Have you seen the firm informercial?

Kathy

Kathy: I went home at lunch and here are the Firm tapes that I have:
4 in a package (firm parts)- 5 day abs, standing legs, tough tape 2, upper body. Then, Complete aerobic weight training (total body workout), Sculpted buns, hips and thighs (tough aerobic mix) and cross trainer (hare workout)

The Fanny lifter is $55 and I can buy the whole system for $76.34 from qvc. I just hate to spend anymore money on something that I'm not sure that I will do. Still think that I could get someone to make a box that would work. We'll see how it goes.

Semo, you have a good set of tapes. I'm sure you can have someone make the tall box for you. A lot of people use rubbermaids.

Kathy

570-20=550

I need to get 10 more minutes in. The video I have is 20. Any ideas????

Erin, are you familar with Walk Away the Pounds? You just walk in place and do kickbacks while pumping your arms. You could also restart your tape and do an additional ten minutes, or dance or just plain old floor exercises. Heck just turn up the music and dance with the dust mop, just don't do that in front of the picture window :o people driving by might think that your weird....

Erin, jump rope for 10mins, do abs and stretching.

Kathy

No workout last night folks, but I plan to do something today.

How'd everyone else do?

Semo, did you beat your hubby to the tv last night?

Kathy

Hi everyone,

Just a quick check in..... didn't do any official exercise last night but did work for about 90 min on painting and so forth for a float for the Santa Claus parade does that count........lol

Have a super day.

Kim

Good Morning all,

I did 60mins of cardio and strength last night to make up for me missing Tuesdays workout.


How'd everyone else do?

Kathy
870/235/625left

Wednesday ~ November 13th ~ day 9

695 - 45 = 650

I was in training class all day yesterday, all I can say is BORING!!!

Got home and exercising was the last thing I wanted to do, but you know what, I felt much better after I did it. Then DH and I went to Wal-Mart.

Kim, you use your on judgement on counting your exercise. If I work up to a point of sweating then I think it should be exercise.

Erin, DNW, you guys are being tooooooo quite.

Gotta get to work folks!

Semo and everyone else. This challenge has helped me so much. More than I can say. Lets keep this going after the November one is done. Lets do a December and so on and so forth, what do you say?

Kathy

Sounds good to me.

DNW???? Not sure what that is for. I'm not up on all lingo. Sorry.

Wednesday 35 minutes
Thursday 20 minutes

550-55= 495 to go

Erin:

DNW=me, Dead Nurse Wife, my handle is so long everybody refers to me as DNW, the first initials. Take care and you are doing fine!!

Day 10 ~ Thursday, November 14th

650 - 50 minutes on the orbritreck = 600

Girls, I am pretty sure that I saw a glimmer of a muscle in my arm when I was drying my hair this morning. I had to do a double take but I'm sure that's what that thing was. :lol: It's only been a few months but I'm seeing results with weight lifting. WooHoo.

No exercise last night. But tomorrow, I plan on making up for it w/ an intense tape!

kathy

Finally got my arse back in gear after being a bit depressed for 2 weeks...walked this afternoon and felt good...it was so hot today and tonight it is freezing...damn screwy Jersey weather.

830-45=775 to go:(

I love you all but am a little envious that I'm not so motivated but I have to get motivated cause my back is killing me..everytime I stop lifting and walking my back kills me...can't stop for more than a week or I'm in very deep poops!!:o

DNW: Come on now don't be down. You know that exercise is the best thing in the world for the blues. I'm just a guilty, I know that I feel so much better when I exercise but it easy to let everything else get in the way. Right now my house is a mess and laundry needs to be done but if you want to visit me with a clean house then call before you come, :smug: cause I've been exercising!

Day 11 ~ Fri, Nov. 15th

600 - 50 = 550

I did The Firm Tough Tape 2, now I know where the name came from. Ouch, it was TOUGH.

I used Saturday as my day off so for today, November 17th ~ Day 12

550 - 50 = 500

Since 50 minutes are easier to subtract (see how this motivational thing is working) I've been adding five minutes on, you know it's only five minutes but it adds up.

After everyone post tomorrow I'll put up our totals. It's okay if you haven't been doing all your minutes. The thing that we have to remember, is that we are doing more than we would have been doing if not for the challenge. We all have things going on in our busy life but hang with us and we'll feel so much better even if it's only once a week.

Chat tomorrow.

Good Morning all!

I did 45mins on Sat
I did 45mins on Sun

Total ~ 535

DWN- I hope you get your motivation back real soon. At least your workout regardless and not letting it stop you.


Kathy

Feet don't fail me now! Come on ladies we want to see this to the end of the month. If you have slacked off, then dust those tennies off and get to work! :drill: You know I love ya! :grouphug:

does cleaning house count as exercise? Guess not!

DNW: Is that you!! Good picture, and your a cutie too! BTW I wouldn't know about the house cleaning counting as exercise!:fr:

November 18th ~ day 13

500 - 60 = 440 Orbitreck

Don't ask me, I just felt like I could keep going. I wonder if it's like a runners second wind?

DWN: cute pic! I did clean the house for hours this past weekend, but didn't count it, even though I sweat a bunch. I think you could count it if you want. Your still burning calories after all?

535 - 30mins of cardio last night= 505left

Kathy
870/365/505

After re-reading my post, thought I might need to clarify my remark about house cleaning. I wouldn't know about it being exercise 'cause I try not to do house work. :lol:

Semo.....LOL

No workout last night due to back problems and probably no workout tonight. Darn it, darn it to heck! lol and I was on a roll too! Doesn't that always happen? lol

Kathy

Well My Ladies:

Bit the bullet again and renewed my membership at the stinky man's gym. What is this gym? It's actaully called Ultimate Fitness and is on the bottom floor of a local Holiday Inn. It is not owned by the hotel...but their guests use it so I think the owners of the gym get a break on the rent.

Anyhow, only muscle guys go there and a few women, and the place isn't the greatest looking but it's huge and has lots of weights and circuit training machines, and many treadmills. Also when it is full of the muscle guys it does get a bit stinky, but these guys are so helpful...and I don't have to look at any Gym Hootches (Tiff's terminology for the leotarded, thonged skinnies!).:lol:

We women who go there are serious, so we wear serious sweat pants, cause we sweat and also get stinky.

Oops almost forgot....70 minutes of exercise at the gym this morning (cardio and weights).

775-70= 705 minutes to go.

Tkae care all!!

Congrats DNW! Back on the track or treadmill should I say.:lol: This is gross, but does your sweat smell different when you lift weights or exercise verses just getting hot when the temp is up? Mine does and I just wondered if this is normal.

Went to visit my friend at the hospital yesterday and with it being an hour drive one way I only have 15 minutes of exercise to report for yesterday. :( It was late when I did get home, then had two hungry guys waiting on me. I swear they would starve before they would look in the frig. Anyway, they do a lot of good stuff so I shouldn't complain when they don't.

Tuesday, November 19th ~ day 14

440 - 15 = 425

KitKat, sorry about your back, take care of it and don't push anything until it gets all better.;)

Gotta run.

DWN: Nice rebound. I'm glad you renewed your gym routine.

Kathy

KitKat: Thanks for the good cheer I need all the encouragement I can get. See the fat devil is always on my heels:devil:

Semo: I think we spew out more toxins when lifting weights, at least that has been my, and apparently the stinky guys experience, too. But it is a good sweat, very healthy.

Ah-A-h-h-h!! New motto: "If you're stinkin', you're shrinkin' ".:lol:

Sheakspeare has nothing on me!:

No exercise last night, due to back pain. Tonight i'm thinking of doing 60mins of cardio, probably Cardio Kicks by Cathe.

DNW: You are a funny one! "the fat devil?" hey I know that guy, when you shake him loose make sure he doesn't come snifin round my parts! lol

Kathy

Good Morning All. Only did 30 minutes last night, I'm still working on getting my house in order before Thanksgiving. And there is a hugh craft show this weekend that I want to go to, so If the house isn't in too bad of shape I can slip off for a day. Lets see....... exercise.....or.......craft show.............;)

Wednesday, November 20th ~ day 15

425 - 30 = 395

Looks as if I'm going to have to give up my free day in order to make my goal. :( At any rate, I'm doing much better than I would have other wise. Where's the rest of our group??????? We want ya back.

Kathy, take care with your back, we don't want you to push yourself then pay a bigger price later.

Gym this morning.

705-70=635

You know I may catch up to you frontrunners!

Have a great day.

Sorry I havent' posted in so long I have exercised a total or 135 minutes since I posted a week ago. I am not getting in 30 minutes a day right now, but I am just happy that I am getting in the 20 consistently. I am sorry to have let you down on this one. I will join up the first of the month next month and make some adjustments to my schedule so that I can meet my goal. I am not going to make it this month. I am losing though (27# in 11 weeks which i am happy about), so I must be doing something right!

Erin, sorry but we are not going to let you off the hook that easy!:drill: Now here is a high five for getting your 20 min in daily. :high: We want you to keep posting your time everyday, you have not let anyone down, you know things happen and we do the best we can. Finish out this month (believe me if you stop posting until the next one starts you will quit exercising...been there and done that) and get ready for December knowing that you stuck with it thru November. :grouphug:

Thursday, Nov 21th ~ day 16
(I'm counting the days, they say after 21 it becomes a habit)

395 - 60 = 335 30 min wt lifting & 30 on the Orbitreck

Woke up at 2am this morning and at three was still wake so I put in my MBC Yoga tape (heehee hubby didn't complain that I had the tv!) and did 60 minutes.

Friday, Nov 22nd ~ day 17

335 - 60 = 275

I'll be out of pocket tomorrow, my only living Aunt passed away yesterday so I'll be in Mississippi for her funeral. Try to post on Sunday, take care.

Mornin yall!

No workout again last night. I am so bummed! I'm going to try to do 45mins of weights depending on the ole back and do 60mins of cardio tomorrow. We'll see about Sun. If I do or I don't i'll post either way.

Congrats to all who are making those minutes everyday!

Erin- Semo is right. Your not going to get away that easy! Post those 20mins sessions each day girl! OH, congrats on loosing all that weight!

Kathy

kitkat: Give your back a break and see if you can do some sort of exercise that is not too strenuous...maybe your best bet is carido for a couple of days until your back is OK again....back injuries can escalate :chin:...take care.

Erin: Don't give up before the miracle happens :wizard: ...we want you here with us..with or without exercising..you can't stay motivated if you don't talk to us right? I haven't done very well myself, but no matter how many minutes I get in it's still a positive....not a negative...negatives are weight gains...everything else is a positive...ask Semo!:smug:

Uh, excuse me? Where is everyone? No checkins since Fri? Well ladies, we have to do better than this! Everyone took the weekend off? lol Hopefully I can post some minutes later after I get off my lazy butt!

Well ladies, come post those minutes! Erin you to! 10,15, or 20mins it all counts!

I spent the weekend nursing a bad back and avoiding asthma (that totall sucks!) but today i'm feeling much better, so back on the exercise horse I go!

Kathy

Hi Everybody:

Kathy: There was a message not post because they were changing servers...glad your back is better, but too bad about the asthma:(

Semo: Hi girlfriend....did 75 minutes this morning at the gym lessee...

635-75=560 to go can I do it??

Erin: Honeychild...where'd ya go?

Semo, Kathy, Hockeychick, Erin...have great times this long weekend.

No workout last night ladies, how's everyone else doing?

Kathy

485-75=410

I just may make it..goin' to the gym tomorrow morning too. Need to rev the metabolism for Thanksgiving dinner.

To everyone have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I all, how's everyone doing? Did anyone exercise on TG? I know i didn't got a bad case of asthma. Well I'm feeling about 95% better today so hopefully tomorrow I can do something. I know I won't make my minutes for this month but there always the next challenge.

Kathy

Does having people over for dinner and standing on your feet all day and serving three separate meals count? Probably not, but that's what I did.

DNW: I'd say that counts!lol

Have a great weekend everyone! Semo, i'm so looking forward to the next challenge, I want to beat my minutes from November. I had gotten half way through which is way better than I thought.

Kathy

Ok all I did this month in exercise was h-m-m lessee....

Beginning 1080 minutes, balance left 410 minutes...

Exercised 670 minutes this month...not bad, not bad at all....I think whoever exercised any amount was a winner this month but I think Semo probably is the winner she was real close to finishing with "0".

Congratulations to all on the challenge! ;)

Hi, I managed to get in 65mins today! I am so happy so I did even better than I thought I did this morning.

I agree w/ DNW that anyone who w/o was a winner

65 - 435= 370left that was not completed.

Started out w/ 870mins as goal completed 500mins completed this month!

Congrats to all who completed any minutes at all. I hope to see you all in the next challenge!

Kathy

Hi everybody! Sorry that I have been MIA but my kids have been here since Wednesday and all I've done is cook and pickup. Okay I did shop all day Friday, OMG I left the house at 6:30am and didn't get home until 7pm. My sister and I always meet for a shopping marathon the day after Thanksgiving.

Okay, I don't know what days I did exercise but had two one hour days, so I came up short on my goal by 35 minutes. If I had only posted on here I would have realized that I COULD HAVE MADE IT!!! But to late now and we are on to a new month.

I'll start the new thread first thing in the morning. I'm too tired to figure out the minutes at the moment.

Congrats Semo, i think you came the closet! Rest, i'll see ya tomorrow!

Kathy
