General Diet Plans and Questions - January 2003 Exercise Challenge

Okay, here we go with a NEW YEAR AND A NEW MONTH.

For you Old Timers you know the drill, count 'em up and then pledge ‘em. Anyone new that would like to join our challenge here's what you do. Calculate the number of minutes that you will exercise for the month of January and make that pledge right here. You are only competing with yourself and the challenge is to complete the minutes on or before January 31st. Please don’t be intimidated by some of our gals total minutes, we’ll get there someday or you may be happy where you are! You may post your minutes daily, weekly or at any time of the month, we try to stay with the format of listing your minutes from the previous post less what you have to subtract and then your ending balance. (200 min – 35 = 165 then the next day start with 165 – 35 = 130) Makes it easier if everyone is on the same format. On Mondays I will try to post an update for everyone. All right, here we go!

I am pledging 690 minutes – that’s 30 minutes for everyday, Monday thru Friday, for January.

This sounds like a great way to track exercise Semo. I can use all the motivation I can get to keep moving so I'd like to join in. I will pledge 1000 minutes for the month of January.

Good Morning to everyone! I pledge 1200 minutes for the month of January.

I wanted to let you all know that thanks to the December challenge I lost 5 pounds. To do this in the month of December, with all those goodies around is a real accomplishment for me. I think the prior 2 Decembers I gained between 5 and 10 pounds that I had to face on Jan. 1st. I hope this month's challenge is as successful for myself and for everyone else that joins.

And now I'm off to the treadmill.

Good Luck!
Angie

I'm tryin' again with 30 minutes a day for 31 days, trying to be more realistic this time...for a total of 930 minutes this month!!

Hi Girls and Happy New Year!
Welcome Chrim and welcome back you old timers! :D This is going to be the year that we all get healthy and fit!

Wednesday, January 1st

690 - 35 = 655

I am new to this site and would love to join in your January 2003 Exercise Challenge. I need to lose at least 50 pounds and this is a great way to get started. I am aiming for 30 minutes a day 7 days a week for a total of 930. :flow1:

:yes: I've been lurking for about 2 weeks, and now that the New Year is here and the holidays are over, I am ready to join you. I'm going to aim for 690 minutes to start.

690 - 30 = 660

Good Morning and welcome Nettie. We welcome anyone that would like to join our group, remember YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MONTH TO START!! Just calculate your minutes and post them, why not start today. You will NEVER have the excuse of having to wait here.

Thursday, January 2nd

655 - 30 (2 mile Walk Away the Pounds) = 625

Hi all,

I just love this challenge! This really helps me to get my workouts in, cause I know i'm accountable for them.

Angie- congrats on the weightloss!

I pledge, 900mins for the month of January!

Kathy

Hi I'm new and ready to pledge 900 minutes. What a clever way to state goals :) Good luck everyone.

35mins - 900=865mins left

Thanks for the welcome!


660-30=630

This is great. I do so much better when I have a specific goal like this.

Thursday, Jan. 2

1000 - 40 (treadmill) = 960

Good morning everyone.

Started my day out with the 1 mi. WATP. Will try to get to the gym later as well.

960 - 20 = 940

Good Morning Everyone! Can you believe that we are already going into the first weekend of January 2003! We have already decided that we are going to get fit this year and we are off to a good start. Welcome SkyBlue, we're glad that you decided to join our group and I think you may be suprised how much this thread will help.

I'm a morning person so I try to get my exercise in first thing (then I don't have to think about it again for the day). I'm posting 30 min (2 Mile Walk Away the Pounds) for this morning I also did some weights but really wasn't long enough to count.

625 - 30 = 595

I love to see these numbers go DOWN.

Hello to everyone!

Dec 1-45 mins. treadmill
Dec 2-45 mins. treadmill/30 mins. lower body tape

1200-120=1080 balance

Did anyone see Oprah yesterday w/ Bob Greene on her recent 33 pound weight loss? Very inspiring. They are telling everyone to customize your own program to meet you fitness goals. Must be working for her.. she looks great!

All the better reason to get on that treadmill...

Angie

I have been sick since right before New Year's so I will have to play catch up this weekend and I hope I can. I went back to work yesterday and I am home sick again today....bummer:mad:

30mins of cardio -865=835

I made it to the gym tonight and did 30 min. on the elliptical.

940 - 30 = 910

20 min yesterday 40 min today walking.

930 -60=870

Hi all! Too cold for a walk tonight, so I used my bowflex for the first time in a long time. Did the easiest workout, and it only took 23 minutes, so then I had a bright idea to use up 2 more minutes doing squats. Duh.....I won't be able to walk tomorrow. But, the sense of accomplishment makes up for the pain, right? haha


630-25=605

let's see... i am new at this, so i think i will pledge :?: ...at least 500 min this month. if i pass it my goal will become 750 :s: and then, 1000 :smug: ...hey it's goal time :D

Looks like everyone is motivated and working it!!

Dec 3-45 mins. treadmill

1080-45=1035

Hi all,

I did 65mins today! Wow what a workout I had!

900/130/770left

Hi everyone! Just went for a walk, which I thought was quite long, looked at the clock when I got home and it was only 15 minutes! I hate that. But at least it I loosened up my thighs, which are killing me after doing those squats the other night. :dizzy:
Good job to everyone!! Let's all keep up the good work!:strong: :strong:


605-15=590

I was planning to walk for 30-45 min. but it was colder than I realized. So only made it for 20 min.

910-20=890

deadnursewife, I hope you're feeling better.

Still sick...and so is my sister...now we are thinking it is the lousy, rotten, polluted Jersey air since I am itching like crazy...I was telling my sister, and she agreed that in year's past we would get a respite from our allergies in the deep winter, but since our state is so polluted, we don't even have that down time anymore...gotta get away from here soon! But right now I'm going to take an Allegra. :mad: :mad:

Going to exercise tomorrow morning no matter what 'cause I feel like crap.

Love to all of you!

Hi, Is it too late to join? I think this really help me to exercise.

870-40=830

Still walking and lifted a few weights. I had a sick day Saturday so I'm a little behind already. I ordeed a Leslie Sansone tape from Amazon but it won't be here for a week still. I want to check out a new gym since my old one closed but I'm just too shy to really want to go workout in front of a bunch of people I don't know.

Hope you're feeling better deadnursewife. Keep up the good work everybody !

Good Morning Ladies, we're off to week number two... here are our totals for our first week.

CHRIM32 1000/110/890

SKYBLUE 900/70/830

Total of 1090 minutes and that equals 18.66 hours. Some of you may not have posted you totals for Sunday and I will make the adjustment when you do.

It's my Life, you most certainly can join us, anyone can jump in at anytime. We don't like excuses of having to wait.

Monday, Jan 6th

595 - 30 = 565

SkyBlue, I really like the WATP tapes, I thought they would be to easy but find that it gets my heart rate up and I feel that I get a good workout. The only thing that I hate is her laugh. :dizzy: But I guess you can get sick of anything after so long. (think that would work with ice cream?)

See ya'll tomorrow.

Hello, exercise buddies,
This is off topic, but I'm wondering what kind of eating plans (if any) you are on, and if they work. I find so much info on dieting and eating right on the internet, and it overwhelms me. I've tried keeping a food journal, but for some reason, I sabotage myself by day's end, so I've given it up. Also, how often do you weigh yourself? My weight fluctuates so much.....as much as 6 pounds from day to day, that I don't know what weight to go with. I'll appreciate any help or advice any of you can give me!
Thanks,
Annette

I would like to join you in the exercise challenge. Hopefully it will help me get off my butt. I will do 600 minutes of exercise this month.

HI all!

Let me get caught up on my times:

Dec 4-45 mins treadmill
Dec 5-45 mins treadmill

1035-90=945

Flying Fit, I updated your total, I'm sure that you meant Jan on those dates. Yea, I know, what happen to December.

Nettie, we really haven't disscussed what programs we're on, but I have found that for me this works. I just do the best that I can at each meal and eat as low calorie and low fat as I can. Once a week I have a free meal, I eat what I want and try not to make a pig of myself. But without exercise I cannot maintain or show a weight loss. At 53 this seems to work for me. BTW lost 35 lbs doing this and it's been slow. I know that I'm not going to journal or keep up with points so this is the way that I have decided to go. I think that is the key to this whole thing is finding something that you can maintain throughout your life. Good luck on finding something that will work for you.


It's my Life, I can't speak for others but reporting my minutes sure helps me stay with an exercise regiment. I know if I slack off one day that I have to make it up somewhere else. I hope it helps you as much as it has me.

okay, better late than never, but here I am. I'm pledging 1400 minutes for January. Even though I'm starting late, I've got my normal routine down, so I should be able to post my exercise thus far.

Jan. 1: 1400 - 45 min cardio= 1355
Jan. 2: 1355 - 45 min cardio - 50 min yoga=1260
Jan. 3: 1260- 40 min cardio= 1220
Jan. 4: 1220 - 110 min yoga=1110
Jan. 5: 1110 - 40 min cardio=1070
Jan. 6: 1070 - 45 min cardio=1025

1025 minutes remaining

Thanks, Semo. I think I've decided to just eat more good foods, and try to cut out the crappy ones. I am not good with menus, points or journals. When I feel restricted, I think my subconscious kicks into overdrive and eats like a hog! I'm with you on the exercise......the only time I've ever seen results was when I was working out regularly.:)

Hi everyone. Made it to the gym tonight. 30 min. on the treadmill, 30 min. on stationary bike. The numbers are moving down.

890 - 60 = 830

Good morning ladies. A big welcome to Gringa, you are already off to a great start.

Just a REMINDER to anyone that would like to join us, you can start at anytime, just count the remaining days of this month and calculate the number of minutes that you will exercise and start there. NO EXCUSES OF HAVING TO WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY! I know I keep repeating this but I want to make sure that everone understands that they can start today. If you wait until next month that's over three weeks lost

Tuesday, January 7th

565 - 30 =535

Here's today's stats:
1025 min - 43 minutes cardio - 50 minute yoga = 932

I've already done the cardio, and i'm heading to yoga at lunch.

I love this challenge, it's great to watch the numbers go down. Very motivating!

here is my update- it is for yestersday and today

600- 105= 495 minutes left to exercise.

Hello Everone.

Got 30 min of TaeBo in this morning.

535 - 30 = 505

here's the totals for today. i've already done the cardio, and i may do a 90 minute yoga class tonight...i'm not going to count that though, i'll post it tomorrow if i decide to go.

932-41 min cardio=891

Thanks Semo for straightening me out. I'm usually a day behind, but usually not a month!!

Jan 6-45 min treadmill

945-45=900

I pulled a muscle in my back and wasn't able to work out last nite and it's not feeling real good today. I'm still hoping to get on the treadmill after work, but we'll have to see how I'm feeling. Otherwise I am going to have to play catch up.

830-120=710 Still walking

here is my update for today

495-45= 480

well, ended up skipping that yoga class last night, so i'm glad i didn't count it in my totals.

here's todays exercise: 891-45 min. cardio=846

Just back from the gym and I did:

10 min - warmup treadmill
40 min - upper body weights
30 min - treadmill

830 - 80 = 750

Went on a short walk with my son, will try to do more later.

550-10=540


GringaGordita, you are doing GREAT with your weight loss! :bravo:

Good Morning and a Happy Friday to Everyone!

I didn't get to exercise until after work yesterday. 45 min of Walk Away the Pounds. I've ordered a new tape and hope it will come in today and I can try something new.

505 - 45 = 460

I can see that we're gonna have lots of minutes for this week! Keep up the good work girls.:cp: :cp:

TGIF!

My back is finally a little better so I was able to get on the treadmill last nite. Hopefully it will improve enough so I can get back to my weights soon.

Jan. 9-40 mins treadmill

900-40=860

710 -135=575 Still walking, lifting a few weights, my Leslie Sansone tape came today and I tried it out. It was more of a workout than I expected. I really like it. I don't have enough rhythm/coordination for most videos!

Today's update:

2 mi Walk Away the Pounds

750 - 30 = 720

been away from the board for a couple of days, so here's what i've done so far:

846 minutes - (1/10) 45 min cardio and (1/11) 45 min cardio=756.

hitting the road for work, so i probably won't post again until tuesday. i plan on doing some sort of exercise video at home today. tomorrow will probably be no exercise...in a mediation for most of the day, and then driving for about four hours.

nettie, thanks for the support. it's coming off slowly, but it is coming off!

Here are my totals from the weekend.

460 - 60 = 400


SkyBlue, I have the same problem with most tapes, doing grapevine, box, grapevine, I'm just a klutz. I was suprised about the WAP tapes, I truly thought that they would be to easy and they aren't.

Finally I got my butt outside:

930-60 minutes walking=870 left to go....b-r-r-r-r-h, it's freezing in NJ!!

I really didn't want to get out of bed and go to the gym today but I knew I had to get some minutes in if I'm going to meet my goal for this challenge. So I dragged myself up and out and now I feel great. This challenge really helps.

10 min - warmup elliptical
60 min - Body Pump class

Anyone that would like to join our group, just post the minutes that you pledge up to and including January 31st. You do not have to wait until February to join. This is a great tool to help us maintain and increase our exercise programs.

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Semo, I'm sorry you have to keep adjusting my times. But seems like even when I get on here 1st thing Mon. am you have already posted. It must be the time difference.

Jan 10- 45 mins treadmill
Jan 11-45 mins treadmill

No time for Sun., but worked in the garden for 3 hours. (I know that sounds silly to all you cold-county girls, but it has been 70 degrees here for the last week!)

860-90=770

Flying Fit, I changed your total, guess I get a little over anxious sometimes. Usually, work is a little slow in the mornings and I had time to do it first thing. This is my slow time of the year so I'm looking for stuff to do. I'll give you more time in the future I promise. There are others that haven't posted, so I'll get those totals updated when I get them.

Got my new exercise tape today so I'm going to try it when I get home. Getting a little tired of the same thing/tape. I'm always looking to change up my routine, keeps me interested. One of these days I'll run across one that will make me beautiful and slim and trim. :D

Hi ladies,

I've been on a one week hiatus w/ exercise, but i'm back now! I manage to do 60mins upperbody this morning.

Nettie, I notice that you asked a O/T questions about eating plans? Well I just started Atkins induction today. It's pretty cool.

luv
Kayla

Kayla, you little rascal :dance: I'm so happy to hear from you. Here's a big 'ol :chockiss: make that two :chockiss: You better get back over there and say hi to the rest of the gang. Boot Camp thread. We thought you had dump us for sure. And sure you can get in on this thread.

Hi to all! Got my new tape in yesterday and I can feel muscles that I didn't know I had. OMG it was intense, even the top part of my arms, between my wrist and elbow, feels the effect. Doesn't really hurt just, now I know that their there. Guess that's good tho.

Monday, Jan. 13th

400 - 30 = 370

Hi all!

Hey Semo, what tape did you get? Maybe I missed this in an earlier post.

Jan 13-60 mins treadmill

770-60=710

There is some real interesting stuff in Newsweek (I read it on the internet, but I guess it's in the magazine too) about the failure of the food pyramid, exercise, core conditioning, vitimins, ect. Check it out if you have time.

Hi Flying Fit, the name of my tape is Ball Force by Michael Carson. It came with a ball that you use with the exercises. Very good for the waistline/core muscles. It was every bit as hard as TaeBoe, or at least I thought so. Going back to WAP tonight then Ball Force every other day. Results are right around the corner!;)

here's my latest: 756 minutes - 25 min. cardio (1/12) - 45 min cardio (1/14) - 50 min yoga (1/14) = 636

didn't get any exercise in yesterday because i was on the road. i should have my normal workouts for the next couple of days, then i hit the road again and exercise becomes more of a challenge. it's great to see that people are staying so motivated and those totals keep moving!

Hi all! Last week was bad, but I'm back on track now.

For Mon. and Tues.....

540-50=490

Today's exercise:

590 - 20 (treadmill) - 60 (Body Flow class) = 510

Almost halfway there!

Good Morning Ladies, well here it is January 15th already. We're half way through this month, lets not lose our engery. If you haven't been exercising just jump in and complete the month. Don't try to play catch up, just start where you are and feel good about getting started. This is a personal achievement... just for you and no one else. So 'come on, no time better than the present to get going.

Okay here's my total for Tuesday, January 14th.

370 - 45 = 325

636-45 min cardio = 591

not too shabby for half a month if i do say so myself. planning on doing the 90 minute yoga class tonight, but i won't post until i actually go...so i may have a big update tomorrow. trying to front load some of my exercise minutes this month as i'll be traveling a good bit in the next couple of weeks. heading out of town on saturday, and won't be back until wednesday. should be able to get some exercise in, but not up to my usual.

Way to go Ginga! I just noticed that your from Nashville, my oldest son lives there..... I love that area. Do you travel with your job?

Hey Girls!

Hi,

I managed to do 30mins cardio this morning. I'm so grateful for this challenge, if it was for this challenge I wouldn't have done half the minutes i've put in already!

Semo, your doing a Feb one right? lol

Kathy
900/280/620

still snowbound, so no regular routine. did shovel snow for about 20 minutes though, so i'll count that as cardio

501 min- 20 snow shoveling = 441

575-120=455

It's too cold to walk outside and my house is full of plants so I can't exercise with my video can I?? Any ol' excuse will do. Shame on me-I'll try to do a little before I go to bed tonight.

Did 30 min. upper body today. Was aiming for cardio as well but my legs and abs still hurt from yesterday.

410 - 30 = 380

455-40=415

While all you girls are freezing, I don't know what's going on here, but it was 77 degrees yesterday and beautiful. And I guess it's supposed to stay that way all week!

365-60=305

Did anyone see the Body Challenge on Discovery Health Channel last week? They had one last year also. It's like a reality show where 3 men and 3 women compete to get fit. They have a weigh in every 2 weeks, and they give them a nutritionist and
a trainer. If you haven't seen it, try to catch it. I think it's on Thurs.

441 minutes - 20 minutes toning (1/19) - 90 minutes yoga (1/22) = 331 minutes

been out of computer range for a couple of days. exercise was pretty much non-existant over the weekend...but i like to take some time off every once in a while when i've been working really hard at the gym. will have to stay stellar this next week or so to reach my minute goal, but i should be able to do it. it's back to my normal routine tomorrow with 45 minutes of cardio and a lunch-time yoga session

Hi everyone!

I managed to get up this morning and do 40mins cardio

510-40=470left

900/430/470left

870-35 minutes Execercise tape=835 to go.

Finally was getting so stiff and cricky I had to start up again...four weeks off exercise and I felt like crappola...decided even in this horribly cold weather we are having in NJ I can certainly do my tape until it gets warmer.

Besides you all put me to shame..especially my pal Semo..aka Wonder Woman!

Hi all!

DNW glad to see you back!

Good Morning Ladies, I'm reporting 30 minutes for Thur, Jan 23rd.

I haven't posted any of my exercise for this week. I didn't do too much exercise this week either.

Tues, 21st: 380 min - 20 min. brisk walk (Very brisk; it was -39 C with the wind chill) = 360 min

Sat, 25th: 360 min - 50 min 1 mi & 2 mi WATP = 310 min

6 days left to do 310 min. It's going to be tight but I think I can do it.

Good Monday Morning!

Jan 25-Firm tape-43 mins.
Jan 26-Treadmill-45 mins.

230-88=142

That should be no problem with 5 days to go.

I hope everyone is planning on a new challenge for Feb. I am really looking forward to it.

45 min for Saturday

165 - 45 = 120

I'll update the weekly total this afternoon or first thing in the morning. January 31st is this Friday girls, so be thinking and calculating your pledges for next month. The new challenge starts on Saturday so lets get ready. I'll start the February challenge by this Friday so everyone will have a chance to sign up and be ready to start on Saturday. I'm thrilled that we are staying with this and before long it will just become second nature. (((huz)))

255-80=175 minutes left to go and how many days? 4 I think . That would mean approximately 44 mins per day

Hi everyone,

I managed to do 70mins weights on Sun!

410-70=340left

I am coming down w/ a bad cold, so I don't know if i'm going to be able to make my minutes, but i'll surely try.

I'm looking forward to next months challenge!

Have a great day everyone!

Semo, you and i have different totals. Your's is probably the accurate one. :) So i'll use it.

Hi all,

I'm happy to see everyone's doing well w/ their minutes this month! I really thought I was going to do better but I kept getting sick this month.

I don't think i'll be able to do any type of workout this week, i'm so sick I feel like a truck has run over me! lol

Congrats to all who are almost done, and here's a little encouragement to those of you who are still trying!

I'll try to do a little something if i'm able.

I'm also looking forward to February's challange, hopefully i'll be in better health.

Gringa, I did not include your minutes from Monday, Jan 27th. And I did this at home with a hand held calculator, so I could very well have made a mistake. Anytime I'm wrong just speak up, it won't hurt my feelings at all. (did I tell you that I'm blonde!):dizzy:

Jan 28th - 30 min

75 - 30 = 45

KitKat: you hang in there and get well, we don't want any punies around here. Your body is going through enough right now and we want ya strong.

duh. semo, us redheads aren't much better. just went back and saw that your post was only through sunday.

so assuming that my original total was right, that makes -39 - 45 min cardio (1/28) - 90 min yoga (1/28) - 90 min yoga (1/29) = -264 (I think)

have been hitting yoga hard and heavy the last week or so.

Good Morning. We are having no winter here in Phoenix. It has been 75 or better for weeks, and it was 82 on Monday. That's great for now, but it's not helping the drought we are having. And I see everyone else is freezing under a huge blanket of snow.
No wonder you are sick, KitKat. Maybe you need an AZ vacation.
I hear the weather has been particularly bad in NY. Hope you feel better soon.

Jan 28-30 mins. elliptical/30 mins weight machines

97-60=37 mins

I should be able to finish this today with time to spare!

175 -80=95 left to go.
