Ok. I'm going to TRY/ATTEMPT to get more exercise in. I'm a slug and usually can find every excuse in the book NOT to exercise. So I'm going to start off slow....just the 1 mile WATP. DH questioned whether my back really was strong enough to do exercises so it was HIS idea to start slow. So that's where the "try/attempt" will come in....depending on my back.

Brenda- remember to stretch! Another method to strengthen your back, and is gentle is yoga. It is so easy on the body, and gets you into an unbelieveable flexable condition. It doesn't matter what size you are. Yoga really is for everyone! Glad your going to get moving. I really have been feeling better since getting of my bum and doing something.

Speaking of such - my accountability today: 3.5 miles on the track and then the other arrands that probably had me walking another 1/2 mile. So, I might be able to say 4 miles.

Now I have to go back out to Petco and the library because I forgot to while I was out. Shesh. I'm pooped.

Robin - Monday morning I'm with you. In fact, I may go to the gym for a short while tomorrow morning. I feel a lot better now.

I would like to join this thread. O.K.? I want to have to be accountable to someone that I am going to exercise everyday.
So starting tomorrow!!! I will make a point to exercise and then post!!!!
Good luck to everyone on this thread. Let's get moving.
A tip: First thing in the morning get dressed and put your shoes on. Leave your shoes on. You may need to get an indoor pair, but I swear, when you keep your shoes on you will want to keep moving. If you know flylady, you know were this is coming from!
Goodluck everyone

Well tomorrow is my trip back to the gym - so i'll post if I do my 3 miles. I am still motivated to drop this before we go on holiday. I crunched the numbers, and if I loose 2 pounds a week, i'll reack my goal right before we leave.

Welcome Nyree. Hope to see you post in the other areas!

Congrats on the weigh in Nyree!

Went to the gym and walked 4 miles on the track. It took 1 hour @ 1 mile per 15 minutes. Remember, i'm 4'11 so my strides not like the other tall ladies that pass me up, but to me the strides are good. LOL

Do it all again tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday girls!

Just got back from the gym, and I completed my 4 miles. Right now, i'm only doing the walking to get some of the bulk off, and will work on tightening up in a few weeks. Now if I could only get Andy to the gym.... *grins*
