I would like to join the mileage goal for the month. I found a ticker (see below ;-)
where do you get the labor day and Christmas challenge thingies?
I am wondering if I can do mileage with spinning or rebounding, or if it is just for walking/running or how that works? How do you keep track of mileage if you have a mileage goal?
thanks!
Did I post this to the wrong group?
sorry :-(

wantingto - there is a thread for 50 miles or more per month...you can post that info there....or you can do it here....part of the August bootcamp is you gotta have goals like for exercise and weight loss and stuff...so if 50 miles in a month is your goal you could definately post it here....Although I think 50 miles for the month of August is a bit much if you are just getting started.....
As far as the 50 miles or more thread...all milage counts....weither it is jog/run on treadmill or outside...or a bike...or an elliptical...etc etc
ok people again I am back! I had two wakes and two funerals in 3 days this week. I am just sorta now winding down from it. One was a very close family friend I grew up with him and his sister and cousins and the other was the exhubs grampa. So here I am back on track and going to work out tomorrow! I am scared to stand on the scale.
I know it takes 21 days to make something a habit well I will be starting back at day 1 tomorrow! So here I go falling asleep and getting awake early to go work out..
Well, I am still at 195.x. My goal was to be BELOW 195, but not quite there yet. Had a spotty Friday and Saturday, but today back on track. Did 20 minutes non--stop on treadmill as well as a few weights, then went to the yoga class, so got in my exercise today. Amazing how much better that makes me feel when I start the day out like that!
One more week, but I leave for 5 days to Vegas on Wednesday. Still I am planning working out everyday there, and swimming in pool, and not drinking (much) and making healthy food challenges. If fauxtini can go camping for 5 days without even a roasted marshmallow or s'more, I can also be fairly disciplined in Vegas. I plan on doing the 5K challenge on Labor Day when I get back--will post then if I hit my goal of being under 195!
Im doing ok exercise wise... But in other news.. I got the CALL! I am headed to montreal TOMORROW for my marriage visa interview! I will get to marry my Fiance ( on paper) before he is deployed! Miracles do happen! I will be busy for the next few weeks but hope to be online as much as I can. I want to stay on plan while im going through all of this of course.
In the next few weeks I will be traveling to montreal, New York, kansas and kentucky, finding apartments, GETTING MARRIED, changing my name, and spending every momemnt with my hubby to be before he is deployed! WOW. Once im settled I will have AMPLE 3FC time tho until I get a visa to work. Crazyness lies ahead.. but im excited/nervous. Who would have thought id have to have an interview with the govt to be allowed to marry an american?!
Sorry to the people who are on a few of the same threads as me.. i'm sort of just spreadig the word cause im excited! hehe
Congrats Faux!! I live in Kansas!! lol Well I'm glad it finally happened for you and I wish you and your hubby to be all the best in life!! My hubby is deploying in October I know how you feel! Hey if your stationed in Ft. Riley we should do lunch!!!
Okay so I'm back down to 204!! I take that as good news lol. But I hope to be down to 200 within the next week!! I CAN DO IT!! I know most of this is still from my birthday so I've been kind of sticking to veggies and fresh fruits the past couple of days and doing an hour of work outs, it seems to be doing the trick. Hopefully I can finish this challenge!!
