I'm going to post my results on the weekly challenge page, but put me down for exercising 6 out of 7 days, so that would be 25 days for May.

I'm slowly creeping back up towards 150.... I need to get back into full exercise mode again so I'm going for 1500 this month.

Also, I've gotten into a rut - all cardio, almost all walking. I need to get back into hooping, using my hand weights, and more wii fit strength this month.

5/1 - 45 mins
5/2 - 15 mins
5/3 - 40 mins


Total so far: 100 mins
