Hi, I'm relatively new to SBD. I started phase 1 last Wednesday and I'm already down 2 pounds. My fitness goals are to run 4 times a week, do strength training at least 2x a week, and bikram yoga.

chickadeee55 · 01-01-2012, 07:21 AM

I would like to exercise at least 4 times a week. That would be my goal and see where I can take it from there.

Oh yeah, I need a "New Attitude"!!

I am going to try one more time with a "minutes" goal (I was very successful with it in the past, then an injury cut back my incidental exercise significantly so I haven't come close recently). I'll see how it goes and may go to a "days" goal instead next month.

I haven't yet worked through what my actual plan is, but for now I'll say an hour of *anything*, including walking, yoga, running, weights, swimming, whatever...

Goal: 1860 minutes (avg. 1 hour/day)
Current: 360

Jan 1, 2012 - little bit of walking up/downhill - 30 min
3 - 60 min yoga
5 - 60 min yoga
6 - 60 min walking
7- ??? sooo sick

.........
17 - baaaaaack, 60 min yoga
19 - 60 min yoga
20 - 60 min walking
....... yeah, I never got back on board after the illness. Moving on to a good February!
