Exercise Journals!
 

I have been keeping a walking journal now since January 2002 so I thought I would start up a threat called Exercise Journals.

For myself I will record here the following
When I go walking with my hubby -- the date and miles
When hubby is working I will be walking to a Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies tape.

Anyone else up to keeping a record = making a commitment to exercise min. of 3 times per week? Try recording it -- it will surprise you just how much you do accomplish when you see it in writing.

Walking update as of September 16/03
 

I never was much of a walker before -- always found ways to get out of it -- but I sure do enjoy it now.

Anyway here is what my chart looks like as of Tuesday September 16/03 by 9am

January 2 2002 to May 25 2003 = 575 miles

May 25 2003 to July 10 2003 = no walking as I was having radiation treatment due to the return of cancer

July 11 2003 till July 31 2003 = 12.25 miles for the month making my grand total 587.25 miles

August 2003 = 27.25 miles for the month making my grand total 614.50 miles

September 2003 (till the 16th) = 9.50 miles for the month so far making for a total of 624 miles.

Goal is to make 700 miles by the middle of December 2003!

My goal is to walk each day when hubby is home and when he is out to work in the morning to walk to a Richard Simmons tape. Today we were able to go for our walk.

So this is how my chart looks now

January 2 2002 to May 25 2003 = 575 miles

May 25 2003 to July 10 2003 = no walking as I was having radiation treatment due to the return of cancer

July 11 2003 till July 31 2003 = 12.25 miles for the month making my grand total 587.25 miles

August 2003 = 27.25 miles for the month making my grand total 614.50 miles

September 2003 (till the 17th) = 11 miles for the month making my grand total 625.50 miles

Goal is to hit 700 miles in mid December 2003

This is what my chart now looks like as of Thursday September 18 2003

Sept 15/03 1.50 miles for the day = 622.75 miles

Sept 16/03 1.50 miles for the day 9.50 miles for the month = 624.25 miles

Another 1.25 miles walked!!
 

Did my walk again -- did 1.25 miles today so my total is now 628 -- am getting close to my next goal of 650!!

did the tape today
 

Walking to the tape is difficult for me to get into -- don't know why but it is .

But my goal is to walk every day and as the Rec Plex was closed today I had to use the tape.

It was the Sweating to the Oldies #1 which is 45 minutes long but I walked to it for 30 minutes. So far I have done some exercise each day this week -- 30 minutes each day since Monday.

Marilyn

Sprout, you're doing a great job and are very motivating!! Keep up the amazing work!!

Walking update!
 

Still walking.
I made a commitment to myself on September 14 that every day I would do some sort of exercise for 30 minutes.

As of today, September 24, I can say that I have been true to that committment. I have walked 30 minutes each day but one and on that one I walked for 30 minutes to Sweating to the Oldies #1.

My total miles walked as of today is 632.50 miles!! My next goal is 650 miles so I am very close.

September 26 2003 update on walking
 

Well I have added more miles to my chart.

As of today, September 26, 2003, I have now walked 634 miles.
Next goal is to have reached 650 so I am just about there.

The goal for the year is to have walked 700 miles -- and I am going to make it!

Marilyn;)

That is a good idea maybe on new years i will start logging my miles walked for exercise to see how far i have walked in a year.

Walked again
 

Went for a walk today but just a small one -- only 1/2 a mile.

So my total is now 634.5 miles!!
