This week has been so hard to get out...well no excuses.

I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and 60 minutes weights and functional training yesterday.

Group total: 1,804 + 80 = 1,884

I don't want to give up on my goal of working up to 45 min/day by the end of 2008. So starting tomorrow (Sat.) I'm going to go for 15 min/day of intentional exercise (DVDs or outdoor walking, depending on weather). That makes 360 minutes by the end of March.

I found a great beginning workout with dumbbells for my bicep/triceps, and then another routine for my glutes, hamstring, hips (saddlebags too!), & calves. It takes me about 6mins to run through them all! I did this yesterday & today! Plan to do this each morning and night! I need to walk today! all this snow just wants me to curl up with a blanket & book!

Vortex- Tried to send you a msg but couldn't find the button on your name.....sorry bout posting here guys...

I just scrolled through Discovery Health channels On Demand freebies and there was a guy on one that showed you a couple of good arm movements and said to start out with 3 sets of 15 reps and increase reps by 5 and then increase weight size as needed. Same with the leg movements I have chosen ones that will work my problem areas. I do same sets/reps & can add ankle weights. I do them to my own music on my IPOD

Hi all - kinda dropped off the map with my crazy week!

Hi guys,

This is the first time I've posted on this March Thread. My weekly exercise for this past week is 348 + 2,266 former Group total = 2,614 New Group total.

Well I up my weights & leg exercise so that I do 10 mins of that. Today I walked on the treadmill, did my mile.....with 3-30sec jogs, 2-1min jogs finished in 24mins so I thought what the heck make it an even 30 so I did 6 more mins cooling down to a podcast. Ended up doing 1.5 miles total!

Since I just started this serious weight loss thing yesterday, I am lagging! For me, any "real" exercise is an improvement. I pledge to 15 minutes a day between my thighmaster and dumbbells! Starting today. That's 15x22 days= 330 minutes by the end of the month.
I started using the "fit day" calculator yesterday also and was surprised at my # of calories. No wonder the weight just bounces up and down.
I have shown a great deal of will power though in the Girl Scout cookie department. I am a troop leader and have access to an unlimited an=mount of cookies. I usually down 15 boxes or so during the post-sale season. This year, I have only shared 4 boxes. I would say I have eaten total about 1 box. Also, today, my kids had earned a reward to go to ColdStone. I usually get the Love It size which is pretty big all for myself. Today however, I didn't get any for myself. Just so I wouldn't feel deprived, I had 1 bite from each of theirs' (only 2 of them) Go me!
