300+ Let's be Thankful for Exercise in November - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

WELCOME!!!

to the November exercise thread! We're making exercise a habit, giving ourselves some accountability, and getting healthier in the process!

In this thread, we track the number of MINUTES we exercise for the month -- whether it's walking or swimming or sweaty housework! Most of us set goals for ourselves (I personally will not exercise much without a goal). If you are a goal-setter, early in the month set your own goal! If you're just getting started, feel free to start with a smaller number of minutes (I did!), maybe just a few hundred. It seems easier for many of us to build on the habit rather than meet a very high goal right away. However, you can also just jump right in without a goal, and you can join us anytime in the month!

I had a horrible exercise month in oct. and the scales are showing it. I have started the pushup challenge and will do my pushups 3 times a week plus jump on the minitramp 3 days a week and hopefully add in some weight lifting.
I am shooting for 600 min.

My goal for November is 1200 minutes.

I need to get back on track and I am going to set an exercise goal this month: 1000 minutes. Setting goals has always been good for me as it seems to MAKE me exercise when I don't want to. So... BACK TO BASICS for me.

I am keeping my goal for November at 1500. I made my goal last month.

I will continue to report each Sunday for the week. So,
For this past week of November 1st and 2nd, I have 60 minutes to report.

Group Total so far: 60 minutes.

Heather · 11-03-2008, 07:39 AM

I got some exercise Sat and Sun and have 120 min to add!

Group total ~ 60 + 120 = 180 min

Jayme31 · 11-03-2008, 09:03 PM

Okay I am new here and you all are doing amazing!! Sad to say, i had to sit and calculate all the minutes to see how much everyone is doing!!!

I am setting my goal low,,, so that i can reach it

...

So, my november goal will be 800 minutes of some form of physical excercise

I am a few days late , but so far 25minutes / 800 minutes for the month, so far

I took a break from studying at the college yesterday and took a nice quick 30 min walk around. I wasn't going to count it as I usually only count stuff I have my heart rate monitor on for, but it was still exercise. And something I wouldn't have done in the past.

Oh, and no goal for the month. Depending on my school schedule I'm aiming for 3 days of lifting, 2 days of cardio each week. Test/project schedules may interfere with that.

Group total: 180 + 30 + 35(Jayme31's) = 245

RealCdn · 11-05-2008, 12:38 PM

70 mins strength training today

Group total: 245 + 70 = 315

NuevaVida · 11-05-2008, 01:04 PM

So far I've done 125 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes strength training for a total of 155 minutes done.

Group Total 315 + 155 = 470

Jayme31 · 11-07-2008, 02:51 PM

I am logging in with my total for the remainder of the week (minus the 25min i already reported) I did another 90 minutes worth of excercise!!

GROUP TOTAL=470+90=560

Oh my gosh!! You are all incredible. I can't seem to get off the couch. How can I get motivated to take my first step? I'm too tired to move.

Heather · 11-07-2008, 11:22 PM

Since my last post, I've only worked out twice -- 70 min and 30 min.

Group total ~ 560 + 100 = 660 min

Nanabanana710 · 11-09-2008, 08:10 AM

Only worked out twice?? 70 mins and 30? That's wonderful!! I would be jealous if it didn't take so much effort to be.. *S*

Nanabanana710 · 11-09-2008, 08:12 AM

I'm in day 4 of Cookie Diet. Coming here is somehow giving me the strength to keep trying. This morning I was here before tea or cookies. This got me out of bed!
