Dolphingirl and Manda -- I know what you mean. I got off track last week and still feel like I'm behind in exercise. I'm trying to catch up too. But I also know that this IS about making a habit and the more weeks I worry about this, the more weeks I'm making it a habit!
brandnewme -- You are getting there! 60 min twice this week!
Nancy -- Good for you for making use of that TV time!!
I decided to workout with the balanceball tonight. My physical therapist would approve! Felt like "cheating" somehow, because my notions of exercise have been walking and strength/weights (sporadic that last). But if I'm going to be a healthy person, I want -- no I need -- to get that in a couple times a week for my back. So I included it! 33 minutes to add so
Not up to formal exercise, I've felt so good I have overdone it and the backs of my thighs are sore so I will walk up town, lots of steep hilly bits (I live in Derbyshire, UK). Shopping and window shopping with Aiden in his buggy, pushing him up & down hills should work my upper body too!!!! it should be for 60 mins at least. 3176+60=3236 Aren't WE doing well?!!! :carrot

HI all! Just checking in REEEally fast from Oklahoma. Yesterday afternoon we were in South Carolina, and we're on our way to pick up a load gonig to Florida, so we're movin! But before that I had a morning with a full 60 minute walk, and I've worked in 15 minutes of stair-stepping on a curb while I was walking the dog, so...
Wyllen - I like walking in front of the TV. It makes the time go by faster. We watched Troy last night and it was a pretty long movie. Tonight I walked while during Battlestar Gallactica (one of my favorite shows).
I did 20 minutes, which makes my total 315. At this rate I will hit my initial goal of 350 by the 15th, so I guess I underestimated myself. That actually feels really good because normally I always set such high expectations for myself that I end up failing. Not that I want to low-ball myself either.
I'd love to join in on this thread. I hope it is OK to join mid-month.
I tend to walk on the treadmill for 40 mins every morning and then have a go on the exercise bike for 30+ mins every afternoon/evening, so hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the total every day.
I did both bouts of exercise today (plus walked around 3 shopping malls and the city centre, but I won't count them as we just 'strolled') so that is 75 mins for the day (35 on the bike).
Zelma -- You are absolutely welcome to join! Hopefully it can help you stay accountable too -- though it seems you really have the routine down (I am working on building one). How did your routine develop over time, if you don't mind me asking. Do you do any weights too?
Brenda -- How many days in a row now -- that's awesome?!!
I've been AWOL from 3FC this week -- lots of late nights -- but I have been to the gym twice for my strength (50 minutes) + aerobic (50 minutes) workout.
Welcome, Zelma!!! Hi everybody! Visited the Curves in Morrilton, Arkansas, this morning. Best workout since I banged up my ribs! Only 2 machines I still have to be careful of. Since it's been a while since I could really put some OOOmph into my strength training, I did some extra -
But I am on my way upstairs to have another go at it once I finish cleaning.
