We are going strong, and welcome to our new members! Just set your goals and add your minutes! As for me, just my 10 min of back exercises yesterday. Not hard or anything, but I know I need to get in the habit of it, so this gets me there.

Group total 6111 + 10 + 6211 !! minutes WE HAVE DONE OVER 100 HOURS (6K min) of EXERCISE!!!!!!

I think wyllenn meant to say 6121;) Plus my 45 mins=6166 mins!!!!:carrot: Keep it up!

Hi Everyone :wave:

I went to the gym today--YAY--I worked out for 90 minutes. So that makes our group total:

6166 + 90 = 6256.

WOW! We are really racking up the exercise! :bravo:

Hi guys,

Finally exercising. I did 60 minutes so Group total of 6255 + 60 = 6315 New Group total.
You guys are awesome!

hey guys :)

I am on my way out the door to the pool and had some time while waiting for my drive. Thought I would add the time first ( cause I am going! although I had to have my butt kicked there tonight *L*)

Personal total ~ 245-60 = 185 minutes to go! ( goal 800 minutes for Feb.)

300+ total ~6315+60 + 6375 minutes!!!!

LovelyLatina -- Glad you had my back there- thanks for catching that error! Guess it was wishful thinking!

Did a nice walk with both pups this evening -- only 15 minutes but I'll take it! And I'm halfway to my monthly goal. So, let me try this again:

6375+15=6390 minutes (is that right?)

Well, I got in 28 minutes of my dance dvd today! :)

6390+28=6418

Sun.--60 mins(30 cardio, 30 ball workout)

Mon--30 mins cardio

Tue--15 mins (tried working out too soon after I ate and got sick)

Brings my personal total to 615

Group Total= 6418 + 105 = 6523

Once again, I am VERY proud of myself. I have been feeling ROTTEN today. Nobody warned me about all of the 'wonderful' things that come with TOM. I don't suppose anyone thought they would need to say anything, but I have never had regular periods and for much of my life didn't even have a period at all because of my weight. So I am really not used to the little things that decide to accompany this event. Today I have had the most awful backache almost all day. Spent most of the time at school with a heat pack against it. Even pain killers didn't really do anything. I didn't connect the pain to my period until a number of people said that they got back pain with their periods. I learn something new every day!

Anyway, even with the pain, I decided I was not going to give up on the exercise. I just worked for longer on the treadmill at a lower speed (around 4.5mph) then this afternoon I worked longer on the bike at a pretty good speed to make up for the bread I have been devouring during the day. I am NOT used to these cravings either. For the past year I have hardly had any cravings at all, so this is quite frustrating.

So... 50 mins on treadmill in morning and 50 mins on bike in evening.

Personal Goal... 790 - 100 = 690

Group Total... 6523 + 100 = 6623

:carrot: Hope everyone is finding some time to get moving.:carrot:

Take care,:hug:

Okay, I just got home from the gym and I did another 90 minutes. YAY!:cb: So that makes our new group total:

6623 + 90 = 6713 minutes.

I was also really proud of myself yesterday. I started out by getting back on the ellipitcal for 5 minutes. I think I really need to be keeping at it since I really feel it in the upper thighs, which should help me with my stairs issues (still having knee pains on stairs). I then did 30 mintues + 5 cool down on the treadmill.

The thing was, that after 10 minutes I felt ready to call it a night. I have an agreement with myself that all I need to do is a minumum of 10 minutes and if I want to stop after that I can. However, I decided to keep going, as a Valentine's gift to myself. So not only did I keep going, but at the end I upped the speed to 2.5 (I am currently at about 2.2 keeping my heartrate around 140) for the last 5 minutes and worked extra hard. Now I just need to figure out how to add in some more strength training into my routine. So my personal total is now 485.

The group total is 6713 + 40 = 6753!

Hi everyone

I'm not feeling well today so I only managed 15 min walking but it was down by the ocean so it was nice :)

Nancy ~ Congratulations on stepping up your workout! And also for going that extra time when you didn't feel up to it!

Personal total ~ 185-15= 170 minutes left to go !

300+ total ~ 6753+15= 6768 minutes AMAZING!!!

Night girls :wave:

I had an excellent walk on the treadmill tonight-- 47 minute with great music. I'm finally feeling much better! So,

300+ total ~ 6768+47= 6815 minutes!!

I did 5 minutes on the ellipitcal and 35 minutes on the treadmill again today. Today I stepped it up at the end by adding an incline for the last 5 minutes. That brings my total to 525.

The group total is 6815 + 40 = 6855!

I did 60 mins (4 miles walking with DVD workout) and a few odd mins of dumbells but I'm not counting them because I didn't take the time on them. That brings my personal total to 675...I think I'm going to miss my goal...sighs.

Group Total=6855+60=6915
