20 mins for me to add. 10 mins buns/thighs & 10 mins shoulders/arms/back from my dvd. that buns/thighs workout will KILL YA! LOL!!!
13,842 mins total!!! WOO!
Tonight I did 35 minutes on the treadmill, and this week I didn't let myself off the hook, but I did 30 minutes of weights while I was watching American Idol. That brings my total to 1270.
I did 40 mins today, 60 yesterday and 35 Monday. GROUP TOTAL 13962+135=14097!!!
I'm not bothering with my total for the month but APRIL'S GOAL=800 mins! keep it up!!

My thighs have been a little sore... well, not exactly sore, but I KNOW that they are there... and it took me until this evening to work out the reason why. I THINK it may have something to do with the 50 squats I did with the fit ball yesterday. When I first got the ball I had trouble doing even 10, but I haven't used it for a while and thought I would see how I went yesterday. I wasn't even feeling it after 50, but figured that it would be better to stop. Now I'm VERY glad that I did. I'm not really surprised that it took me so long to work out what was wrong with my thighs. I'm a slow learner at times. I could even be wrong about the cause, but it certainly sounds right to me.
Anyway... today I did 30 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins of laps with the kids and 40 mins on the bike. I went quite a bit slower to start on the bike, so did a bit longer to compensate.
Personal Goal... 195 + 85 = 280 over March goal (1980 mins for March so far)
Group Total... 14,097 + 85 = 14,182
Boy, are we movin' and groovin' or what?!!
I have decided that I may try to have a rest day from now on, to see how I go. I've been getting tired again and don't know if it is the exercising, or just the end of term. I don't think I'm over exercising by any means at the moment, but then again, I didn't think I was doing anything wrong before either. I'm thinking that Friday would be a good rest day because I am usually tired from the end of the working week and I enjoy getting out and walking over the weekends, so don't want to bother making Saturday or Sunday a rest day. We'll have to see how I go, because it is possible I will just feel too guilty and won't even have a rest day. Perhaps just a rest 'afternoon' if I am tired after work.
Zelma FWIW, I've always been told that you should work out five days a week and have two breaks. Of course, they were telling that to a 300 lb woman who was out of shape. Maybe it's not so bad to work out so much when you are already in shape. Clearly, you've done something right!
Did 22 minutes last night (12 on the elip and 10 stretches)
Personal goal 600 - 312 = 288 to go (At least I made it over the 1/2 way mark!)
Well, I have been weighing myself almost every day and it isn't looking good. For some reason the scale is being difficult. I have started to feel that "why bother" feeling slipping in, so I felt like I needed to do something to steal myself for my weigh in tomorrow. I may not see movement on the scale, but I am definitely seeing the difference in my fitness. Tonight I made it 20 minutes on the elliptical and then 40 minutes on the treadmill. I kept my bpm at 140 for almost the entire time - I worked REALLY hard. One whole hour of intense cardio - I feel so proud of myself right now. And it doesn't matter one bit what happens tomorrow morning, because I am ending this month with a bang! This brings my personal total to 1330.
nancy -- I know exactly what you mean about the stupid scale. I am really trying to take my focus off the scale and put it ON these other victories. This is about my health, and that does not just mean my weight!
You're ROCKING the exercise these days, and that is surely something to celebrate. Your scale will figure that out eventually and will be FORCED to capitulate!!
ok..lets see walked 30 min today..and 15 yesterday...add that to my total of 105 + 30 + 15 = 155 min I dont think I will meet my goal of 300 BUT I am ok with that..did I mention my feet hurt?? lol see ya cchickes later
Well, I'm having a HARD week. Not sure what triggered it, but I started binging on Sunday afternoon and I just barely stopped today. My body and my spirit feel ALMOST defeated.
I skipped my work out this morning cuz I needed the extra sleep. Did 30 min on my bike this eve after work. Only 120 min to my goal - 2 days, 60 min each. I hope I can do it...right now things feel extraordinarily hard.
I feel so good. 
We're doing pretty darn tootin' good if you ask me. 
Have a nice day ladies.
