well ive been gone for a good while. im not even sure how long. dont know who remembers me. but thought i'd join in on the rest of this month's thread, if no one minds. and hello to all. my personal goal is 250 minutes.

ThisGirlsLosing 05-13-2006 08:26 PM

Hello Everyone!

Well, I have not posted since my post here on Monday but I have been working out! I did skip my weight traning this week - Tuesday, depression; Thursday I woke up with a BAD shoulder and there was no way I was going to put myself through weight training. So, I stretched a lot and did my bike instead.

My totals:
WED - 60 bike
THURSDAY - 35 bike
SAT - 70 bike
SAT - 90 dance class

That's 225 minutes that I have not posted yet.

Group Total = 5847 + 225 = 6072


Tomorrow morning I am biking in the morning, then I'm going hiking in the afternoon. I'm thrilled.

melissd1 05-14-2006 12:19 AM

Today my husband and me took my son to the Mall and walked our feet off! We walked 120 minutes at a slow pace...besides doing some shopping. My feet are sore because I wore sandals.

So our new total is:Group Total = 6072 + 120 = 6192!!!!

Xena2005 05-14-2006 11:09 AM

Walked the dog 45 minutes this morning.

GROUP TOTAL 6192 + 45 = 6237

Heather 05-14-2006 01:53 PM

Did the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life starting around 2 something this morning. According to my pedometer, I had 101 minutes of aerobic activity (at least 10 min at a time) -- though 84 minutes of that was continuous!

We are cruising! And welcome back extrinsic rapture!

So, group total ~ 6237 + 101 = 6338 minutes!

toofatforu 05-14-2006 02:48 PM

group total 6638+60 =6398

kayleystar 05-14-2006 03:39 PM

Did 15 minutes on Friday (cardio). Today, I did 10 mins of the buns & thighs workout...I was DRENCHED...lol. Then, I did 10 minutes of the arms & shoulders. You wouldn't think 20 minutes would be THAT hard...but the dvd I've got really kicks your butt! :) hehe. If it's not raining, I'd like to go walking later, but we'll just have to see how the weather is when the time comes. I've started to do facial exercises, too...while I'm watching TV or sitting here at the computer, so that maybe it'll help the double chin go down quicker. Not going to count those minutes, cuz that's not strenuous...hehe.

6398+35=6433

ZedAus 05-14-2006 07:14 PM

Well, the weather isn't too pleasant today, and I'm not keen on walking in the rain, so I don't think I'll be walking to and from school, or walking laps with the kids. So I can probably post my mins for today already, as that could be it for the day. I'm resting from afternoon exercising, (as per doctor's orders) except for the walk home from work.

Sunday - 60 min walk with hubby. Poor guy! I truly didn't plan on walking that fast, but I am just so used to it now that I don't realise when I am speeding up. He fell behind after a while and said he couldn't keep up the pace, so I slowed down. Near the end he seemed to be limping a little and said his hip was sore. Seeing as we had pretty much finished an hour already, we just 'strolled' for the last 5 or 10 mins. I felt SO bad. I obviously pushed him too much, but I didn't mean to.

Monday - 30 mins on treadmill (13 mins walking at 4.8mph and 17 mins jogging at between 5.4mph and 6.3mph)

Personal Goal... 930 - 90 = 840 mins left of May's goal of 1800

Group Total... 6433 + 90 = 6523

:carrot: The weekend is looking pretty good so far, as far as movin' and groovin' goes.:carrot:

Take care,:hug:

ThisGirlsLosing 05-14-2006 10:54 PM

Well, I did 56 minutes on the bike today. Was going to go hiking but my knee was sore from dance class yesterday and thought better not to push myself.

Group Total: 6523 + 56 = 6579

If I am to make my goal: 1440 minutes of cardio, I need to do 360 minutes per week. As we are finishing the second week in May, I should have done 720 minutes already. At 726 minutes done so far, I'm right on target. Gotta love budgeting minutes! ROFL

My weight training, on the other hand, is suffering. I should have done 120 minutes and so far I've done only 60. My goal for the next two weeks is to do 3 sessions per week instead of two, so that I can catch up. Wish me luck!

kayleystar 05-15-2006 12:03 AM

Went for a walk, but only for 10 minutes, as it started to RAIN on us! Came back here, and did another 10 mins of Buns &Thighs! Whew!

6579+20+6599

azcyn 05-15-2006 12:23 AM

Evening Ladies...Well for Mother's Day we went to the pool! YEAH!! All though I was there 2 1/2 hours..playing with my kids and chasing my 5 yr old nephew around..I am only counting the time my hubby took my nephew to the little kids pool and I did 15 min of laps in the pool and 15 cardio workout. I LOVE THE POOL!! Kepps ya cool and I have such a range of motion.

My total 235 + 30 = 265

Group Total 6599 + 30 = 6629


I am off to go nighty night!

melissd1 05-15-2006 01:08 AM

No excerise for me to tell of today. I did walk while shopping, but am not going to count it as I didn't keep track. Its just been an upsetting day for me.

ZedAus 05-15-2006 08:41 AM

I felt bad about not walking to and from school, so I did 20 mins of aerobics with the kids this morning for Daily Fitness. We had a ball!!! I put on some 60s songs and we were just "movin' and groovin'" to our hearts' content. I even got the suggestion that we do this every time it rains. My poor student teacher is sure I am trying to kill her I think. One of our deputy principals came to join us for a little while, but we were a little too 'active' for her.

I won't be exercising tomorrow because I had a little bit of surgery on my back today and have 8 stitches (details in main thread), and it shouldn't be 'jiggled' for a couple of days.

Personal Goal... 840 - 20 = 860 mins left of May's goal of 1800

Group Total... 6629 + 20 = 6649

I should be adding some more minutes in a couple of days.:carrot:

Take care,:hug:

Xena2005 05-15-2006 09:32 PM

Did my 20 minute WATP DVD this morning and my 50 minute balance ball DVD this evening putting me at 225/600 for May. Still a little behind, but am trying to catch up!

GROUP TOTAL 6749 + 70 = 6819

corecerro 05-16-2006 01:24 AM

Well my baby is sick (again! Eek!) so I didnt get to exercise . . . until tonight. I am so proud I cant tell you. I was covered in snot, tired from all the baby comforting...but he went to sleep. Hubby went to sleep and I did my aerobics. 30 minutes :) You all make me look lazy doing all you do, but I am just starting. I am way too busy to do exercise on the weekends so I am trying to do 30 minutes a day weekdays. so:

60/300 for me (I just joined)
6849/10,000 for the group

Cerro

Extrinsic Rapture 05-16-2006 03:22 AM

Finally got to back to exercising...hopefully this thread will keep me focused on moving more instead of moping... Did some bellydancing/kickboxing so...

20/250 for me
6849+20= 6869 Group total

~Rosey~

NoLifeWithoutHorses 05-16-2006 03:38 AM

Hi all - I've been MOA - Missing & Outa Action - but here I am again... just like a bad penny. Put me down for 30 minutes please.

30 + 6869 = 6899

toofatforu 05-16-2006 11:43 AM

6899+60=6959

NotTheCheat 05-16-2006 12:26 PM

On Friday I just got in my minimum 10 minutes inbetween all the packing and prepping. For the trip, I am using a pedometer. I haven’t been tracking time, but I am going to assume that a mile takes me 25 minutes. So here is what I have walked so far:

Saturday - 2.28 miles
Sunday - 3.58 miles
Monday - 3.13 miles

So total for all that including Friday is 235 minutes, which brings my total to 706.

The group total is now 6959 + 235 = 7194

melissd1 05-16-2006 01:34 PM

monday 55 minutes walking, 5 minutes jog, 20 minutes night walk = 80 minutes

7194 + 80 = 7274

Bryttani18 05-16-2006 01:43 PM

40 min of cardio today

group total=7274 + 40=7314

kayleystar 05-16-2006 06:03 PM

60 mins Mall walking (since the weather was super crappy) today, at a very good pace.

7314+60=7374

ZedAus 05-16-2006 06:51 PM

Following doctor's orders, to not exercise for a couple of days due to the stitches, I only walked to and from school yesterday. So that's 20 mins.

I'm not going to change my original goal, because I'd like to see how close I get to it, even though I'm not expecting to meet it this month. There has been a good reason for me not exercising as much and I am happy that I am following 'orders'.

I am VERY impressed with how much some of you are working out. I wonder if any of you have kept a record to see how much you've improved. I've got a table in Word, where I have the days of the month and each activity, so I can keep track. I can clearly see that my time has decreased drastically, but as long as I keep entering SOMETHING on a regular basis I am happy with myself.

Personal Goal... 840 - 20 = 820 mins left of May's goal of 1800

Group Total... 7374 + 20 = 7394

:carrot: Keep up all that moving everyone!:carrot:

Take care,:hug:

Zelma

Xena2005 05-16-2006 07:54 PM

Did my 20 WATP DVD and did 25 minutes of upper body strength training putting me at 270/600 for the month.


GROUP TOTAL 7394 + 45 = 7439

kayleystar 05-16-2006 08:46 PM

Went out for a quick bike ride with Mom this evening, as it was starting to get chilly, so didn't stay out as long as we would have liked to.

15+7394=7409

voodoo1 05-17-2006 04:23 AM

Hi, I'm back, add 120 mins for me.
Group Total 7409+120=7529!!:carrot:

Group Total 7529 + 20 = 7549

toofatforu 05-17-2006 10:03 AM

group total 7549 +60= 7609

KristasMom 05-17-2006 01:48 PM

Work has been insane, so I haven't gotten in all the exercise that I wanted, but still:

275 + 110 2 Water aerobics classes = 385

+ 30 mins of river walking = 415

+ 30 mins of weight lifting and aerobics = 475

I may not make my goal this month, but I'm going to keep trying!

Sue

Group total = 4799

kayleystar 05-17-2006 03:50 PM

It's been quite a calorie burnin' day today!
  • 20 minute bike ride
  • 15 minutes walking
  • 35 minutes push-mowing (walking)
  • 20 minutes of cardio dance
Also got in about 40 minutes of gardening, but I'm not going to count that into my total as my heart rate wasn't UP the whole time, unlike with the rest. It was a gorgeous day out today, and we took full advantage of it (see main thread)

90 mins total today...:carrot:

Our total is now 8174!!!! (Miscalculations on the last post, but I fixed them)

And brings me to 620 out of 800 minutes so far this month!
Let's keep moving, ladies!!!!

dogpal 05-17-2006 06:33 PM

Hi guys,

I just got back from Curves! So. 8174 Group + my 30 minutes is: 8204 New Group Total. Good Job you guys.

Extrinsic Rapture 05-17-2006 09:13 PM

Did 50 minutes of Biggest Loser DVD (Cardio then Weight Training)
Personal Total: 70/250
Group Total: 8204 + 50= 8254

Heather 05-17-2006 10:53 PM

Wow, we're cruising! I've been so busy at work and exercise is suffering, but I did get to the gym tonight for weight training -- 25 min. I'm a little behind for the month, but I'm not giving up yet.

We've got a lot of new people here and I'm finding it's sometimes hard to see the minutes people are adding to the total. When you add to the group minutes, it would be great if you could show the old minutes, what you're adding and the new minutes. Helps us to catch each others errors, among other things. Thanks!

Group total ~ 8254 + 25 = 8279 minutes

KristasMom 05-17-2006 11:13 PM

Now, what I did today

20 mins on bike = 10 walking

Personal total: 505

Group total: 8279 + 30 = 8309

voodoo1 05-18-2006 04:01 AM

Hi, add 20 mins on my bike, 60 mins walking FAST & 30 mins exercises for me over the last couple of days.
GROUP TOTAL 8309+110=8419

melissd1 05-18-2006 05:03 AM

Tuesday 60 minutes walking
Wednesday 60 minutes walking
