chubbystress -- Yes, yes, welcome!!!

Zelma -- I'll take those 80 minutes!

As for me, I got in NO exercise yesterday :( and broke my exercise streak! I had done some kind of exercise EVERY DAY since May 25th (some days was just 10 min ab and back or 15 min walking the dogs).

I'm not that upset about the streak, as it was never something I was striving for. I just found that it was easier to keep up with my goals if I did something each day and it just went from there. So I am more upset that I am now behind by about a half hour! Luckily, it's early in the month! Ah well.

8,384 is the magic number!
 

I added Zelma's minutes to July,which changed the minutes needed to goal. We need 8384 minutes to reach our 100K goal!!!

Keep and eye out for it!! :)

I forgot to add my walk home from work on Wednesday, so I'm adding that 10 mins today... Hey, every minute counts huh?

Today I did 40 mins on the exercise bike and a 10 min walk to school.

Personal Goal... 1090 - 60 = 1030 mins left of August's goal of 1200

Group Total... 2090 + 60 = 2150

I'm hoping to get a couple of good walks in over the weekend, but not sure if the weather will oblige.

Take care,:hug:

Zelma

I did another 30 minutes last night and I forgot to add my 15 minutes to the group total so...

Group total is 2195

Personal total is 85

2195 plus yesterday's 45 = 2240

Personal: 135 / 1000

But I'm on my way to the gym so I may be back with an update!

Good job, everybody!

Love,
Celery

Back from the gym so I'm going to add another 45 minutes to the total before I forget:

Group: 2240 plus latest 45: 2285

Me: 180 / 1000

I'll give it a whirl. You girls are going to beat me on time hands down but I just paid off my last hospital bill and I'm not going to give them any more business so I'm starting at 30 minutes a day guananteed and a little more if I can handle it. So how about 800 minutes for the balance of August? You 1000 or more ladies are Olympians. Go for the gold and I'll bring up the rear. Every group need a turtle. I'll be late to the finish, but I promise to get there.

Everyone is doing so well! Wyelle n you will catch back up!!!! Today I did 55 minutes combined on treadmill, elipptical, and bike yippee skippee my total 180

Group total 2310 + 55=2365

Personal Total : 90 of 1000

Group Total : 2365 + 30 = 2395

today 54 minutes of aerobic walking
August total 314 (goal 1500)
Still to go = 1186

Group total 2395 + 54 = 2449

I figured yesterday's exertion would hurt me today, and it did. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes on the treadmill. That brings my total to 215.

The group total is now 2,449 + 35 = 2,484

Yesterday Swimming 60 minutes today swimming and playing 120 minutes + a really bad sun burn.

180+2,484=2664 Group total

Hi Again Ladies - Did some lower body exercises (calf raises), some yoga moves (warrior, tree, etc), and some stretching (calves, back, etc). Did 12 minutes worth - considering I already walked for an hour today I didn't think I needed to push it with exercises that I didn't even plan to do in the first place. Felt like giving a little lower body boost with some relaxation - but I still broke a sweat, yay!! :) So, totals now:

Personal Total: 249 + 12 = 261/310 - 49 minutes to go! Tee Hee! :lol:

Group Total: 2690 + 12 = 2702

Question For All: What's the most minutes you've accomplished in a month? :)

2702+180=2882
computer breakdown this week but i am back!

60 mins on the treadmill for me. Didn't manage to get a walk with hubby in.

Personal Goal... 1030 - 60 = 970 mins left of August's goal of 1200

Group Total... 2882 + 60 = 2942

I hope everyone finds time over the weekend to move just a little more than they normally would.:carrot:

Take care,:hug:

Zelma

Personal Total: 120 of 1000

Group Total: 2942 + 30 = 2972

So far this week I've gotten 120 minutes in. Not TOO bad for while I'm on the road.

120 + 2972 = ??? um, 3092 ?

Hi, ladies! You all are doing fantastic!

I got in 75 minutes last night at the gym. 45 cardio and 30 weight training.

Personal total: 230/1000

GROUP TOTAL: 75 + 3092 = 3167

Melissa: You're almost to your goal! At this rate, you're going to double it! :)

Harkeyvalley – welcome! However, I wouldn’t call 30 min a day a start – I think it’s quite ambitious – maybe too ambitious! I really had to work up to that. I think if you really are just starting out you may want to think about what is realistic for your body as well as how to fit in into your day. Also, can you go from nothing to committing to something every day? If you only work out 6 days a week, then to keep the 30 min average (out of 7 days) you actually have to put in a few more minutes each day to keep up. When you’re first starting out, this can be defeating.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We are all at different places here, and if you are just starting out you should not compare yourself to someone who has been exercising for a long while. When I started I could barely manage 400 minutes/month!!

I keep seeing people around here starting with really high numbers and many of them give up and leave! Please set goals appropriate for where you are now in your journey!

Vilandra – I think you set a GREAT first goal and boy won’t you be ecstatic when you crash through it!


As for me, after nothing on Thursday, I am redeeming myself. Yesterday was 55 min (30 min walk and 25 min lifting) and then hubby and I walked downtown and back (56 min)... so I can add 111 minutes!

Group total ~ 3167 + 111 = 3278 min!

Wow, lots of you have posted since I've been here! Great job! :woo:

80 minutes of water aerobics for me this morning
August total = 394
1500 goal - 394 = 1106 to go!

Group total 3278 + 80 = 3358

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Heather! :rofl: When I was adding mine and posting I thought now don't someone go beat me to it and I have to add them up again... and there you went and did it! :rofl: Tee hee so I posted this separately because I was afraid if I edited the other one it would happen again. :haha:

Thanks Wyllenn for the info. I thought I was being too lazy for less than 30minutes. I start on my stationary bike and go for 10 to 15 minutes, not to fast but steady. I move to the gazelle and I can only last about 10 minutes. I have a little trampoline about 4 Ft wide for exercise and I can bounce to music another 10 minutes and wind down on the stationary bike for 5 to 10 minutes. These times are flexible and are based on how I'm doing on each one as to how long I last. This way I don't use the same muscles the entire time and I'm don't get as tired as quickly. I'm feeling good about it. I have some oldie but goody jazzercise videos but I'm too embarassed to do them in front of my grandkids who I babysit weekdays. They are only 9, 9, 10 and I don't what them to see grandma's fat flying around the room scaring them to death. It might stunt their growth. I would even hate to see me doing it in the mirror. Isn't that oughful? How could a person let themselves get so fat that they are too embarassed to exercise, especially in front of loved ones? How did I let myself get this way? I don't know, but I do know that with the help of you great ladies (&men) I won't be fat anymore! This is the last diet I will ever go on. It's coming off and staying off, "So Help Me God"!

HarkeyValley, I know what you mean about having anyone see me exercise - YIKES! I still don't exercise in front of DH. It's a great step forward for me to have gotten in the motel pool today, for the first time in 15, 20, 25 ??? years!!

YES! I WENT SWIMMING!!! and I'm going to take credit as exercise because I made a point of moving the whole time. It was DEVINE!!

20 + 3358 = 3378

WTG Valerie! Hope I'll be there with you next summer.

I did 30 min. yesterday (all low intensity) and 25 today (15 of those on the ex. bike, where I'm trying to build up from only 10 min/day).

Personal total: 105/755 remaining

Group total: 3378 + 55 = 3433

5 min on elliptical
25 treadmill
20bike
Total 50 3358+ 50


Group Total 3408

I am so proud of everyone! We will do this!

Well for some reason didn't post correctly so must have jumped to next page.
Total should be group 3483

Know what you ladies mean about the swimming in public want to be able to do it so bad without feeling horrible about myself.

okay, friday's exercise was 1 hr. cleaning house and 20 min. on treadmill. today so far, is 33 min. elliptical and 12 min. bike. so total today and yesterday is 125 min.

2690+125=2815

ooops wrong page!!

gruop total 3639

Did another 10 mins on the exercise bike for a total of 404 minutes for August. Goal is 1500 so another 1096 to go. I will probably "up" my goal if we don't get any more waves of that super hot weather when I just could not do as much.

Group total 3639 + 10 = 3649

:carrot: just did 3 mile WATP tape and 20 min. abs, weights and stretching. so total of 65 min.

3649+65=3714

30 minutes at the gym plus a 45 minute walk = 75 for today

Group: 3358 plus my 75 = 3433

210 / 1000 is for me.

We have a lot of new people who aren't familiar with things around here, and we are having problems picking up each others totals. If no one else has posted since you discovered your mistake, you can edit the post to fix it! Don't worry -- we ALL make mistakes!

So, to make it easier, please use the format:
Group total <old> + <your minutes> = <new total>

And please make it stand out on a line

So, starting back with nicole's minutes: 3714 minutes


Group total 3714 + 75 (celery) + 52 (Vilandra) = 3841 minutes!

Yesterday 20 minute walk

20+3841=3861 Group Total
