My commitment: *30 of the next 30 days*
I am going to park at the far end of the parking lot or walk around the stores longer during errands, if it means I get my exercise in!
Two reasons I should do this:
-It makes me feel good!
-I actually get to READ something other than a school book.
Reward:
-Going back to the day spa to get another facial and massage!!!!

17 of the next 30 days! I work 12 1/2 hour shifts, which if you include travelling time means I am away from home from 5:45 am until 7:45 pm. Realistically I'm not then going to turn around and exercise - it takes everything for me not to drag myself to bed as soon as I get home! So I counted all the days I'm not working in the next 30, and there are 17. I will exercise on every one of those 17 days.
2 reasons to do this: To increase my energy levels, and to kick my weight loss back up again.
2 reasons: I want to be a good influence on my daughter and I want the boost in calorie burning that exercise gives.
My reward: TBD
26/30
what I've done:walked around pizza putt for 4 hours, walked up and down a long steep hill to get to school x17, arc trainer x3, jogged x7, walked x4, ran around playground with daughter x2
Kelly's Challenge Goals: (running late but, it's only 0600 on the West Coast so this is good - it will make it so I HAVE to go to the gym today!)
I will exercise: 30 of the next 30 days!
What I plan to do: Jog at least 5k on SuMWF, swim on Sa, Lift SaSu and either WiiFit or dog walk for 30 minutes on TR
2 reasons to do this: Because all of you are so I want to and because I really want to be able to exercise more consistently - I work in an anti-aging lab and we do research on longevity - guess who lives longer? People who exercise more! So, I want to live longer!
My reward: Probably compression shorts for my impending 5ks....maybe I can get them in RED

Okay, this really scares me to do because exercise is my hardest thing. So because it is, I HAVE to do it. Here goes:
I will exercise: 30 of the next 30 days
What I plan to do: Anything that gets my body moving. I had knee surgery a few months ago so I can't do any heavy cardio yet, but I can do SOMEthing every day. Walk, stretch, ellliptical, weights; not sure what the routine will be yet.
2 reasons to do this: Because I know that if I don't it will be too easy to let the whole thing go and continue sitting on my a$$. And because I know that lasting weight loss will not happen unless I exercise.
Goal: 22 (30) days of exercise at least and more if I can.
Two Reasons to keep committed:
a) Exercise helps me lose weight faster
b) Exercise is good for my body--heart and muscles in particular
Reward: Satisfaction (but I'll think of something more tangible to post)

Ok if we are counting walking or fun movement, I can most definitely do 30/30!
Two reasons I should keep the commitment are my health and my self-esteem. I have a hard time following through on promises to myself, so each one I keep allows me to feel better about myself.
I will reward myself with a new bathing suit for swim practice.
Location: A beautiful and peaceful place in the woods
Posts: 8,905
S/C/G: Stuck/Working on it/Good 2 Go
Height: Fun Size
I should be committed...
My Committment - 4 regular gym days each week and at least 30 minutes of planned exercise of some sort - weights/walking/calistethics for the next 30 days.
Why I'm Doing This: When I focus on exercising I not only feel better about myself but it tends to pull me in line with other good habits like my menus and water intake.
My reward: The wonderful feeling of actually sticking with something for more than 5 days and of course I expect some side perks like loser clothing and lower numbers on the scale
Track Record: 6/30 (Started Sunday 09/21) Temporarily Sidelined with a hip problem but I'm not giving up
