:wave:
I am going for 60 mins 5 days this week, so 300 minutes. There is an off hand chance I will be moving this weekend (please keep your fingers crossed for me) but if so I am sure the lugging boxes be a perfectly fine stand-in for ye olde sweat machine. (Okay, so most people call it a treadmill.)

Anyway, here's the score:
Jan 5 - 70mins (+10)
Jan 6 - 30mins elliptical, 34mins walking (+4)
Jan 7 - Day off
Jan 8 - Dance class. 90mins strenuous movement. I found muscles I forgot I had. :) (+30)
Jan 9 - 30mins walking, 10mins elliptical (-20) :(
Jan 10 - 30mins elliptical, 30mins walking
Jan 11- 60mins elliptical

384/300 Wish me luck. :yay:

MonteCristo--OMG!! What an awesome goal!! And you too, Clykk!!

1/10 -20 minutes run outside
1/11 -

Total--425!

Update: fell off the exercise goals b/c of greatly increased work time and travel, plus a cold. I know, I know just an excuse, right? OK--back on track.....
