CIC May Exercise Thread!
 

Part of what keeps me binge-free is being active and exercising! Thank you Kate for the April thread, I only just found it halfway thru the month. So if we can get everyone on board, committed, we can have a binge-free, active month! If you need, copy and paste the dates from below then just come back every day and "edit" your own post to add what activity you did. It helps to post your monthly goal as well.....here goes, LET'S DO IT!

My goal will be 1100 minutes but my secret goal will be 1300.

2; 70 minutes gym time! Woohoo! 70

I am not sure, but if we all just edit our post, won´t the thread dissapear into the nirvana of all the older post very soon? I don´t think that these system counts an edit as a new post...

:yes: That's true, Kate. Shall we just pop in once and day and say "hi" besides editing our posts? :D

I think I should be exercising, but I've got workers here, and I can't get out. Maybe I'll get on the bike later...

Let's all move it, girls!! :exercise: :running: :swim: :lifter:
Have a great day! :grouphug:

Jep, I´ll say "Hi" and edit my post...The Exercise thread should be on the top of the page :D

I did my new Pilates DVD (MTV Pilates) for the first time today. And it´s....tough. Really tough. I wasn´t able to do all the exercises, but I´ll keep trying! :^:

And I got some soure muscles to report...ok, some isn´t right. To be honest: I´ve got a little problem moving the part of my body which is located underneath my chin and above my knees.

ellis: Hope you visited your bike yesterday! :D

Great idea for the thread...to have the days listed to really tell at a glance just how much you're doing, thanks! Wow, it makes me feel awesome to realize how much I've done this month already! YIPPEE! Now, I just gotta keep it up!

Good going, girls! Keep it up!! :cheer: (just bumping this up and editing my post) :D
Kate, that's good muscle pain, right? :lol: I'd like to try Pilates... it looks like such a great workout.

Elizabeth, you're a powerhouse!! :hat:

Hi!

I did my exercises today :D

And I don´t know what kind of madness ruled my brain at this moment, but I bought a whole year admission ticket for our local pool (which is located in the street where i live). So I am planning to go swimming. In a bathing suit. :o Oh my.....

Kate, you just kill me. :lol3: Good luck with that bathing suit thing. I'll bet you'll look great. :hug: And you'll feel so good in the water.

Just got off the bike... where is everyone else? ahem? Michelle? Renee? Elizabeth? :grouphug:

OK...saw my name from across the river Ellis. Now I feel guilty! Tomorrow its supposed to rain all day. PERFECT for making excuses to not work out. But because i don't want to be pointed at I'm gonna do SOMETHING! LOL
Wanna race? :)

ellis: No, no, I really don´t look good wearing a bathing suit...But the good thing is: it´s an outside pool (I forgot the right english word) and it´s not that warm here at the moment. Plus the fact that I am planning to go in the moring= nobody is going to see me! :carrot:

I plan to go swimming tomorrow, if it´s not raining too much. The air is cold, the water is cold- one of the rare occassions in my life where having a body like a baby seal is helpful.


Kate :bunny2: (just discovered that bunny and LOVE it!!)

OK ELLIS Its raining out but I still exercised!! Thanks for the push!

Yay, Renee!!! :cheer: I read your post this morning, and I thought, "She won't exercise. Because I sure wouldn't! :lol3:
I'm so glad for you, hon!! :hug:

I went to the gym again this morning, and I feel like I've run over by a truck. I suppose that could be a good thing...

Kate, I hope you're all alone in the pool, and that you have a lovely time. :)
Oh, that bunny is too cute... :bunny2:
