August excercise challange
 

I hope nobody minds that I started this thread.
Dustcatcher started it last month, but since she is not feeling well, I thought I would start it off this month.
I enjoyed the July exercise forum soooo much....it really helped me stay motivated and focused.
So, here we go.....

Hi kinyc and sockmonkey. welcome!

What do you do for your cardio sock?

Me too, me too?!

I was trying Ct5K for a couple of weeks and my knees told me something wasn't quite right. Now I'm doing stroller walks and Jari Love DVDs for weights. Planning on working pilates in to help with the abs, my least favorite, soon.

Mainly intervals on the elliptical..sometimes walking..sometimes tennis, sometimes the row machine..But yeah, usually the elliptical because I love it!

Ladiessssssss, hi there! I wasn't around for a while....I was with dh on the bay and the other day I said to him, jeesh I never started the thread before leaving and hope the girls started up. Sorry to leave you guys hanging. Everyone is doing so great and we must keep it running. Dea, glad you started it :) Jas, not stepping on any toes though I know how you feel as I felt the same way before but the main thing is we keep it running so if for some reason we dont see it started up, any of us jump in and go for it. ANyhow, it's good to see you all, keep kicking butt girls! :carrot:

sockmonkey : ) , kiki, and leeza, welcome :)


Okay, as for me, no idea what I am doing! lol I have been very active and keeping mental notes of my activity so I have to post it before too much time goes by. My main focus right now is to stick with exercise and be as active as possible despite vaca. Have a super weekend ladies and keep up the great work :)

Hi ladies :) I finally got my tail back in here. MIss you guys and I was not gone just took a little detour during vaca, lol : ). I really had to talk to myself quite a bit to get my tail back in here and make a commitment, I promised myself that after vaca and cutting myself a bit of slack I would in and post an ex. goal! It does stress me sometimes (and I didn't want to do it during vaca for various reasons) but it is such a good stressor and so totally good for me ladies! It helps keep me in line and this type of pressure is awesome for me! I have worked very hard thus far and despite any slack I cut myself these past few weeks I knew and know that it was and is very important I get right back to it and post and hold myself accountable. So here I am! lol . You guys are rocking, kee p up the awesome work!

Welcome cj, miss, determination, and kiki.. hmm, hope I got that right! anyhow, the more the merrier, it's nice to have the company!

Okay, so here is the scoop on me. It's been a fun filled vaca but time to get serious again and right back to plan so what I am going to do is post the dates and exercise I have done thus far while on vaca and then make or set a goal of 700 minutes for the remainder of the month! ay ay ay, lol :) glad your all here for support and inspiration, let's keep it rocking! :)

aug.1 - 70 minutes (walk-beach, swim-20min.)
aug.2- 40 minutes (walk-20min.b, swim-15min.)
aug.3- 30 minutes (walk)
aug.7- 60 minutes (walk)
aug.8- 20 minutes (walk)

aug.10-beginning new pledge and ex. minutes...finally! 700 minutes from here until end of month.


It's nice to be back ladies, it honestly feels like such a long time to me....both here and in the weight loss challenge! keep up the awesome work! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

Glad to see you back Fullsteam!! Hope you had a great vacation!
