I'll start this months thread since its not up yet!

This challenge is for everyone! Set an exercise goal, come here and keep a record of what you did to achieve it.


My goal is 600 minutes this month I will do a combination of pilates and cardio with some strength training thrown in. Good luck to everyone on reaching their goals!

Hi Jenn!! Well last month I had trouble with a muscle pull so had to lay off a but toward the end, still wound up at 1260 so not too bad I guess. My previous 2 months were in the 2000 zone though!

I will set a goal for 1500 this month.

I exceeded my goal last month, so this month I am increasing my goal to 1300 minutes

I'd like to join in the challenge

I'm going to set a goal of 700 minutes, also consisting of a lot of dance and yoga!

Hi! I was the last post for September. Not sophisticated enough technically to post a link to it, but that's where I intro'd myself. Seeing as I 'joined' you there less than an hour before October started, I looked you up (Thanks, dustcatcher!) and am joining you here.

I've been eating pretty sensibly (for the most part)--but I haven't exercised for WAY TOO LONG.

My goal? Simply put, to exercise at least every other day. I haven't been exercising at all for months, so this represents real effort on my part. I can work it up once I get back in the habit.

My "bike" is a PRO FORM 770-S. I keep my records according to what its readout says. It goes by Distance/Calories/Time. Don't know if it's measuring miles or kilometers, I just note the numbers. Here goes:

Oct.1: 7.03/339 calories/57 minutes

Thanks!

Hi girls nice to see everyone from previous months as well as those joining in. JC, glad you started the thread back up : ) okay, I am setting my goal for 1000 minutes this month. Have a super day!

HI everyone. I'm glad to see everyone here!!!
Last month I wasn't quite where I wanted to be, Im still trying to get used to the 12 hour shifts/workouts/babysitting. . . Anyhow I didn't work out yesterday (my 4th 12 hour day in a row, plus I babysat my nephew) I'm off today and I plan on working out tonight plus I am going to try and do weights and pilates while my son is napping. Starting next week I am going to start volunteer coaching a class at the Y, the official coach is too pregnant to do the activities and asked DH and I to do the physical part of the class ! The class teaches kids 2-5 year olds the fundamentals of sports: basketball, soccer, baseball, football, frisbee, kickball, running. . . there are usually 6-8 kids in the class and its 2 times a week an hour long!

I didn't do too bad today. I've been drinking apple juice instead of pop, and I feel like I've already noticed a difference. I did pretty good today with the food. I had fish for lunch, along with a salad. I also did 45 minutes of exercise, and I didn't get bored. Yay!

Dustcatcher, congrats on exceeding your goal last month!

Jeni, yowsa! THat's quite the schedule you have there, busy indeed! I think it's great that you and dh are going to be coaching a class at the Y for the kiddies!


As for me, I have gotten a couple of walks in the past few days but want to work towards my former shedule of including aerobics as well at some point as I need the upper bod workout too. I may be going up to NH for a few days next week but if I do I will be getting in plenty of walking and I will keep a journal so that I can post upon my return. Have a super weekend everyone

I am starting late though....just returned last night from a vacation to Disney with the family...so, I am going to clock 2 hrs of walking for every day we were there. We left our hotel around 9:00am each day, and didn't hit the pillows until midnight. Tonnes of walking, swimming, standing, eating (but that's for another thread).
Great to see everyone back!!
