Hey everyone!

I did get in a :swim: today of 0.75 miles but now I can't lift my arms or move my shoulders!!!! :D But I am feeling better as I was getting really stressed out about the holidays-:eek: how am I going to get this all done!-but decided to head to the gym instead of the cookie jar. :)

So, to date, I am at: 24.45/50 still flirting with the half-way mark but maybe tomorrow!

Hope everyone is doing well and getting in their miles!! :carrot:

Hey UROCKMOM- Great job on chosing the gym! It is easy to lose sight this time of year. It is really important that you make time for yourself!
I had to really talk myself in to my workout today too. It is very cold and wet, and I am not used to this weather. All I want to do is curl up under a ton of blankets! But I did get 2 miles on the nordic track which warmed me up for a while! lets keep each other moving toward our goal!:cp:

I am down for this challenge! I often walk my kids to school because we only have one car right now. School is 1.4 miles from the house and I have to walk that four times a day when I don't have the car so, I will start tracking the days I do that on here. I will also try and pay attention to what I do in the gym when I run on the treadmill.

Here is what I have walked so far...

Monday, December 8th - 5.6 miles
Tuesday, December 9th - 5.6 miles
Wednesday, December 10th -5.6 miles

I will be headed for a walk a lil later today hopefully I can get in another 5.6 miles today!

Blech, I have been sick for the past 3 days w/ the flu. No activity happening here. :(

On the plus side, I am beginning to feel better today. I am antsy to start exercising again....if I feel up to it, I am going to try for a leisurely walk a little later on today. I know I won't be up to doing the C25k today...but I am hoping I can start Week 2 tomorrow.

I am excited to get the 2nd half of this weight off. I've been sitting on my laurels for the past couple of weeks and now, especially after this sickness, I am remotivated to reach my ultimate goal!

How is everybody else doing? Probably busy, right? :p

Ohhhh Esperanzabella.... I am so sorry to hear you've been sick:( I am glad you are feeling better, just take it slow until you are 100% again. The Flu sucks!
I took advantage of some decent weather today, it was cold but not rainy! I got 4.25 miles in for a total of 28.5/59!!!! Hope everyone is is doing good, and staying healthy!

EsperanzaBella82 12-16-2008 12:12 PM

Well, I am sort of touch and go w/ this flu...I did get in a walk last night, tho so :yay: for that!

12/15
2.5 mile walk

December Mileage Total: 21.25

I am just going to try to do what I can this month, as opposed to trying to meet a goal. I really want to do more exercise-wise, but at the same time I don't want to run my body down while it's trying to build itself back up!

Lewis, you are doing awesome this month. Keep it up! :cheer:

Zeta, glad to see you getting those miles in! :carrot:

I am going to take a 3 mile walk today. Am hoping and wishing to get back to the gym tomorrow. This is so frustrating!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr!

I'll Join in the challenge for the rest of the month, I've been keeping track of my mileage. So far 47.9/90.

urockmom 12-16-2008 04:13 PM

Hi ladies!

Sorry I was away but I got in no mileage at all over the weekend!!! :( And I felt like a slug too!

Anyway, today I climbed back on that elliptical for 2 miles.

Let's keep movin' chicks!

EsperanzaBella82 12-16-2008 04:19 PM

I took a walk today and it started raining halfway through, but I had a rain jacket w/ a hood on so I just popped my hood on and continued on my way!

Today:
3.15 mile walk

JackieRn 12-16-2008 04:45 PM

Thanks EsperanzaBella82 glad to be part of the challenge. In the last 4 weeks I've been making it a point to run 20 miles each week, I'm hoping to do an extra 10 this month.

welcome Jackie! we look forward to seeing/sharing your progress!
I was christmas shopping yesterday, my friend wanted starbucks, so I comprimised, and told her I would have a sf coffee with sf syrup, no whipped cream. if she walked with me.... well I got a mile in yeah! It isn't much, but considering she almost never exercises, it was good, and at least I can log atleast a mile. sooo29.5 is my new total!!

Lewisempire 12-18-2008 08:15 AM

1.7miles on the nordic track before work....31.2/59 finally past halfway!
