Peg,
I just finished 26 min.on my elliptical.:woohoo:I can't believe it!I didn't want to do it at all.But,I said ok, I will just do 10 min. Since that is my goal for this week.Then I coaxed myself into 20,since that is what I did yesterday.Then I said I could do it a little more.I don't know if that will happen again tomorrow.But,so what I did it today,and I know that I am getting stronger!:D

Wonderful news Tracy! Good job!

I didn't exercise this morning but still intend to take a walk this evening. Glad I got up though...hopefully I'll get on a roll.

Peg

Ok, going to get up again tomorrow. I didn't walk this afternoon...bad girl. I need to get it done in the morning so I'm going to try and get myself out there tomorrow morning.

Peg

Where are you Peg,
I want you to know ,I pushed myself up to 30 min.on my elliptical!:woops:I thought I would :faint:.Not,because I was tired, but because I did it! I don't know if I'll do it tomorrow,but that is ok. Because I did it today. My new philosophy isNo Pressure!I know it is because you started this Morning Exercise Habit. Which to be honest,I was not to excited about this challenge in the beginnning:rolleyes:.I also remember a long time ago,I read or someone told me it is better to exercise in the morning because all day long you will be burning more calories.Even if you are just sitting!Thanks Peg, I guess friends are in are life for a reason. Even, if it is cyber friends!;) :angel:
P.S.I have to watch The View. George Lopez is on,and I love him!

:carrot::carrot::carrot: Yeah Tracy!!!!! You rock! I totally agree that taking the pressure off ourselves makes a huge difference and I'm so glad to see you succeeding with the challenge.

I myself must get back on the horse tomorrow. :( I turned off the alarm clock, got out of bed to turn off the tv that I was using as my across the room alarm clock, turned immediately around and crawled back in bed. I don't even think I really woke up. I made the mistake of telling myself I HAD to exercise this morning (because I really don't have any other time today) and that was not the plan. Why do I try to change the plan on day 2????!!! :?:

I will get this figured out. I know I will....

Peg

I just noticed your ticker changed! 6 lbs this week!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!

Peg

Ok, off to bed and will be back bright and early tomorrow. I have a 5 mile hike planned so want to get a decent early start and get this wake-up time going.

I'll post when I'm vertical!

Peg

I'm up. ;)

I have alot of things to do today.Not feeling like exercising.Big difference from yesterday.But,I will. I'll let you know how I did.This thread is keeping me motivated
to do it,even wnen I am down in the dumps.

Well, I did 30 min. on my elliptical again today!I did not want to ,but once I got on I felt better. And, it is true exercising is a great stress reliever.

Good job Tracy!

I did my 5 mile hike! Yeah for me! It was a very pleasant stroll but I do now remember how important more consistent exercise is to making the whole thing a lot more pleasant. I do much better when my fitness level is just a bit better.

Peg

WOW!5 miles
That is great!:dance::dance:How long does it take to walk 5 ml.?

I was on the trail for almost exactly 3 hours but I think I was walking a little over 2 of them. I took a pretty long lunch break and one other break on the way up. I walked straight through the way back (downhill mostly). Depending on the elevation gain and my fitness level, I hike anywhere from about 1.5 mph to 2.5 mph.

Peg

I wanna join in!!
 

I would totally love to join this group!! Something needs to get me out of bed in the morning, and I think having to report on here to everybody would totally make me do that.. :carrot:

I have a treadmill upstairs in my spare bedroom, which has been collecting dust for the past few months, and a great morning exercise on there would be amazing.. I just need to get outta bed and do it!

I love all the support 3FC has to offer, and you ladies are amazing!!! :grouphug:

Welcome aboard Carrie! We'll be glad to be your accountability check. I'm headed off to bed now but am planning to be up bright and early again tomorrow. I'm going to get this habit going!
