Thanks for that title, Terapet. I'll have to look that up in my local library! Like you, I become motivated when I read about weight loss and exercise. I pick up all the books I can find at thrift stores and yard sales, no matter the diet plan, and then I steal the ideas that make the most sense to me!

Linzluv, today's exercise is impressive! Good for you!

MY EXERCISE:
July 1--15 min elliptical
July 2--45 min strength training; 30 min walking
July 3--15 min elliptical
July 4--15 min elliptical
July 5--40 min strength training; 30 min walking
July 6--15 min elliptical

I finally completed my exercise for today. I did a 30 minuted dvd plus when out today, I took the stairs instead of the elevator. That should count for something.

7/1- 2 miles on Nordic track + ST, and stretches + gardening
7/2 - 5.6 miles walking
7/3 2 miles tromping throught the tall grass and strength training.
7/4 2.5 miles walking
7/5 1.8 MILES WALKING
7/6 1.5 miles walking/ Pilates 30 min

Good morning chickies!! Congrats on making it through the first full week in July! Today is the last day of that first week, so let's make it a good day! Woohoo!

Candtlove, good job!

Lewis, I read what you said to Cake on the other thread. She is inspirational, isn't she?! The thing is, that's how I've always thought of you too! You, Cake, Ican, and now Delphi and Joci among others, have always amazed me with your level of commitment to exercise!

Sorry to say I did not get all my workout's in this week it has been a hit and miss with me. I have got most of our packing done hopefully I will have a better week this next week....

I think I need to change my goals. I've decided I'd just like to stop doing weights and concentrate on yoga instead. So no weights, instead yoga daily. Be back later with an update!

Bigknitter, okay girlie! I've edited out the weights and edited in the daily yoga. Do you want to leave your other goals the same?

Mystical, good luck on a better exercise week!

Jacqui_D - I guess I should change my moderate minutes to 600 since it's only been 7 days and I'm finished already Thanks! You're awesome for keeping track of our craziness!

T_Girl, great job! I've upped your overall minutes by 300 too, to go along with the change!

Here is my exercise for the week:
July 1 60 minutes Zumba: 15 min walk
July 2 60 minutes Step
July 3 0
July 4 60 minutes Zumba
July 5 0
July 6 60 minutes Step

I am a little further in the NROW4W. I don't know what to think about some of the things he writes about. He says that exercises that isolate the small muscles are unnecessary. For example ab crunches and bicep curls. Interesting but so different from what I am used to. I haven't decided yet if I will try the weight regimen or not. I would have to buy the book for one thing! (I have a library copy).

Jacqui D-I noticed you added elliptical. That's great.

Thanks Jacqui!
