Aislin: yay for more consistent exercise! This challenge thread helped, and continues to help, me achieve that as well -- even in the months that I don't make my goal.
Gardenerjoy....I agree...this thread has definitely helped me be accountable for my work outs as well. The plus is definitely that I am going to keep trying. Can't till december challenge is posted

28 Spinning = 120 mins
so, tracking for the last two days of November and a round up:
Last week was a bit of a write off as I wasn't very well (dragged down by the flu jab) but let's get the last 2 days recorded:
29th - 35 mins swimming, 20 mins JM 30DS
30th - 35 mins swimming, 20 mins JM 30DS
So that's on track for the last 2 days - better late than never eh!?
So overall total: 1232 mins
Total ahead/behind: -368 mins
So, although week 4 was a bit of a blip, I'm generally proud of how I did in November. I think my December challenge will be by the day, rather than over all - give me more incentive to do something every day.
Yay, I am worth it, for steps in the right direction! Join us again next month. It took me a few months to figure out what kind of goals to set that were both challenging and achievable.

Sounds very interesting and I think I'm going to jump in an join. Certainly will add some spice to some of my exercise routines which recently have made me unmotivated! thanks.

But, I did exercise more this month than I have been, so I'll still consider it a step in the right direction.
