    11/3 - Turbo Jam - 30 min
    11/4 - Turbo Jam - 30 min
    11/5 - Walk - 30 min

    WendyRN: 850 minutes
    Thanks, gardenerjoy! I'm soooo glad you realized that I meant 850 min for the month and not each day as it appears I wrote!

    Let me just ask... how often do most people update their minutes?

    Thanks! I'm excited to have this accountability to keep on movin!
  • OK! So, despite being a week with a few days where I couldn't fit in any exercise, week 1 was not so terrible...

    Week 1 total: 242 mins (behind target by 136 mins). I'm confident I can make this up as we go on...

    Let's hope week 2 is a little better!

    Week 2:

    8th - 45 mins swimming
    9th - 30 mins swimming
    10th - 100 mins mountainbiking
    11th - no excercise
    12th - no excercise
    13th - 45 mins swimming
    14th - 180 mins mountainbiking

    Week 2 total: 400 mins
    This week ahead/behind: 22 mins ahead

    Running total: 642 mins
    Total ahead/behind: -114 mins

    Happy exercising all! X

  • WendyRN: We're all over the board. Many of us update daily or close to that. Some people do one or two summary posts in the month--especially one at the end of the month to show that they have made their goal. If you want the accountability, I suggest daily -- that's made all the difference for me!
