  • Well, only 20 minutes since I last posted. No excuses, I need to get up and moving. I only have 224 minutes of exercise for the month, and it's almost half over.

    Several of you are doing so well, though!!! High-intensity cardio, P90X sculpting, and major distances being traveled - you're all my inspirations. Keep it up!

    Another 35 minutes yesterday. I admire those of you averaging more than an hour a day. That's real commitment!! So, with 259 minutes down, I still have 741 to go. Slowly but surely....
