I've slightly altered my goal, so I'm not already failing it on the 3rd! I've added three days in the month (one used up yesterday!) that, if I'm in too much pain from working out too hard, I'm allowed to miss a workout. But, I'm not allowed to use these goals for laziness.

Two more left this month, hoping now I can still stick to my goals!

I had an amazing workout tonight! I managed to not only complete c25k but complete it with ease, and ended up adding a 6 min run onto the end, when the intervals at the moment are only three. I feel like I could have gone longer, but am trying to save my legs given the agony I was in yesterday and really wanting to get a workout in tomorrow too. When I did the exact same routine on Monday, I just about did it, but it nearly killed me, there was NO WAY I was adding 6 mins to the end, I love seeing progress :) Moving onto week 5 this weekend, bring it on!

I also did a new resistance band regime, 15 reps of each exercise and managed 2 sets. The exercises were, squats, bent over rows, chest presses, wood chops, triceps extensions, lateral rows and bicep curls.

This time next week I want to be posting with my 8th consecutive day of doing something on the exercise front. I've learnt the hard way not to go at it TOO hard, and I'll certainly not be drinking between now n then, so, bring it on!

Here's the goal list with takingcontrol's added rest days. We approve of rest days! I also find it useful to count yoga and/or stretching as exercise, especially on days when doing anything else would be counterproductive.

rosetta: 1300 minutes
chickadee32: buy running equipment, 2 weeks of C25K, 22/31 days of exercise
takingcontrol: exercise everyday, C25K every other day, log strength training, 3 rest days allowed
CardboardCutoutCat: 1400 minutes
carvedmarmalade: 28 miles, 570 minutes strength/cardio
julia/gulia: 1000 minutes

gardenerjoy - thanks for updating :) And, don't worry, I do anticipate some of the days exercise being something like a walk to the supermarket or ten mins with the resistance band. I just now know that there's going to be days when even that is too much!

3/1: 100 min @ gym (elliptical, bike, treadmill, strength training)
3/2: 100 min @ gym (elliptical, bike, treadmill, strength training)

can I join?
 
This is exactly what I need to jump start my weightloss goals. I need to exercise more consistantly.

This month I will exercise for 1300 minutes!
We can do this.

So far I have 1240 mins left.

Thanks!
