March 21-26.... There was one day that I walked 30 minutes but I forgot which one. Other than that I have been slacking majorly! Walked 80 minutes today though. Probably won't make my goal now but I will push to get back in the habit!

AHH!! I totally dropped the ball on this post. I was just reading through and everyone is doing so well! It is really motivating to see!

I so far have ended up with 600 minutes this month, not the 1040, or even close, to my goal! Ugh! But I am proud of what I have done. I have gotten to all of my class workouts, and even have now added another night, so I have 3 60-min class workouts a week that I am loving.

One affect I have really been noticing is in my sleep! Glorious sleep!! I have been a horrible sleeper the last few years, tossing, turning, can't turn off my brain, etc ... but since I have been working out again I am finding I am falling asleep faster and more importantly, STAYING asleep! I've slept through my alarm a couple of times this week. LOL It feels really great to be rested.

Anyway, I totally never got into my 20 min workouts this month, which is where the minutes gap is. So that is my priority for April! Keeping up my classes, and adding 20 minutes in the morning 5 days a week for the next 6 weeks. (30 day shred)

My kids and I had a blast doing Just Dance this past weekend for an hour or so, we're gonna try and squeeze that in whenever we can too. :)

Good luck to all wrapping up the goals this week! :exercise:

Congratulation for all of you!

I haven't met my goals. Well, I was sick almost 2 weeks this month and was not able to exercise.
But still, I try to run 5 days a week and can run 2 miles. Do some weight and stretching exercises and looking for a personal trainer.
swimming is not in my routine yet. OK, will try to archive it next couple months.

March 29: treadmill workout

Day 10 of 12

As usual, I've cut it so close I have to use every last day to meet my goal this month!

gardenerjoy 03-29-2012 10:52 PM

DaugT: improved sleep is the best motivator for exercise! It will get me to exercise even when I'm tired (because tired doesn't necessarily mean that I'll sleep).

Did a longer run at a slower pace tonight, and it felt pretty good overall! Those long runs are so satisfying. I think one of my goals for April is going to be to run 10K at least once on the treadmill (not a race) just to prove to myself that I can actually do it. After how I felt tonight I know I could, I just haven't tried it yet. :)
