I hope it's not TOO late to join! I am new to this whole exercising thing and I am trying to start slow and not to expect TOO much out of myself. I used to walk my dogs daily, but that stopped once it got wet and freezing outside with the winter, but now that that warmer time is coming, I am going to concentrate on walking them every morning before work.

My goal for march is to walk them 5 days a week in the morning; and if the weather will not allow me to, I will then walk/jog on my treadmill.

Starting today:
03/13/13 - Walked the dogs this morning. 1.08miles

I had to switch to my left arm, but it was a good workout.

Okay, so unfortunately I was up in the middle of the night with a stomach issue, so I was very exhausted this morning, and actually overslept, and didn't get to walk the dogs, when my original plan was to wake up EARLIER, so I could take them for a longer walk.. ugh. :\ I feel like I let myself down.

03.13.13 - Walked the pups - 1.08miles
03.14.13 - Nothing due to stomach issue last night. :(

oatmeal
 

this has been a "go to" staple food for me but I'm reading here and other places it is full of sugar and chemicals and not so great...any quick alternatives for "grab and go" morning foods, I'm almost always in a hurry in the mornings except weekends when I can be more mindful...

PS sorry I'm new that has NOTHING TO DO with exercise ha ha
but I will add that I try to get to the gym or at least some form of cardio every day including TODAY :)
sorry about that

Never too late, Savemykissesx! Good for you for logging the second day, even when you didn't manage the exercise. I suggest logging every day (or at least every week day). Whatever you manage this month, great! And the log will help you determine what goal to set next month.

Thanks for the welcome aboard!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wake up again this morning... so the dogs didn't go for a walk, (I did go to the gym tonight after work and had an amazing work out, and yesterday I took the dogs for a walk after work, and did a crazy work out at home) but that's not what my goal was. Next week is a whole new week, and I will focus more on this. :\ I feel like I let everyone down.

3.13.13 - Walked the dogs 1.08miles
3.14.13 - Unfortunately wasn't feeling well.
3.15.13 - Too tired to wake up. :(

Next week, bring it on!!

Savemykissesx: Think of last week as practice! This stuff isn't easy or everyone would be doing it, so give yourself time to figure out what's going to work for you.

I agree, gardenerjoy - that was very well put. It's tough to get into the swing of things when you haven't been swinging anything for a long while. I know this from personal experience!

For my second week in March (I started late with this challenge), I have gotten off to a good start:

03/14 - 25m kettlebells/10m pilates
03/16 - 25m kettlebells/10m pilates

I'm planning on doing my kettlebell workouts on the 17th and 20th to meet my goal. Good luck, everyone, and happy Saturday!

So, Week Two was an epic fail. :mad: I had a million excuses but excuses don't build muscles. Onward to Week Three.
