First of all, I see some great goals here everyone so here's a big :woohoo: that you all do great this coming month.

I see that some of you have set up a calendar so I think that I will do that as well and then search for it (hopefully finding it also):

Also, in the interest of not writing a book what I am doing I will take advantage of the smilies here. So, here is the legend:

:exercise:= Leslie Sansone Walk dvd -30 mins. Mon-Wed-Fri
:lifter:= 30 mins. free weight strength exercises (upper/lower/core)-T-Th-SA
:yoga:=yoga or flexibility dvd Sundays and/or any day

:carrot:carrot by each one means I did it!

Everyone's doing great!! And I love reading all the challenges we've set ourselves. So far so good for me too, I completed my 4th day in a row working out, so 3/3 for January. Unfortunately it's been a low turnout at gym classes this week so they've been cancelled and I've had to do my own thing which felt a little boring today despite trying to pump myself up with some good music...

But the weekend is here and I think that means a dance class tomorrow morning so I hope enough people turn up as I am in the mood for some dancing!

01: 4.2 mile walk 70 min; swim 45 min; total minutes 115
02: 3.2 mile walk 55 min; swim 40 min; weight lifting 40 min; 250
03: 4.7 mile hike 80 min; 330

My goal for Jan is to complete 4 weeks of Bob Greene's 12 week body makeover.
So this means I need to do 3 sets of strength exercises, 6 sets of functional and 6 cardio, 5 regular (30 mins) and 1 double (60 mins) per week.

Week 1 -
Jan 1 - 75 min, 3.24 snow hike (1 dbl cardio)
Jan 3 - 1 set functional, 1 set of strength, 1 cardio 30 min exercise bike

Joy spent about an hour on snow removal today as well!!

Today I didn't want to go out in the cold so I didn't go to the gym, but I did do some push ups and squats, as well as some squat jumps. I also danced for awhile to some music and tried to learn some of the zumba moves from my never used zumba videos

Week 1: 3/4
Month: 3/25

1/1...20 minute hill climb
1/2...jogging 1.5 miles, 2 miles total
1/3...jogging 2.0 miles, 2.5 miles total

Kellijpa, I saw that you wrote your "joy" today. I used to do that. Thank you for reminding me to do that again. :thanks:

My joy today: getting a free Starbuck's latte. :)

January's Goal = 1000 minutes on the treadmill (next month track miles)

1 - 20/980
2 - 20/960
3 - 00/960

I took a 2 hour nap today, can I count the minutes if I dreamed about walking? Still trying to get over the sinus infection. I really needed that nap, I haven't slept well in days because I can't breathe out of my nose at night. I really really want to get back to my regular 45-60 minutes a day soon.

My goal for January is to complete a total of 15 workouts (averaging 3 per week, but allowing flexibility if needed). I also have built in a little incentive for myself if I meet my challenge ($40 to buy books), with the potential to earn extra for each additional workout completed ($5 extra per workout).

Still going strong with the challenge! And doing my squats every day for the tushie challenge too!!

This is how it's shaping up so far:

1. Gym workout
2. Pilates class and 20 minute cycle
3. Gym workout
4. Body pump class
5. Gym workout
6. Gym workout

I found myself alone at the gym yesterday when I arrived about 4.40 so I decided to check out the 'man' weights and found a good one for triceps. I can't lift much (yet!) but I can feel it working and my arms really need it!

How's everyone going with their challenge? My status is slightly bored but still very determined! Pilates tomorrow so I can break up the gym workout routine!

Keep up the great work y'all started just a week ago! :carrot:
