Feb 1-7 Goal 300/ Completed 177
Feb 1 C25K W6D1 34 minutes. Walk 30 minutes. 13690 steps.
Feb 2 C25K W6D2 33 minutes. Walk 30 minutes. Walk/hike with the dog 20 min. 14618 steps.
Feb 3. Walk 30 minutes. 12618 steps.

Unfortunately my exercise class was cancelled due to inclement weather. Walked in the house instead. Boring but doable.

Ok, I feel I need to join this group this month. I've been getting lazier and lazier with my running (mostly because it's summer!) and I need to start making myself accountable. I'm almost at my goal weight and I want to see what weight I can get down to before May (IVF month :D). Typically I like to get out 3x a week, but it's been 1-2 lately. (It's gloomy today, so I'm going out this afternoon LOL)

My goal would be to run 3x a week this month.

I just have to keep telling myself that it's almost May :carrot:

There is no possible way I could (yet) do the 30 Day Squat Challenge so I made up my own. Totally do-able, even for a weakling like myself, and I made every other day a rest day so I can recover from the excruciating pain in my legs. I started yesterday. Ouch.

Here it is (sorry, it's full size):

I do the "hard" bosu squats:

My exercise goal for February is to be able to run for 15 minutes straight. I'm pretty close to this goal already but haven't decided yet what my course of action will be once I reach that goal.

2/1: 12 minutes
2/3: 13 minutes
2/4: 13 minutes

pamatga 02-04-2014 01:43 PM

:welcome3: everyone! Have fun getting ready to "unveil" :belly: all your hard work when spring comes.....forget the snow:brr::shocksn: and think :sunny:

:goodluck: So, get some serious sweat goin'!

:coffee: Again, my February's goal is the same---exercise every day.

I also belong to two other exercise challenges---both an individual and team one.

** I walked 83, 661 steps last month for a team step challenge. I am part of Team Wonder Woman and we are leading the pack! :woohoo:

** I am also participating in +1 Day/Challenge. You start out with 1 rep of an exercise (January was squats) and then add one each consecutive day until by January 31st you are doing 31 squats. Then, February 1st started adding in pushups; again, 1 for the 1st and then adding another one each consecutive day. You still continue with the squats until February 28th then on March 1st you drop the squats but still keep the pushups and then add in lunges. This continues throughout the whole year. I haven't missed a day yet.

Both of these are in addition to my own personal exercise goals here. I am ready to "burn some blubber".:scooter:

So: here's my daily tally up to now: :woops::lifter::yoga:

2/1: stretching, 33 squats + 1 pushup
2/2: walking on treadmill 30 mins., strength workout-30 mins; 34 squats + 2 pushups
2/3: walking on treadmill 30 mins.; 35 squats + 3 pushups
2/4: strength workout-30 mins; stretching dvd-35 mins.; 36 squats + 4 pushups

Pam :comp: :coffee2:

:cheer2: Keep up the good work all! You are doing great!:cheer3:
