Feb. 10 - shoveling! 20 min. = 254 min.
Feb. 11 - shoveling!! 60 min. = 314 min.

Feb. 16 - Knocking back snowbanks, shoveling, 60 min.; 624 min.

Happy end of the month to everyone!

Ground breaking month for me, I've now worked out purposefully for 35 days straight, one day was just a walk but every other of those days I did weights and cardio. That's the first time in my life I've ever stuck with a workout goal. I've been very fit in the past through my hobby but we can't all play all the time so this one really feels like a win.

Goal 1200 minutes any purposeful exercise this month

Week one total 276
Week two total 343
Week three total 261
Week four total 333

I am sooo happy to see my name in red

even though so much of it was %*^&$*# shoveling

I still did it and I still CAN do it.

onward to March!
