This is the brand-spanking-new exercise accountability thread for the first month of the new year. Whether you walk, run, swim, cycle, bellydance, or shred, let's start off the new year right!



Welcome to the exercise accountability thread for January 2009. This thread is to keep up accountable and keep us motivated and above all to keep us moving! All are welcome, and feel free to join the thread at any time. Some people post a goal for the month, some just keep track of what they do every day. It's not important how you do it, we just need to do it!!
