Okay, I added 2 more miles to my day. 50/90

Zoesmama · 10-15-2005, 11:32 PM

I wasn't hear to join at the begining but I had challenged myself to 500 minutes of walking(or other aerobic exercise) and so far with my slow start I'm at 90 minutes out of 500.

Does anyone mind if I join it here??? I need all the motivation for exercise I can get. I know once I get going for 30 days I keep at it for awhile. What is it they say it takes 30 days to break or make a habit? hehe

We welcome everyone, Zoesmama! One good way to motivate is to just make yourself walk or exercise for 10 minutes. Then you'll either keep going or you won't, but at least you've done 10 minutes.

Happy Sunday to everyone!
Looks like you have been busy enjoying the nice fall weather and getting some miles or minutes in. I did a 3 mile walking video this morning at home with my stepsons' and then this afternoon went for a 5 mile walk with my stepdaughter. So I have 51 miles done for the month so far. Only have 24 more to go to reach 75 miles. Well need to go get some water and stretch my legs. They feel like jello at the moment. LOL.

Have a great evening!

Welcome Zoesmama! Good to meet you. Hanging out here and watching everyone's progress can be motivating! You're not alone in your efforts and sometimes that's good to know.

I have walked 17.25 miles so far in October. I would like to walk at least 31 miles for October. Actually more than that but I'm having a tough time working in more miles than that. I need a plan!

Evening Ladies,
I was able to do my Walk and Jog dvd this morning before going to work. (2.5 miles) and than this evening just came back from a 3 mile walk with my dh. Can you tell that I gained weight last week at my TOPS meeting and don't want to go back for tomorrow night's weigh in and not have the scales move downward? So I am working really hard to help burn off some of the extra fat that I gained and then some. Hope everyone is off to having a great week! Will update you all tomorrow evening about my weigh in at TOPS. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Have a wonderful evening.
Kerry

Dinahgirl · 10-22-2005, 11:16 AM

Haven't been able to exercise since the 14th because of joint problems. Last night I walked a gentle mile with Leslie so I'm at 20 for the month. Obviously won't make my 40 mile goal, but I'm happy to be able to walk at all!

Hi everyone. I'm new and would like to join in. I love this site & reading all of your inspiring entries! I think this will be a much needed inspiration to keep me motivated & accountable. I started this journey back in March, so far I've lost about 17 lbs. And, would like to lose another 10. It was slow, but huge for me, I have a hard time getting it to come off quickly or easy. I was motivated because of my class reunion, but this event was about a week ago, and I want to keep this strong, healthy, energetic feeling, but I seem to be the type that has to have a goal in mind to stay motivated. So, I love the idea of setting a mile goal for the month! My goal is going to be 75 miles for October. I have 54 miles logged in so far. I didn't walk today (Sunday) but got 5 miles in yesterday!!!
(I bought Halloween candy today, and it's calling me, but I'm trying hard to stay strong! I need to put it into the treat bags and staple them shut!! LOL!!!
