Thanks for the welcomes. Here is where the accountability hits the road:

Wednesday, I was on plan with a 20 minute cardio walk/jog and then about 45min weight training for total body. But last night was a bust.. I should have done my C25K run which is 25 minutes or about 2 miles for me. I had some afternoon appointments and because my schedule wasn't normal, I didn't go out . Here's the thing, this is my first week where I've set my goal to increase my exercise through more cardio and WT. I know that this is a set up for a lifetime and there will be scheduling conflicts, etc that I will need to work around. On one hand, I know that if I go right back on plan the next day - no harm, but if I pick up complacency along the way, that will be a recipe for trouble. I am very near my weight goal, so I'm spending a lot more focus on discipline of the exercise leg of weight management, so I'm taking this accountability more to heart than normal. Thanks for being there for me.

Tonight I will go do my C25K run for 25 minutes along with some walking for 15-20 minutes before and after. And then tomorrow will do some light cardio with WT. Sunday I will try for an active rest day and see if the family wants to go biking or something.

Does it use extra calories to type with a cat on your arm? He's a big cat.

Dear Susan Schlump,
Are you doing bicep curls with that cat on your lap? If so, it does count as exercise...
Sincerely,
Ilene

Good for you for biking Susan, I biked too... It was very humid here today ...

Dear Ilene Go-getter,
No but he got in the way when I was doing tricep kickbacks. Tricep bop Max ??? Humid? Not here. It was a pretty nice day. Sprinkled a bit at lunch time.

I did 20 minutes of arms. I am out of practice!

Hi~
I love the idea of exercise accountability.
I'm currently trying to do the couch to 5K plan but I'm not in good enough shape so I'm doing my own week 0 of 30 min of 1 min jog, 1.5 min walk. So thats what I did today.
