I just made my ticker longer. I only did one quick walk up town for the mail and another errand. Just didn't fit very well between home, groceries and work.

I hear that Susan, time is often my problem and a walk is better then nothing.

Well, I didn't make it today, just couldn't drag myself out of bed. I am going to go tomorrow. I swear!!

Ilene, you make me tired just to read your plan, where do you find the time and energy to exercise as much as you do?

I'm finding the mornings are getting shorter and shorter this week. Could be because I'm sleeping a little later each day So all I did was scurry around on foot, running errands. Over 2.7kms ... not bad!
I did use a ball and a band to while away the hour 'What Not to Wear' was on. That oughta be good for something.

sodiuimlightbaby: I have tried morining workouts and you're right...I do feel great afterward. I just can't seem to get the motivation up to actually DO them in the morning. Once I do, I feel great but making myself start the workout is 98% of the battle for me. We also run a business from home and the phone seems to ring everytime I start a workout...then I am all breathless when I answer (makes people wonder).

I don't think I can pretend that this thread doesn't exist any longer. I am adding an exercise ticker for formal exercise. It's pathetically unambitious but if I don't put something up I'll just keep going with my current plan. The zero plan.

You totally knacker me out - just reading your posts Right. I'm off to do some exercise then. Even if it's 10 minutes it's 10 mins more than I've done in the last few weeks. Slinks off, filled with a sense of dread...

I'm breathless just reading what all you did today, Ilene! My heart gets to racing, like 180 bpm just from stepping on the treadmill, no really! I'm working with a trainer so we can condition my heart to tolerate more exercise & I see her 3 hrs/wk & she kicks my butt! On the other days I'm happy to walk 35-60 mins at about 3.5 mph. Over that & I have to stop every 2 minutes & catch my breath. Pitiful, isn't it? But it's been that way forever, even as a child.

So, on my best days I'm not burning off a meal, you almost burned off a day! You go!
