Erin, jump rope for 10mins, do abs and stretching.

Kathy

No workout last night folks, but I plan to do something today.

How'd everyone else do?

Semo, did you beat your hubby to the tv last night?

Kathy

Hi everyone,

Just a quick check in..... didn't do any official exercise last night but did work for about 90 min on painting and so forth for a float for the Santa Claus parade does that count........lol

Have a super day.

Kim

Good Morning all,

I did 60mins of cardio and strength last night to make up for me missing Tuesdays workout.


How'd everyone else do?

Wednesday ~ November 13th ~ day 9

695 - 45 = 650

I was in training class all day yesterday, all I can say is BORING!!!

Got home and exercising was the last thing I wanted to do, but you know what, I felt much better after I did it. Then DH and I went to Wal-Mart.

Kim, you use your on judgement on counting your exercise. If I work up to a point of sweating then I think it should be exercise.

Erin, DNW, you guys are being tooooooo quite.

Gotta get to work folks!

Semo and everyone else. This challenge has helped me so much. More than I can say. Lets keep this going after the November one is done. Lets do a December and so on and so forth, what do you say?

Kathy

Sounds good to me.

DNW???? Not sure what that is for. I'm not up on all lingo. Sorry.

Wednesday 35 minutes
Thursday 20 minutes

550-55= 495 to go

Erin:

DNW=me, Dead Nurse Wife, my handle is so long everybody refers to me as DNW, the first initials. Take care and you are doing fine!!

Day 10 ~ Thursday, November 14th

650 - 50 minutes on the orbritreck = 600

Girls, I am pretty sure that I saw a glimmer of a muscle in my arm when I was drying my hair this morning. I had to do a double take but I'm sure that's what that thing was. :lol: It's only been a few months but I'm seeing results with weight lifting. WooHoo.

No exercise last night. But tomorrow, I plan on making up for it w/ an intense tape!

kathy

Finally Walked Again!!!
 

Finally got my arse back in gear after being a bit depressed for 2 weeks...walked this afternoon and felt good...it was so hot today and tonight it is freezing...damn screwy Jersey weather.

830-45=775 to go:(

I love you all but am a little envious that I'm not so motivated but I have to get motivated cause my back is killing me..everytime I stop lifting and walking my back kills me...can't stop for more than a week or I'm in very deep poops!!:o

DNW: Come on now don't be down. You know that exercise is the best thing in the world for the blues. I'm just a guilty, I know that I feel so much better when I exercise but it easy to let everything else get in the way. Right now my house is a mess and laundry needs to be done but if you want to visit me with a clean house then call before you come, :smug: cause I've been exercising!

Day 11 ~ Fri, Nov. 15th

600 - 50 = 550

I did The Firm Tough Tape 2, now I know where the name came from. Ouch, it was TOUGH.

I used Saturday as my day off so for today, November 17th ~ Day 12

550 - 50 = 500

Since 50 minutes are easier to subtract (see how this motivational thing is working) I've been adding five minutes on, you know it's only five minutes but it adds up.

After everyone post tomorrow I'll put up our totals. It's okay if you haven't been doing all your minutes. The thing that we have to remember, is that we are doing more than we would have been doing if not for the challenge. We all have things going on in our busy life but hang with us and we'll feel so much better even if it's only once a week.

Chat tomorrow.

Good Morning all!

I did 45mins on Sat
I did 45mins on Sun

Total ~ 535

DWN- I hope you get your motivation back real soon. At least your workout regardless and not letting it stop you.


Kathy

Hey girls, just updating our totals and will adjust those of you that haven't had a chance to get your minutes reported.

DNW 1080/305/775
SEMO 1035/535/500
KITKAT3NY 870/335/535
HOCKEYCHIC 990/120/870
ER130 630/135/495

Feet don't fail me now! Come on ladies we want to see this to the end of the month. If you have slacked off, then dust those tennies off and get to work! :drill: You know I love ya! :grouphug:

does cleaning house count as exercise? Guess not!

DNW: Is that you!! Good picture, and your a cutie too! BTW I wouldn't know about the house cleaning counting as exercise!:fr:

November 18th ~ day 13

500 - 60 = 440 Orbitreck

Don't ask me, I just felt like I could keep going. I wonder if it's like a runners second wind?

DWN: cute pic! I did clean the house for hours this past weekend, but didn't count it, even though I sweat a bunch. I think you could count it if you want. Your still burning calories after all?

535 - 30mins of cardio last night= 505left

Kathy
870/365/505

After re-reading my post, thought I might need to clarify my remark about house cleaning. I wouldn't know about it being exercise 'cause I try not to do house work. :lol:

Semo.....LOL

No workout last night due to back problems and probably no workout tonight. Darn it, darn it to heck! lol and I was on a roll too! Doesn't that always happen? lol

Kathy

Renewed Membership At Stinky Man's Gym
 

Well My Ladies:

Bit the bullet again and renewed my membership at the stinky man's gym. What is this gym? It's actaully called Ultimate Fitness and is on the bottom floor of a local Holiday Inn. It is not owned by the hotel...but their guests use it so I think the owners of the gym get a break on the rent.

Anyhow, only muscle guys go there and a few women, and the place isn't the greatest looking but it's huge and has lots of weights and circuit training machines, and many treadmills. Also when it is full of the muscle guys it does get a bit stinky, but these guys are so helpful...and I don't have to look at any Gym Hootches (Tiff's terminology for the leotarded, thonged skinnies!).:lol:

We women who go there are serious, so we wear serious sweat pants, cause we sweat and also get stinky.

Oops almost forgot....70 minutes of exercise at the gym this morning (cardio and weights).

775-70= 705 minutes to go.

Tkae care all!!

Congrats DNW! Back on the track or treadmill should I say.:lol: This is gross, but does your sweat smell different when you lift weights or exercise verses just getting hot when the temp is up? Mine does and I just wondered if this is normal.

Went to visit my friend at the hospital yesterday and with it being an hour drive one way I only have 15 minutes of exercise to report for yesterday. :( It was late when I did get home, then had two hungry guys waiting on me. I swear they would starve before they would look in the frig. Anyway, they do a lot of good stuff so I shouldn't complain when they don't.

Tuesday, November 19th ~ day 14

440 - 15 = 425

KitKat, sorry about your back, take care of it and don't push anything until it gets all better.;)

Gotta run.

DWN: Nice rebound. I'm glad you renewed your gym routine.

Kathy

KitKat: Thanks for the good cheer I need all the encouragement I can get. See the fat devil is always on my heels:devil:

Semo: I think we spew out more toxins when lifting weights, at least that has been my, and apparently the stinky guys experience, too. But it is a good sweat, very healthy.

Ah-A-h-h-h!! New motto: "If you're stinkin', you're shrinkin' ".:lol:

Sheakspeare has nothing on me!:

No exercise last night, due to back pain. Tonight i'm thinking of doing 60mins of cardio, probably Cardio Kicks by Cathe.

DNW: You are a funny one! "the fat devil?" hey I know that guy, when you shake him loose make sure he doesn't come snifin round my parts! lol

Kathy

Good Morning All. Only did 30 minutes last night, I'm still working on getting my house in order before Thanksgiving. And there is a hugh craft show this weekend that I want to go to, so If the house isn't in too bad of shape I can slip off for a day. Lets see....... exercise.....or.......craft show.............;)

Wednesday, November 20th ~ day 15

425 - 30 = 395

Looks as if I'm going to have to give up my free day in order to make my goal. :( At any rate, I'm doing much better than I would have other wise. Where's the rest of our group??????? We want ya back.

Kathy, take care with your back, we don't want you to push yourself then pay a bigger price later.

Got up a 5:30 To Exercise...aren't I Special.
 

Gym this morning.

705-70=635

You know I may catch up to you frontrunners!

Have a great day.

Sorry I havent' posted in so long I have exercised a total or 135 minutes since I posted a week ago. I am not getting in 30 minutes a day right now, but I am just happy that I am getting in the 20 consistently. I am sorry to have let you down on this one. I will join up the first of the month next month and make some adjustments to my schedule so that I can meet my goal. I am not going to make it this month. I am losing though (27# in 11 weeks which i am happy about), so I must be doing something right!

Erin, sorry but we are not going to let you off the hook that easy!:drill: Now here is a high five for getting your 20 min in daily. :high: We want you to keep posting your time everyday, you have not let anyone down, you know things happen and we do the best we can. Finish out this month (believe me if you stop posting until the next one starts you will quit exercising...been there and done that) and get ready for December knowing that you stuck with it thru November. :grouphug:

Thursday, Nov 21th ~ day 16
(I'm counting the days, they say after 21 it becomes a habit)

395 - 60 = 335 30 min wt lifting & 30 on the Orbitreck

Woke up at 2am this morning and at three was still wake so I put in my MBC Yoga tape (heehee hubby didn't complain that I had the tv!) and did 60 minutes.

Friday, Nov 22nd ~ day 17

335 - 60 = 275

I'll be out of pocket tomorrow, my only living Aunt passed away yesterday so I'll be in Mississippi for her funeral. Try to post on Sunday, take care.

Mornin yall!

No workout again last night. I am so bummed! I'm going to try to do 45mins of weights depending on the ole back and do 60mins of cardio tomorrow. We'll see about Sun. If I do or I don't i'll post either way.

Congrats to all who are making those minutes everyday!

Erin- Semo is right. Your not going to get away that easy! Post those 20mins sessions each day girl! OH, congrats on loosing all that weight!

Kathy

kitkat: Give your back a break and see if you can do some sort of exercise that is not too strenuous...maybe your best bet is carido for a couple of days until your back is OK again....back injuries can escalate :chin:...take care.

Erin: Don't give up before the miracle happens :wizard: ...we want you here with us..with or without exercising..you can't stay motivated if you don't talk to us right? I haven't done very well myself, but no matter how many minutes I get in it's still a positive....not a negative...negatives are weight gains...everything else is a positive...ask Semo!:smug:

Uh, excuse me? Where is everyone? No checkins since Fri? Well ladies, we have to do better than this! Everyone took the weekend off? lol Hopefully I can post some minutes later after I get off my lazy butt!

Well ladies, come post those minutes! Erin you to! 10,15, or 20mins it all counts!

I spent the weekend nursing a bad back and avoiding asthma (that totall sucks!) but today i'm feeling much better, so back on the exercise horse I go!

Kathy
