  • Gardenerjoy, I would like to change my goal to 900 minutes.
  • One long walk today, but it was extremely hot (37C or about 99F) with very little breeze, so I was dripping with sweat by the end of the walk. I then went home and hopped into the shower. Phew, I was tired!

    Had surgery 10 days ago and just started back with exercise today. Will be taking it slow for a few weeks so most likely will not reach my August goal.

  • Hang in there, Flower!
    What kind of surgery did you have?
  • I hope everyone is doing well!

    I had another successful EXERCISE week. I'm so glad that I did this challenge because I would have given up or been lazy many days. I'm frustrated with the scale so this has kept me sane. Hopefully, the measuring tape will be kinder to me at the end.

    Have a great last 3 days everyone!
