  • Hi guys,

    I only did a small amount today but for me that is good. I did 11 minutes.

    Previous Group Balance 1054 + Dogpal 11 min. = 1065 minutes for the Group

    Tomorrow I will go and learn the curves machines so that will be at least a 1/2 hour.

    Blessings,
    Dogpal
  • WOW!!! I knew we could get over 1000 in less than a week....

    1500 is just around the corner.
    300+ exer-total goal: 1065 minutes + ...... [insert yours here]

    WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!
  • My turn. I got back on that treadmill tonight!


    300+ exer-total goal: 1065 minutes + 33 = 1098 minutes so far.
  • Way to go Dogpal! You joined Curves? In a new neighborhood, maybe you'll even meet new friends there... That's where I found my new Real Estate agent

    FANTASTIC the way everybody is going at it. I'm so pumped up from reading all the great efforts that I'm going to go strut around the truckstop as soon as I get off-line... I just hope I don't get into any, you know... "trouble"

    I started off great, but have been slacking, so I better get with the program!!! I really miss being able to get on and chat with you ladies!!!

    Goal: 400 min walking / Walking to date: 27 minutes
    SOOOOO... do I add 27 min to the 1098 goal so far for 300+ total of 1125 ?

    Additional exercise: 45 minutes at Curves ( I did 3 circuits at the Curves in West Valley near SLC, Utah.)
  • Well, you guys raised the bar for me, so I did it - went walking last night for another 25 minutes... unusual for me, but I started feeling sick/queazy/wobbly while I was walking, so I headed back for the truck earlier than I had planned. Any way, I got to log:

    25 min + 1125 for a total on 300+ of 1150 so far...

    Keep up the great work everybody!!!
  • Thanks for the motivation!!! I'm off t o the health club for another 45 minutes, I'll check in again aftere work!
  • Valerie -- Yes, you got it just right! Did you want to enter your curves exercise too?? Totally up to you! Way to go getting the walking in.

    I too, am finding myself motivated to add on the minutes, for the group as well as for myself!!!

    So, 300+ exer-total is 1150 minutes + [insert yours here!]
  • [COLOR="purple"]WOW WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I want to join the club too! My December goal is 1300 minutes: 45 minutes of cardio + a 5 minute cool down 4x/week and twice a week strength training at 50 minutes or so per session.

    So far, I'm at 220 minutes:
    December 1 (Tokyo time): 50 minutes treadmill
    December 2 (Tokyo time): 50 minutes treadmill
    December 4 (Oregon time): 50 minutes strength training + 50 minutes on the evil stairmaster (the one where the stairs go round and round -- it's hard!)
    Total so far this month: 200 minutes

    Adding to the 1190 in the previous thread ==> we're up to 1390 minutes so far here!
  • Way to go shadie and elmay! We are going to be at 1500 in a hot second!

    elmay -- how did you like japan? Had you been there before?
  • Quote: elmay -- how did you like japan? Had you been there before?
    OT WARNING: This has nothing to do with exercise

    Japan is an interesting place. I manage engineers for a high tech company -- about 1/3 of my group works in Tokyo -- the rest work in Beaverton, Oregon. I had never been to Japan before I joined my current company in September 2003. Last week was my 11th trip to Tokyo.

    I have managed engineers remotely before -- it's nice to be able to meet so often face to face -- it really makes it easier to work together -- especially in "high context cultures" like Japanese culture. On the other hand, I'm not especially fond of business travel, especially when it involves 10+ hr plane rides. But, it's part of the job and for the most part, I really like my job. I just want teleporter technology or full-immersion virtual reality .
  • Add another 45 minutes water walking!!! 2 days in a row!!! WOW

    1390 + 45 + 1435!!! Is that right?
