  • Walked my dog today for 40 minutes. It is a beeYOOOOOtiful day here in TX. I am so glad to be off work.

    I am almost 25% of the way to my goal already. Maybe I should have set it higher, but probably not. I am off work this week so it is easy for me to get a daily walk in. I know when I am working I struggle with making it a daily habit. Iknow I can do it, I just haven't gotten to that point yet.

    Have a great day everyone.

    GROUP TOTAL 1537 + 40 + 1577
  • Xena -- don't worry if you make that goal early -- just keep movin'!

    Zelma -- I don't think you cheated at all -- you still moved!!

    I got in an hour today! Walked the dogs, and then went right downstairs on the treadmill... finally, did my back exercises! I liked how I felt at the end!

    Group total ~ 157 + 60 = 1637 minutes!
  • hey all

    personal 60+30= 90 min

    300+ total = 1637+30= 1667 minutes!

  • I did 35 minutes on the treadmill, but missed on the weights again tonight. That brings my personal total to 155.

    The group total is now 1667 + 35 = 1702
  • Did 30 minutes at Curves today...brings me to 60 min total. I wasnt sure if the 1st 30 min I did was included in the group total...? If so, that brings the total to: 1702 + 30 = 1732
  • I looked back and I didnt add my 1st 30 min to the total...oops!

    So, the total is actually 1732 + 30 = 1762!
  • ok did 15 min strength training..boy my muscles are screaming for help lol

    My goal 80 + 15 = 95 min so far going for 500 whoohoo

    Group Total 1762 + 15= 1777

    whoohoo 3 7's i am going to vegas lol
  • I took a nice 25 minute walk along the river by myself today. The path is great, because it has hills & flat areas, and is just a beautiful view, so it was easy to get in the 25 mins...at quite a brisk speed, I might add. Brings my total to 145, and the group total to: 1802
  • Yesterday I did 30 minutes at the gym. I've had a few busy days so I haven't been able to do my normal workout. Hopefully today will be better but it doesn't look like it. *sigh* So our new group total is:

    1802 + 30 = 1832
  • Getting on the bike was so hard for me this morning! And getting up yesterday was a disaster - I stayed in bed instead of working out. This time change is really kicking my butt! It's like this every Spring! I don't know why on earth I didn't plan for it when making my workout schedule!!! I mean, I've been living in the country since 1988 - you think I'd gotten used to it by now. ::: sigh ::: Well, I guess I will just have to be OK with being behind my schedule this week. I'm sure I'll find ways to make up the time throughout the month.

    OK, enought whinning! ::: grin ::::

    Group Total: 1832 + 60 = 1892
  • Did 45 minutes aerobic with my BL DVD.

    Group Total: 1892 + 45 = 1937
  • Ladies -- don't worry about being behind so early in the month. Last month I was sick and did NOTHING 4 of the first 5 days. But I did it. Just add a few extra minutes when you get back to it. Make that commitment!!
  • Pretty normal day yesterday except that I didn't get to walk laps with the kids again because I was out shopping for books instead (can never have enough books or do enough shopping I say) and the kids had Phys Ed with the specialist.

    So... 30 mins on the treadmill in the morning and 30 mins on the bike in the evening.

    Personal Goal... 1485 - 60 = 1425 mins left of my March goal of 1800.

    Group Total... 1937 + 60 = 1997

    I think that we are all still doing really well seeing as we are often facing other problems in our lives. It is just great that we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and just get back on with it.

    Take care,

  • MariaLucia - Don't be so hard on yourself. I can't imagine right now getting up in the morning to exercise. Staying in bed is always so much more appealing! Where are you from, BTW?

    Zelma - You can definitely never have too many books!

    I made it 25 minutes on the elliptical and did another 35 minutes on the treadmill. That brings my total to 215.

    The group total is now 1997 + 60 = 2057
  • ok i walked on my lunch break today.,, it was nice and cool!!
    I walked for 25 minutes.

    My total = 95 + 25 = 120 minutes ...380 min to go to reach goal!

    Group Total 2057 + 25 = 2082
