Post your goal and then update your post as you exercise. At the end of the month, I will announce that month's Exercise Queen and Princesses. If someone can announce the July Queen/princesses (usually on the second of the month), I would appreciate it.

My goal this month is to maintain the running I've been doing and add in some strength training. It will be a big obstacle because we will be spending the majority of the month on vacation, so this is how I will keep myself on track instead of slipping on my weight loss.

Specific goals:
At least five miles run twice a week
At least forty-five minutes on the elliptical twice a week (in New Jersey)
Pilates twice a week
Walk *somewhere* every day (in New Jersey)
