Smile January 2003 Exercise Challenge

Okay, here we go with a NEW YEAR AND A NEW MONTH.

For you Old Timers you know the drill, count 'em up and then pledge ‘em. Anyone new that would like to join our challenge here's what you do. Calculate the number of minutes that you will exercise for the month of January and make that pledge right here. You are only competing with yourself and the challenge is to complete the minutes on or before January 31st. Please don’t be intimidated by some of our gals total minutes, we’ll get there someday or you may be happy where you are! You may post your minutes daily, weekly or at any time of the month, we try to stay with the format of listing your minutes from the previous post less what you have to subtract and then your ending balance. (200 min – 35 = 165 then the next day start with 165 – 35 = 130) Makes it easier if everyone is on the same format. On Mondays I will try to post an update for everyone. All right, here we go!

I am pledging 690 minutes – that’s 30 minutes for everyday, Monday thru Friday, for January.

This sounds like a great way to track exercise Semo. I can use all the motivation I can get to keep moving so I'd like to join in. I will pledge 1000 minutes for the month of January.

Good Morning to everyone! I pledge 1200 minutes for the month of January.

I wanted to let you all know that thanks to the December challenge I lost 5 pounds. To do this in the month of December, with all those goodies around is a real accomplishment for me. I think the prior 2 Decembers I gained between 5 and 10 pounds that I had to face on Jan. 1st. I hope this month's challenge is as successful for myself and for everyone else that joins.

And now I'm off to the treadmill.

Good Luck!
Angie

Angry count me in

I've been lurking for about 2 weeks, and now that the New Year is here and the holidays are over, I am ready to join you. I'm going to aim for 690 minutes to start.

690 - 30 = 660

Good morning everyone.

Started my day out with the 1 mi. WATP. Will try to get to the gym later as well.

960 - 20 = 940

Good Morning Everyone! Can you believe that we are already going into the first weekend of January 2003! We have already decided that we are going to get fit this year and we are off to a good start. Welcome SkyBlue, we're glad that you decided to join our group and I think you may be suprised how much this thread will help.

I'm a morning person so I try to get my exercise in first thing (then I don't have to think about it again for the day). I'm posting 30 min (2 Mile Walk Away the Pounds) for this morning I also did some weights but really wasn't long enough to count.

625 - 30 = 595

I love to see these numbers go DOWN.
