The small voice in my head is saying I've got to kick it up a notch to get the results I want, so I'm really excited about this challenge accountability thread. My goal is to do weight training 2x and cardio 4x per week (Tues-Mon). All of this is above and beyond riding 3-5 days per week, except for competitions.
EDIT 6/13/11 - after experiencing classic overtraining syndrome symptoms, I'm changing my goal to: weight training 2x and cardio 3x per week (2 days rest). Gotta listen to my body!
It's my first time trying this and the heat and I don't get along very well (it's been in the mid-high 80's around here) so I'm aiming low to start off... I'm going to shoot for 1000 minutes.

I have noticed that my walking has been slacking in the last few weeks and it's really important that I keep up with it as my due date gets closer. I'm shooting for 30 mins. of walking every other day for June.
Goal: 500 mins.

I'm in but realistically won't be starting till June 5 when I return home. So that would be 30-4 = 26 days x 60 min/day = 1560 min for an hour per day in the remaining days.
Goal: 1560 min Current: 1020
Should be at:
June 5 - 20 min walking
6 - 100 min (60 yoga, 40 walking)
7 - not much; yoga plans fell through
8 - 60 min walking; yoga class too full. Starting down a dangerous path...
9 - 80 min walking
10 - 40 min walking
11 - 40 min walking
12 -
13 - 100 min (60 yoga, 40 walking)
14-22 - too much work... too little movement...
23 - 60 min walking
24 - 80 min walking
25 - 60 min yoga
26 - 120 min walking
27 - 60 min yoga, 60+ min walking
28 - zilch
29 - 60 min walking
30 - 60-min yoga class, 20 min walking
Well, OK, I did around 75% of my goal. Eh, better than 0%.
This challenge did help me stay motivated during May! Didn't lose a pound and so have to stick to phase 2 eating. Exercise goal is the same-walk or run 5km every day and do abs and arms 2 times per week.
