Calling all Exercising Beachers

Spring has sprung and all those heavy clothes are heading for storage. Tank top season is almost upon us, are you ready?
Whether you are new to exercise and just getting into the groove or a seasoned exercise queen, staying accountable can really make a difference.
So come on in and join us this month.
This is the place to set your goal, stay accountable, and cheer fellow Beachers on for that extra hour, mile, or pose.

Just set your goal then check back in each day.

I'm in too - but since I just started "supercharged", I'm following the plan in the book. My goal is to "Follow the Plan - no slacking".
1- Interval Walking - Done!
2 - Family issues - argh..
3 - Interval Walking - Done! (This was a big deal because it was a busy day, but I stayed on Plan!)
4 - Half hour walk with DH and Dog.
5 - Nothing - Grrrr

6 - Interval walk/jog!
7
8 - Interval walk/jog!
9
10 - Interval walk/jog!
11
12 - Grr- dd needed to go shopping - took up my running time.

13
14 - interval walk/jog
15 -
16- Not formal exercise, but moving beds between 2 rooms. I think that counts!
17 - Extended walk/run. Doubled my distance, but didn't quite double my time!

Note 5/11: Doing great on the walk/jog thing, not so good at filling in the core exercises. I think I need to start doing those immediately upon arising. **add to goal**

OK I am going to try posting again

Goal: SOMETHING every day, even if I have to count a 10-minute walk. That about sums up how bad I am currently... basically I have no excuse if I am at home and if I am away I can at least get a walk in.

Plan: More incidental movement (walking/stairs). More dedicated exercise (yoga/jogging/weightlifting).

May 1 - 40 min walking, 60 min yoga
May 2 - ARGH already off plan ... was in my gym clothes, then a bunch of things happened and it was 10 pm and I was starving so I ate instead ... oh well
May 3 - 40 min walking, 60 min yoga
