Yesterday I did some walking & a bit of weights (its going to take me awhile to really get into exercise LOL)

60 minutes treadmill intervals with stretching

Does planting 200+ tulip bulbs (in heavy clay soil) count? Sure felt like a workout to me while I was doing it this afternoon! :D

Hi, I'm new here and really need to start being accountable. So I thought I would post here and in the daily food thread. I haven't worked out since January so I'm going to start slow and try to build from there. Just hit 200 lbs. for the first time in my life and I'm not happy about it. I have set some initial small goals - 30 min. of cardio 3x per week to start. Once I've got that down I will add weight workouts 2-3x per week, and then build from there.

This seems like a great supportive group - thanks for being here!!!

I exercized today!
 

I did 30 minutes of a Leslie Sansone tape, plus the usual 20 minute morning dog walk. (I don't really count the dog walk as exercise, but we did move pretty briskly this morning!) I'm just happy I got started. It felt good to move a little bit again, for the first time in a long time.

I walked around the lake at the park for 45 minutes while my son was at pre-K. How nice it is to be doing something for myself without being bothered by my little guy for 45 min. I enjoyed the peace and the walk. Hope to try again tomorrow.

I'm very proud to report that I met my goal for October. I just joined this site earlier this month. I challenged myself to walk 75 miles. I had to walk 6 miles yesterday (took me 3 different workout times to squeeze it in), but I pushed myself and got it done! I ended up with 75.5 for the month! It feels so good knowing that I accomplished my goal. I haven't had any weight loss though, so now this month I really need to work on trying to eat less, I thought I was already eating well, but evidentally not good enough. But, I can see a difference and definitely more toned, so I'm not too discouraged, I keep reminding myself that muscle weighs more than fat and I know I FEEL much better! And, I did have a friend ask me last night if I'd been losing weight! That's always nice to hear!!!
I'm loving this site, and I wish everyone a healthy and active November!

63 minutes of circuit training and treadmill intervals. Done! :)

Great job, everyone! :carrot:

10/31/05 Firm Tape - Maximum Cardio Burn - 60 min.

64 minutes - circuit training & treadmill intervals :tread:

11/01/05 - Aerobics Tape - 30 min.

Well, I got off my butt finally....I walked the stairs (20 of them) for 10 minutes at my office. Boy was I huffin and puffin! I'm going to do that once a day for a week, then work up to twice a day.

Gotta start somewhere!

30 minutes of a Leslie Sansone tape (one mile segment).

I didn't get to workout on Nov. 1st; But, on Nov. 2nd, did the WATP for AB's w/ belt for 2 miles in the morning and walked on the track w/ a friend for another 2 miles last night!
Nothing to report yet today, but I'm off to try Leslie's "You can do Yoga" for the first time. A friend loaned me the tape to try....she also sent the Pilates and AB's versions, hopefully I'll find time to check out all three soon! And, I plan to walk at the track again tonight.

61 minutes of circuit training and treadmill intervals. :wl: :tread:

45 minutes of carting wood to pile, then stacking. (wish there was a smiley for that)
