:welldoneclap:Thanks! It seems I'm doing more work around the house here as there is quite a lot of yard work to do. I would have loved to have gone walking today but ended up doing at least 4 hours of yardwork again. Hope you're all doing well.

Hey guys! I am a little late getting in on this, but here I am. I started the C25K again today! So, here is my goal:

C25K- 3 days a week (30 minutes each workout)

Weights- 2 days a week

That probably doesn't seem like a lot, but I just want to focus on C25K right now. In the past, I have gotten myself worn out, trying to do more than I should. Usually, I end up getting so worn out that I quit altogether. This time I want to get it right!

You are doing fabulously! It just matters that you are up and moving about. It really does count! Next month you should add that to your challenge, that way you are getting the proper hurrahs for it.

I went with my Mom to her last Dr. Appt. Her Dr. agreed that housework and yardwork does count to the "move it" tally.

Georgia Girl!! Welcome my friend!! :thumbup:

I'll add you to the challenge, and no worries you are starting up late. I am going to make it a point to have a monthly challenge. I believe it really is keeping me as motivated as I can be. I only wish more would sign up!! It's nice to have as many as possible cheering each other on.

I totally agree with you on the idea of pacing ourselves. I have been known to just poop out and take an enormous amount of time off. I'm really trying not to do that this time. I may have even set the bar a bit too high for me this month, but a new month approaches and I'll adjust it then.

Best of all that's good ladies!

Oh BTW... I'm adding 2 miles to my tally and 45 minutes cardio. :thumbup:

See you all next time!

Thanks for the welcome! I totally have an "all or nothing" mentality. I am trying to work on that, but it's hard to change after years and years of being that way.

Everyone is doing a great job!!

Hello, glad to see us all sticking to our challenge no matter how challenging it is (no pun intended). I did 25 minutes of walking, 1 hour yardwork and 40 minutes housework.

lol:tongue:

[beachcitygirl 5]

Walked 30 min. I have only lost 22 pounds, and I already feel so much better, and have so much energy! I am thankful for this challenge. I am the type of person to exercise really good, for a month then give up. I find the accountability here is really helping. Can't wait for next month. I just got the ok for Water class. Thanks for the support and motivation.

Thank you mousek! You are doing great!

Today I did W1D3 of C25K (about 30 min). Haven't gotten any weights in yet. I will try to get busy on that Monday. I think I'm going to stay W1D3 of C25K for a few more workouts. I'm having to jog outside and it's hot as hades here. Makes it much harder!
