I would just like to be able to post my daily (or weekly) exercise just for encouragement and accountability. I will be 63 next week. My goal is to do something cardio-wise 45 minutes a day 4-5 x week. For me that will mean walking or bicycling. My band is fine but my butt is a little slow getting back in the groove. I did walk 2 1/2 miles today and it did include some hills. At this point in time I'm not interested in how fast or how far but rather doing something on a regular basis. With the cooler weather coming I will be doing some hiking in the woods. I applaud all of you who are already fit or on your way there with utilizing your band and moving your bodies. Thanks!

A beautiful day here St. Louis. Got in a nice bike ride before heading into work. Now, we need the Cardinals to win tonight and the Blues as well. Happy Wednesday to all! Life is Great!

Is today your birthday? When I read St. Louis I went to your profile and it says today! Happy Birthday! Big Cardinal fan. Cut my teeth on Cardinal baseball. Am actually from the lead belt-Flat River, Farmington area. WTG on the workouts!

Yes it is. I live in Collinsville...about a 10-15 minute drive from the arch across the river in Illinois. GO CARDS!

Rode my bike 2.5 miles yesterday and pulled a big hill. Wasn't sure if I could do it but I DID! Rode again this morning but not sure how far this ride. Beautiful weather to be outside. Hey Catfish! How about those CARDS!

HEY HEY look at them Cards! I got a fool to bet me that the Dodgers were gonna SWEEP! What to do with his money??? HeHe.

Great job on the ride yesterday and today.

I got in a couple runs the last two days. Weather is soooo nice here. May be able to get in a ride tomorrow. Keep it up!

up at 730 doing my step aerobics........not missing a day makes me feel like a zillion bucks..

no one but me can do it.....so i gotta just get on with it.

I hear that!! Would be nice if every once in a while we could just "hire" a stand-in but that's not how it works, is it? I wish I could do step aerobics.

Hi sunnysidega,

I think posting a "Daily Accountability" post is awesome! We use to have this on Obesity Help and I use to post one myself. I think what would be great is to start a new post "Daily" like the Title: How are you moving your body today: Monday?

These types of posts keeps me accountable. If you can't do it daily, I would be happy to do it Mon-Friday, but since you suggested it, it would be great if you would start a new post daily.

NaNa, do you think post here on the fitness and exercise board? I say whoever is up and at it first start the thread each day. Would you go ahead and do it tomorrow (Monday)? We can see how it goes. Whoever wants to start the thread each day could

Personal best 5km run for me today! Keep on moving everyone. It all starts with YOU!

Hi sunnysidega,

I am usually up early so I guess I will start it this morning, we will see how it goes.. I will start it in the exercise and fitness area.

I have a Winnie The Pooh core too, but I'm working on that. Got a gym membership yesterday and walked a mile on the treadmill (not that much compared to everyone else), but it was an accomplishment just to get into the gym, sign up, and go back then do a mile on the treadmill. I have that chubby girl mentality that goes along with a gym and I'm embarrassed and don't want anyone looking at me or being disgusted. But, no one even noticed me (lol). And while Winnie the Pooh is cute- I'm not going for that look lol
