My ultimate goal is to do cardio morning & evening and weights 3 x's per week. I'm having a hard time getting up at 5 am, but I am doing it in the evenings. I set my alarm every morning, however, I just push snooze and go back to sleep.:notagree

i do mine workouts in the evening because i am not a morning person but maybe i will start getting up with my husband at 5:30 and doing the first workout then :faint:

She has done great and looks like a million dollars. So I'm trying to do her plan. Its tough, but it obviously works! I want her body!

I'm in, my goal is to work out 5X a week for March, then for April I'll set up a bigger goal with the better weather (hopefully!)

March Goal: Walk 5 days a week for at least 40 min.

[Inner_me 1]

Okay, and then comes me. My goal is to go to the gym at least 3 times a week for the month of March. My hidden goal is 4x. So far this week, I've gone once. I intend to go tonight, so I will let you know how it turns out.

Ok, My goal is to walk 30 minutes 5 times/week. On the "lucky / easy" days I'll do the treadmill at the Gym for 30 minutes plus 20-30 minutes on the weight machine. (lucky because our terrain here is forest and hills - YUK!)

Hi! Please add me to the exercise challenge. I was banded 1/30/07. My goal is to go to the gym 5x this week. I went 3x already. I did 45" on the eliptical and 20" on the bike. Gigi

Gigi - girl you go! 45 min on the Elliptical is great, I'm only able to do 20 min.

Okay, I'm so motivated to exercise, I've been twice, Monday & Tuesday night. So today, on break, I take a 15 min break and walk 1 mile briskly. So, I'm going to take every opportunity to get as much exercise in as possible. I will also go exercise tonight at the gym.

Lets report on Monday's what we accomplished the previous week - i.e. how many times we exercised, no matter what type of exercise, exercise is exercise. We all just need to challenge ourselves. Keep a promise to ourselves and exercise. The Lap Band book I have says we should get 30 min every day. Or strive for 5 x's a week. I'm striving for that, but I think we have to build ourselves up to that.

In the past, I find that when I exercise, the more I exercise, the more I crave it. It starts to become second nature to you. Its just hard getting into the swing of it. It takes 3 weeks to make it a habit, so remember that.

Hey girl, welcome! Your kicking some butt with working out already! What is YBB?

If you guys want, we could post meals. I post mine in my journal (my link is at the bottom of my signature). We can either keep a our own journal with our meals, or if you guys want to post it here, we can do that too. Whatever you guys want.
