OK, September is upon us! Time to think about your exercise goal.

I decided to make a goal of 30 mins 6 x per week. Total of 750 minutes.

Monthly Total = 880 Minutes

60 minutes weight lifting

30 minutes elliptical

30 minutes recumbent bike

Walked 30 minutes. Walked Hunter to school and walked home. Done this a few times before but cannot remember how many times so won't count them.

Monthly Total = 955 Minutes

45 minutes weight lifting

30 minutes elliptical

Question: I am graduating with my masters in december and for graduation my parents are going to get me some exercise equipment since there isn't a gym with childcare around my house. I have an elliptical but I need something else that I can work out on. I was thinking a bike... Also any suggestions for weight lifting? I'm only a little over 4 weeks out so I can't do anything right now and I am not strong to start off with. I want to focus on my arms and abs.

Congratz on earning your masters!!!!! Way to go!!!

Exercise equipment...Hmmm...that's a good question. I guess it depends on what you think you would enjoy working out on. I really don't like working out at home...guess cuz I've been a stay at home mom for so long that I NEED to get out LOL! But...I LOVE riding my bike, so you may enjoy a stationary bike. I don't know how many children you have or how old, but if you only have one or two and their small, you COULD get a comfort bike (I have a raliegh and love it) and a kiddie trailer. Kids LOVE IT! Would they spring for a Bow Flex? That would REALLY work your arms and abs!! Just some thoughts.

Well, I changed my goal...I've been afraid to change if for fear of not reaching it, but afraid NOT to change it for fear of giving myself an "out" on exercise once I reach my goal. Funny how my mind works! But, I've changed it and will do my best to reach it!
