Hello Fellow Victorious Valentines!!!!

Since we are recently banded I just wanted to do an exercise challenge to get our journey going.

It is a walking challenge. (since that's all we can do for now)

This is an individual challenge.....

If you dare....committ yourself....to exercise certain # of minutes per day.

Hope you dare to join me!

Patty made a great suggestion....

To make each of us accountable to reach our goals...we should post everyday...

Even if you did not accomplish or do your exercise we should still post it..

Accountability is what it is all about.

I think a buddy list would be good for us since we are starting at the same time. We can talk about things we are going through.

I'm lucky. My doc gave me full clearance for all exercise except for VERY heavy lifting. I started back at my strength training class and did a good jog/walk. Now I just have to do it at least 4 times a week!! So, I'm all in!!

Hi guys, I am two weeks out (on Tuesday). I have a Dr's appt Monday and hope he will give me clearance to start exercising. We were told not to do anything other than very light not exercise type walking after surgery. I will join in as soon as I know what I can do. I'm hoping for at least 15 minutes so that is what I will put for now.

Also, I just read somewhere that if you walk, then once a week, you should try to do a powerwalk so that your body doesn't get used to the same thing. I can't wait until it warms up. I hate walking in the snow!!

I only made it 15 min today, but I'm going to do some light yoga in a few min, I think.

Dang you girls! I guess I'm in but I don't like it. :drool::laugh:

It's a meager offering, but a heckuva lot better than what I used to do!
