So Saturday...I did:

45 minutes on treadmill (got 3 miles in yes!)

Then went to the Georgia Aquarium and walked like 3 more miles..LOL

but not counting those....darn..!

Sunday.....is my day off from exercising...

Today Monday I am planning to hit the gym at work during lunch for 30 min.

Gibson you are so funny Rock ON!

I set up an exercise ticker for myself for the month of March 2008. This is the # of minutes I need to complete my challenge...

I put it on my sig...

Today Monday 3/3/08 Treamill 15 minutes & Spinning 15 minutes thought(lunch break over)

my challenge for the week Saturday to Friday is 150 minutes...have done 75 minutes... so far so good.....

I just got to join a really great fitness center through work for FREE, so I hit it twice this weekend, and plan to go at least 4 times a week-they have Water aerobics, plus all the treadmills and bikes I could ever imagine... plus dance classes that I can go to in 2 weeks, when I am cleared for more extreme exertion!!

Ok so I've only been on the treadmill once. But I did get plenty of workout last night after my basement flooded. :rolleyes2:

Ouch Angie about the basement...but you are so right...no other exercise works better than to clean up a mess you didn't want to do in the first place...hope everything is ok and nothing was damaged.

Guess that clothes hanger (oops I mean treadmill:lol:) is going to get dusted off.

Has anyone been to Fitday.com? I signed up yesterday it lets you track your weight, your daily food journal, excercise, goals, etc. etc. Plus it's free. I'm a numbers person so it helps me to see my progress in nice little charts.

This is a fantastic thread.

Yesterday I walked 30 minutes up and down the dorm halls The students thought I was a little nuts but who cares. Today I am going to Curves.

Excellent....

Megan I have visited fitday.com......I sort of like it..but I think I will stay with sparkpeople.com.

Today I got on the treadmill did 35:25 (1.67 miles I think). Was a bit in pain on some of the incisions today don't know why...so I took it a bit slow. But got 'er done!

4Jin I never heard of sparkpeople before--checking it out now. Thanks for the heads up:thumbup:

I love sparkpeople....Is kind of like this site but for anyone who is loosing weight..

Last night got 15 minutes walk in plus then went to the mall and walked for a while....(not counting that) so I have done 125 minutes of exercise and my goal is 150 per week I have until Friday to complete the 150.

I have not posted since my initial challenge goal.

My goal was 15 min 4x a week and that was Friday???I think. So here it is:

Friday 25 min

Saturday 45 min to and from the park (plus played with kids at park)

Sunday 1 hour of yard work

Monday nothing...well cleaned....does that count??

Tuesday 20 min walk

BTW when I walk I push a 20 lb stroller with 2 BIG babies in it (30 lbs each)

I feel GREAT !!! I am down 10.6 lbs since my initial consult and 7.4 lbs since surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

I can't wait to get into pilates, yoga and kickboxing!!

Lets keep it up victorious valentines!!!!

CAN"T FIGURE OUT THE TICKER THING!!!! I can create it but when I cut and paste the link it does not work....any ideas?

choose the bb code not the html code.
