I thought I'd start the exercise thread for the week. I know I can use all the encouragement I can get and I need someone (everyone) to hold me accountable or I just never get around to it.

Here are my exercise goals for this week:

Monday - walk 30 minutes (did this during lunch today)

Tuesday - use eliptical for 30 minutes

Wednesday - walk 30 minutes

Thursday - eliptical for 30 minutes

Friday - I have to work at my 2nd job so I'll be standing for 6 hours or so.

Saturday - rest from night before

Sunday - walk for 30 minutes

I hope to increase the amount of time I walk or the distance each week. Right now I can walk about 1 mile in 20 minutes.

Good luck to everyone!

Today I walked for 45 minutes. I made it around the walking track 3 times.

Goals:

Tuesday - 20 minutes on stationary bike

Wednesday - 30 minutes walking

Thursday - 30 minutes walking

Friday - shopping/running errands, etc

Saturday - 30 minutes walking

Sunday - probably rest (in between laundry, dinner, etc) :thumbup:

I have been SUCKING. Well, not literally, that'd be more exercise than I've been getting. LOL

I've been working on redoing our kitchen floor. Which involves removing the old floor, removing wallpaper (I tend to get carried away), painting, etc. No time for ANYTHING.

But I'm going to get on the ball. I'm going to make it my goal to run a marathon the first half of next year. Considering I can't even walk for 30 minutes without wishing i was dead, this will be no easy feat.

So, Couch to 5k, here I come!

Hi Everyone!!!

Hi all, sorry i didn't start the thread this week. had a rough start. I did manage to take an hour walk on saturday with the babies, and we repainted their room. I did most of the painting, and up and down the ladder. I was so sore yesterday. I have to get my butt in gear and start the exercise, I want the weather to get warm already.

Hey PatticNJ hope you don't mind that I started the thread. I need to do everything that I can to get and stay motivated. I hope that by putting what I plan to do in writing for everyone on here to see that I'll stick to it.

I have to update my plan for the week. I have softball game Thursday night, the first one since my surgery. Here's hoping I don't pull something or get hit in the stomach.

Did my first day of couch to 5k today. Felt great!!!

Hi everyone....I did Week One Couch to 5k today....it was better than I thought.....

I added 15 more minutes for a total of 45 min exercise today...

I started back exercising last week with all the best of intentions of continuing this week, but I have been sabotaged by sick kids! I had to come home early Monday and was home yesterday, too. Today, it rained (I've been walking for exercise). Maybe Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be my days for this week!

This is my current weekly routine at the present. If I notice my body starts to plateau with this routine, I will shake it up a bit. I am actually thinking about buying an Ellipti-kill. I'll think about it.

Exercised today at work with two co-workers...went outside..it was such a beautiful today out. We did 30 minutes almost 2 miles.
