I am ready for this. I am happy to see it is open to anyone. Do we follow a specific routine or just exercise and report our minutes???

Thanks Brenda

The beauty of this group is that you can do what you want. We will just be there to motivate you, encourage you, and Celebrate your successes. I report mine by hours, some report by sessions, and I think it is Becky that has a very complicated reporting, but we love her still the same! So pick what you think you can do and maybe up it just ever so slightly to challenge yourself. Welcome. This really is a fantastic group!

Alright I am in. Going for the same 25 hours this month though I really am hoping to get in a little more. However I would rather beat the goal that fall short!

Oh and I think I figured out what is causing the port pain...the stupid belly! I didn't have my spanx type undergarment on all day yesterday or the day before and I was really active and with all the extra flab that is hanging on, it was really pulling on it, not to mention the very hard workout that I had on Sunday. So back to the sucker-inner for the day. Guess I am going to have to wear it all the time now. Probably the reason my back hurts too! AHHHHH I am falling apart. PS consult is FRIDAY!!!

Ok, I'm in, this is the first challenge I am joining. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and walk the others. What do I do, log that in everyday? Looking forward to joining you all to a healthier me and you!

Hi Brenda and Jeanne,

Glad you're joining us -- WELCOME :puke::smile:!

You can log your exercise as often as you like and report it in whatever way or format you choose. Most of us set an exercise goal at the beginning of the month, as doing so seems to help us keep our focus.

Good luck -- we look forward to having you in our group!

I am definitely in!!

Today I went to the gym and did the eliptical for 1 hr, was drenched when I got off.

then did weights and some leg machines. Came home and walked the dog for 1/2 hr. He's going to love this challange!

Took my 4.5 mile walk today. Have a great night!

1.5 hours of cardio and weights. Ahhhh you have to love that jello feeling in the muscles!

Hubby and I played tennis last night for about an hour. I would probably burn a little more if he did not play tennis like Barry Bonds. I did however get some cardio running to the other courts to apologize to other players and retrieve our balls. I think we will stick to raquetball. At least the ball cannot leave the court there. :thumbup:

Count me in again.

I'm going to start logging the hours I spend at the barn, tossing 60lb bales of hay around and riding the wee beastie. Otherwise it looks like I'm sitting home on my arse, eating bonbons and watching TV.

I rode for an hour yesterday. Today, I walked/ran 40min/3.2 miles on the treadmill and 10min/4 miles on the bike.

Ummm...Yeah...throwing 60 pound bales of hay makes my workout routine look like a pansy! I would definetly count it!

Welcome to all the new challengers. This really is a great group of core people.

I'm on board for my usual - 20 cardio sessions and 8 weight sessions. When my parents go home (hopefully by the end of April) I'll have more time so look out come May!

I did cardio today.

4.5 mile walk today. On duty tonight so off to the first aid squad.

Alright so I only did a half hour tonight, but this was the most monumental half hour of exercise ever. It wasn't hard, it wasn't exhausting, I just did it. Wed are always hard for me for some reason and today was no exception. I forgot my gym clothes at home so I didn't go right after school and that is usually the death of my workout. Today was no exception. Well I got home, fixed and ate dinner, and the calculated my calories and realized I hadn't gotten enough. So I though I would make some fruit and granola dessert that I like...well I ran out of granola. So what did I do...I went to the store and got some. No big deal you say?!?! I RAN TO THE STORE. That is right instead of grabbing my car keys, I grabbed my tennis shoes and put on my gym clothes and ran to the store, got my granola, and ran home. The whole thing took just over 1/2 hour. The grocery store is about a mile away so I didn't do too shabby. Like I said, it wasn't a stellar workout but if someone had told me 8 months ago to run to the store to get granola, I would have laughed at them, got in the car, drove to dairy queen, bought a large cookie dough ice cream with extra cookie dough, and devoured the entire thing in minutes. But now... RUNNING TO THE STORE...FRUIT AND GRANOLA. Miracles really can happen!
