I'm new to this particular board, but am hoping to get a good competition and you all to help hold me accountable... so ---shall we begin?

I am going to exercise for 1200 minutes in August. ALso, I just bought a BodyBugg and it should be here anyday!

Well, I haven't updated in a few days, but I have been working out!

I took Sunday off, but Monday I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then 30 minutes with my trainer. I also took the dogs for a 10 minute walk.

So far so good

Updating my list:

8/1 - 35 minutes walking at 3+mph and 2.0 incline; AND 15 minutes bicycling @ 20+mph (5.5 miles in 15 minutes); AND 1 mile walking around the block (approx. 20 minutes). Total - 70 minutes

8/2 - 25 minutes walking at 3+mph and 2.0 incline; AND 15 minutes bicycling @ 20+mph (5.5 miles in 15 minutes); AND 10 minutes on the elliptical at home after a day on my ass playing cards. Total - 50 minutes

8/3 - 30 minutes bicycling @ 22mph (11 miles in 30 minutess) + 1.5 mile cool down; AND 15 or so minutes treading Water, moderate; AND 25 minutes (1 mile) walking around Town Square in Las Vegas. Will also do 30 minutes of light stability ball work tonight. Total - 45 vigorous + 25 minutes light to moderate (ball not included)

8/4 - Day Off

8/5 - 30 minutes bicycling @ 22mph (11 miles in 30 minutes) + 1.0 mile cool down. Will also do 30 minutes of light stability ball work tonight. Total - 30 minutes (ball not included)

I have also updated my goal. I have figured out the average of 45 minutes per day for 20 and 30 days, and met in the middle. I hope to meet a total of 1125 minutes for the month of August, however many days it takes me to get there.
