[donac]

Put me down for 450 minutes. I know it is not a lot but I am still hurting from the shingles and I don't know what I can really do yet. Maybe I can surprise myself

[::Snow_White::]

Definately not going as much as I did in September, since I failed.
Put me down for 1000 minutes. I think I can do that. :goodvibes:

[IlliniMouse]

Put me down for 1000. I have high hopes that November won't have as many obstacles as October did! I didn't think I was going to make my minutes in October. Talk about PANIC!!!

[acename]

I'd like to join. I think I'll go for 800 minutes.

[tiberius]

I'm doing a couple race events in November, and that always throws off my exercise times due to pre-event rest periods. So, let's say 1200 minutes for me.

[jlawall]

Okay, let's try another 1200 minutes........thanks for starting this!!:cool1:

11/1.................25 minutes
11/4................100 minutes
11/5.................65 minutes
11/8.................60 minutes
11/9.................40 minutes
11/12................65 minutes
11/15................70 minutes
11/16................55 minutes
11/18................70 minutes
11/19................60 minutes
11/20................65 minutes
11/22................60 minutes
11/24................75 minutes
11/28................80 minutes
11/30................90 minutes
980/1200

[dare2dream]

I always do this and fail so this time let's start small. 500 minutes for November. I should be able to do that if I start getting some consistency. That is what this challenge is about - to make me exercise until it becomes part of my daily routine.

I can do it and it will be a nice incentive and habit to take into the holiday season. I hate to take the time to exercise and then blow all my hard work by overeating.

Let's get moving!

[Evita_W]

Hi there...

I am not new to WISH but I thought that I would get more involved. :banana: I saw this exercise challenge before and have decided I need to join in the FUN! :yay: Could someone just PM on what I do next? I assume right here I post how many minutes of exercise I goal to this month.

Ok, here it goes.....1000 minutes!! Can't wait to see how everybody does...:woohoo:

WE CAN DO IT!!!! :cheer2: :grouphug:

[goldcupmom]

For everyone new here, just keep track of your minutes exercise, & update your totals periodically on the thread (ie. I'm at 230/1000). I will then calculate the percentages & update the list in the first post.

Good Luck all! We CAN do this!!!

[MickeyMagic]

I made my October goal of 1000, so I'm going to be daring and bump November's exercise goal to 1200!! :crazy:

Happy Halloween, all! :stir:

MickeyMagic

[NYcpa]

Julie - thanks toe doing this . I would like to get in for 1000 min. Need to try and lose some weight before going to Hawaii to see my daughters in December.

[crunkyjens]

Oh I wanted to get into this last month but by the time I joined and discovered WISH it was almost the end of the month! Put me in for 1000! :banana:

Jen

[jimmduck]

1500 for me.

I am doing a race the end of November - so I should be able to do it.

Linda

[3DisneyKids]

I am on vacation (in Disney!) right now, so my exercise will be a little less this month. I am in for 1500 this time around!

[NYcpa]

I spent 3.5 hours raking and hauling leaves up over the hill. I'm at 210/1000 for the month

[wwwosie]

And shoot for 600!

[njmom23grls]

I WAYYYYYY over estimated last month - so I need to be more realistic this month but push myself too - I want to keep this committment! I'm in for 700 this month. Thanks!

I'd love to join again, and am going to push to make that 1000 minutes this month. I'm at 180/1000 this week.

Thanks gold cup mom.

[goldcupmom]

OMG!!! I can't believe how behind I am!!! My DD had her wisdom teeth out on Monday & hasn't done too well. That, coupled with the election, DS19s job search, cold weather & no heat has put me WAY BEHIND in everything!

off to update now!!

[MickeyMagic]

I think I need to pick up the pace a bit to reach my goal... 255/1200

Wow, Julie, sounds like you've got your hands full lately! And no heat! :scared1: Hope your DD is better after having those wisdom teeth out. Thanks so much for taking on running this challenge once again!


So, that said, here I am 8 days into the month and I am finally showing up to sign up and post my total so far.


My goal will be 1600 min again this monmth. I know I have been way over goal the past 2 months, but I will be spending a week out of this month helping a friend through gastric bypass surgery so I know I will not have the time to devote to exercise the past 2 months so I'm sticking to the same goal I have been setting for a while.


So far I am at 450/1600 min for November. :cheer2:

[njmom23grls]

I hope your DD is feeling better - it sounds as if you've had a very full week or so.

Just updating to 360/700

[Evita_W]

well....i had a slow week this week. I have been laid up with a bad ear infection, so have not been able to workout as I usually do throughout the week. (I normally go swimming...) But, on a positive note I did have to go out yesterday and run some errands, and instead of using an ECV cart at Target, I used my own legs!! It feels good that I can do that better now. I have had trouble walking but I went and did all my errands! :)

So my minutes this week are 100! I am still trying to get to 1000, and think I can still do it! :cheer2: Total for November: 200/1000

Update time again & then hopefully will get to my WISH Journal today....ugh!!!!

DD had her 1 wk follow up yesterday & despite lots of left lower jaw pain & what she claims is a HUGE, GAPING HOLE, he says she is healing fine.

We finally have heat! For the first time in a week I made it to walk the Husky pup this morning....35 out when I left & only 40 now, but I was HOT with the sun....Gotta love the altitude. Had to hurry home as I'm awaiting a 'sign for' package UPS....we bought a video camera & docking station last Nov, never pulled the docking station out til July & it was defective, so , had to pay the labor to have it fixed....grrrr!!!

Keep on Moving all!!

And then if I wasn't tires enough today from Disneyland I went and did my water class...that is another 120 minutes of workout...

And then I met my family at Disney and walk another couple of hours!! (120 min)

Thanks Julie for keeping track of all this.

[Evita_W]

I can't believe it...I set a goal and did it!! :) I can thank my family coming and going to Disneyland this month, but I never anticipated that I would walk with them instead of renting an ECV like I usually do. :goodvibes It feels really good to reach a goal I set.

Guess I should sign up for December's so that I can reach another goal! :thumbsup2 I will have to raise it since DH and I will be headed to WDW for New Years. :yay:

Well, I must keep going for this month! Still have a week to go..can't stop now can I? :cheer2: Got to add for this week I completed another 200 minutes! This takes me OVER my goal....:goodvibes

Final total for Nov 1540/1600 min.

I missed by 1 hour! Guess there is a lot to be said for keeping track of my minutes here instead of on scraps of paper like I ended up doing this month. Part of that was because we were away from home with very limited computer access, but after we got home I never totaled up my minutes so I didn't know where I stood until I totaled everything up today. I'm a bit embarassed that I came so close and would have made it if I knew where I stood. I was really lazy yesterday and knowing I only had 60 min to reach goal would have definitely motivated me to get moving! I really lost it though, in the beginning of the month when I had way too many rest days! :eek: That will not happen again this month! I'm off now to sign up for December and I will be walking this afternoon! :sunny:
