Hi all -

I'm new to this, but it sounds like a great way to add motivation in these dark evenings!

Best,
Sunny

we are 1/2 way to DECEMBER!!:scared1:

It's GREAT to see everyone here & moving!!

I will be leaving NM for sunny FL on Thanksgiving day....going to do Black Friday with my DSis in Orlando at the outlets!!! I had SW ticket credit that needed used by Feb, so it was a great excuse! DSis will meet us in Tampa at 8p.m. & we will head right to the outlets. (DSis lives between TPA & MCO) I am EXCITED!!!!!!!!

And, weather, money,sickness permitting, DSis & I are taking DD to MK on Sunday as a surprise early 18th birthday present. She has only been once when she was 5 & remembers NOTHING! When we camped at FTW for 1 night with the DNieces families(their kids are SO lucky - they camp there 1x/month!!) DD & I rode the monorail and she CRIED when she saw the castle because she couldn't remember it AT ALL. Poor Baby!!

So, I'll post December before I leave as we won't be back until 12/1 LATE...no flights available.

Keep MOVING!!!!

Finally updating.....it has been a CRAZY week here. Food has, as usual, been HORRID, but I'm still plugging away. Activity has been just ok.
I am leaving on Thanksgiving for Florida, so this is likely my last update until December. I'll post December before I leave, or possibly from my DSis computer.

Have a Safe, WONDERFUL Holiday......And GET MOVING!!!!!

I'm changing my goal to 1500.
But, I broke my treadmill today. I've run on it at least 5 days a week for 8 years. Go figure. The belt/tread actually folded in the middle after 6 miles of running. It's going to be a week before I get the part, so it looks like I'll be running on the road. I don't like it, but I'll live.


Good job everyone on continuing to move!!!!!:thumbsup2

I finally got in some exercise today. 30 minutes of walking plus 10 minute high-intensity brings me to 405/900. Don't think I'll make my goal, but I do have big plans to exercise in the next few days, so I'll get closer to it. Thanks again, Julie!

[chloelovesdisney]

No exercise to report today, just wanted to say thanks Julie, I am so excited to see I've made it to orange. :yay:

[pjlla]

11/23 55 minutes

11/24 25 minutes (so far)

That brings me to.....992/1350............P


I got in another 85 minutes at the Y last night. That brings me to 1077/1350. I might just make my goal!......P

[pjlla]

11/25 110 minutes at the Y

[cclovesdis]

I did 45 today, which brings me to 50% or 450/900. Can't complain. Thanks again Julie!

[::Snow_White::]

1035/1800. Getting sick for a week really knocked me out. I'd have to exercise for 200 minutes in the next four days to reach my goal and I know that's not happening. I'm just glad I would've reached it if it wasn't for being sick. Looking forward to the end of the month and starting again next month!

[chloelovesdisney]

Zero today, hope to get to the gym tomorrow. I really need to work off some of today's Thanksgiving feast.

30 minutes on the treadmill!

Sorry I haven't kept up here. I've been kicking butt, especially this last week. I am slightly over my 1000 minute goal and will be taking a rest day today but should get at least 3 more days on here before the month is over.

[pjlla]

I only managed 30 of my planned 45 minutes this morning. Will try to get in the rest later. I am at...


1308/1350............P

[perfectmatch300]

As of today I am at 1700/1800! :yay:

Only 100 more min to go, but only a few days left. If I stick to my plan I will make it over goal again this month! I like how that feels! :teeth:

I was doing really well this month with food - thatis until yesterday. Now I'd better get right back on track ASAP. I really do feel better when I am eating right.

Hi Julie and Everyone,

I did 20 yesterday plus 70 today, bringing me to 540/900. Again, can't complain.

[chloelovesdisney]

30 minutes today brings me to -

660/720

I'm planning on taking my first class tomorrow - Body Sculpt. So far I have only been doing the elliptical, treadmill and weights. I think being forced to try to keep up with the class will be good for me. Plus it's longer than I usually work out for on my own.

[cclovesdis]

I did 80 today which brings me to 620/900. Probably won't make goal unless I really move tomorrow, but I can't complain. Thanks again Julie!

[rubato]

11/24 60 minutes.

1250/1200.

I'm changing my goal to 1500.
But, I broke my treadmill today. I've run on it at least 5 days a week for 8 years. Go figure. The belt/tread actually folded in the middle after 6 miles of running. It's going to be a week before I get the part, so it looks like I'll be running on the road. I don't like it, but I'll live.


Good job everyone on continuing to move!!!!!:thumbsup2

Ok, didn't reach goal, but got close enough not to complain- I got 55 in today bringing me to 676/900. I'm thinking about setting next month's goal even higher as I'm really getting in to exercising. Thanks again Julie!

[chloelovesdisney]

Took a 60 minute cardiosculpt class today which brings me to

720/720!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next month I am aiming higher. :cheer2:

[rubato]

I did nothing today, so I didn't reach my goal. :sad1:
But, I'm happy with my 1370!
I'll go for 1400 next month, I guess.

[::Snow_White::]

That's still 475 more minutes than I usually get!
I'm very happy with that. I'll have to lower it next time.

Thanks for running this. :goodvibes
