Thanks for hosting AGAIN! I admire your dedication!

I am committing to 1350 again... I just went over this goal by a bit in November... and I'm sure that it will be even HARDER to fit in the exercise in December... so I'll stick with that number.

12/1 55 minutes at the Y

Well, I didn't make it to 900 minutes last month, but I've been really into exercising lately, so I'm going to set my goal at 1350. That averages 45 minutes in 30 days. I know I won't exercise on Christmas or Christmas Eve, depending on when we celebrate the holiday. So, I did 20 minutes yesterday and 50 minutes today bringing me to 70/1350. Off to a good start...

Thanks for hosting this Julie. I'm going to do 1000 min this month.

I haven't done this challenge in a while, and when I averaged my past 3 months using the wii fit for exercise, I did about 700 min/ month. When I was doing these challenges, I really pushed to reach my goal, so I'm back to do it again.

Good luck everyone!

I missed last month's exercise challenge. I was at WDW and then on a 3-day Wonder cruise at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, I came back sick and ended up not exercising for 3 weeks. I am still trying to build back up. I'll go for 1000 for December.

Glad everyone is here! I'm about to go update.

Personally, I'm still trying to find my focus again. After almost 6 mo of hives now, I'm really FAR off track with eating....and all the antihistamines I take daily have NOT helped!

Oh well....still plugging away......Exercise (or Activity as my bodybugg calculates it) isn't my problem....it's FOOD!!!

Well.... despite my best intentions, I got no "real" exercise yesterday. We spent the morning at the mall so that DD could finish her shopping (although I bet I lapped the entire mall two or three times!). And then for the afternoon we wrapped and finished the tree and watched the Survivor finale. No real exercise, but I barely stopped moving all day!

Food has been bad, but I guess it hasn't been as bad as it could have. I have really tried to keep the cheating in check, but there have been more cheats than I'd planned.

Julie, did I see a huge number of exercise minutes for you this month?! 4011 min is pretty impressive! You've really rocked this month for exercise! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

12/29 50 minutes (foot hurts, had to stop early)

That brings me to 1386/1350. I did it! Woohoo! Will set a mini-goal of 45 minutes per day for 12/30 and 12/31, just to give myself a little "end of the month" push. Hopefully this foot pain will subside so that I can keep this up......P

Well... it was a bit of a struggle, especially today, but I got in 50 minutes yesterday (running on the TM at home) and 45 minutes today (walking from Gate 1 to gate 22 and back again.... and again and again waiting for DD's flight to come in).

That brings me to 1481/1350 for December. I'm happy that I was able to keep it up during this busy time of year.

Thanks so much Julie for running this challenge. Kudos to all who have made their goals, and even if you haven't reached goal, you still tried through such a busy month.

Late for my final check-in, but doing it to keep me honest.

I finished at 1700/1800 min for the month.

Didn't help that several of my regular classes were cancelled or turned into holiday celebrations, but no excuses! I could have made up the time on my own, but didn't. Still managed to get pretty close to goal so I'm just going to start fresh in Jan, hopefully doing better than I have the first few days of the month. :earseek:

Just back from chilly Florida, only to return to frigid Minnesota! My final for December is 970/1000, just short of my goal. I should count the thousands of steps (literally) I took in WDW, but I won't.
