May Exercise Challenge - Bloom where you are planted!

[goldcupmom]

As usual commit to as few or as many minutes of exercise as you wish to challenge yourself to do. Please post here something like "I'm at 21/400" or just 310/1000. That way I don't have to search to add up all your numbers.

I'll update as I get the chance. This month I will be scoring again most of the month, then in May I will be scoring online from home up to 50 hours/week. Busy, busy.....

10% - Getting Started!
25% - On your way!
50% - Half-way there!
75% - You CAN do it!
90% - Just a little bit more!
100% - You DID it!
Over the top!

I have just a minute to come on and say that I am committing to 1500 minutes again this month. I would have bumped it up, since I went over my goal for April, but I will be away for 4 days and don't plan on doing any formal exercise during those days. I'll try to BBL to catch up...........P

[carmiedog]

not sure how this works...do we update daily? I'll figure it out, I guess!

Y'all's numbers are intimidating to me, but I need some exercise accountability.

So...May goal 500 minutes (blush)

eta: my first 15 done! 15/500

[NancyIL]

I got home from vacation today and will probably go away over Memorial Day weekend. So - I'll aim for 1300 minutes this month.

[::Snow_White::]

+60 yesterday.

I know how you feel but don't be intimidated - no one is comparing or judging, do what's best for you. I felt that way too and I started at 360 minutes, 30 minutes 3 times per week. I almost didn't start on here because I felt my numbers were too low...kind of crazy looking back at my thinking that. I really like posting here though, I like seeing my numbers go up and the pretty colors Julie makes them. :goodvibes Congrats on your first 15 for May!!!

79 yesterday...still walking because of my back but I'm moving...:)

[mikamah]

I'm in for 1000 this month. Didn't make my 1200 last month, so I'll go back to my tried and true 1000.

I'm at 225/1000 so far.

Thanks julie.

[lizzyb5280]

Spent five hours rolling myself around the zoo today! I know it can't count one for one, but I figure that probably equates to about 90 minutes of actual exercise time based on the fatigue my arms are feeling. So that makes me 110/500!

[goldcupmom]

Off to update.

I am supposed to begin online training for scoring standardized tests at home today, but can't login & the people in Iowa aren't in until 8, so quickly getting on here. I need to score 150 hours between now & the 28th.

I'm usually a SAHM to DS24, DS20 & DD18, but March - May I score standardized tests at a scoring center & this year can continue some at home....if it works! So going to be a super busy month.

My activity will drop this month, I'm sure, & my numbers are so high because I use what my BodyBugg counts as 'moderate activity'.....burning 3+cal/min.

I love my Bugg, but am BAD with food and stress...oh well, someday I will get to goal......

Welcome to all!!

[Yunchman]

UPDATE!

I'm at 150/750 so far this month, time to step it up! haha

Normally, no problem but I've got a really sore left hip that I need to take it easy on. I'll have to plan activities around it that won't irritate it even more. Guess my upper body will be getting a good workout over the next few days!

I really had my doubts after injuring my left leg, but I was determined not to miss a goal that I was so close to making! Guess that's why this challenge works! Thanks, Julie! :cheer2:

[carmiedog]

I had trouble getting going and had a late start my first month participating. But I didn't forget. I finished at an embarrassing 135/300. :o BUT, since I did finally start moving the last few days, I'm ready to give it another go for June!

eta: crap! my goal was 500?!? I did even worse than I thought! :crazy:

[tiberius]

I finished the month at 1454/1250.

[cyndisun]

I only made 1000/1500. But I'm ready to tackle June!

[goldcupmom]

Last update for May done. Off to June!
