Question to all of you: My goal is set so that I decided to only count additional exercise into it. So, walking 10 minutes to the restaurant where I would have lunch does not count as I do that nearly every day anyway. But walking home instead of taking the train does count. So, now the weather is nice and I started to get the bike out. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to work and 15 minutes back on my bike. Ideally this is going to be everyday exercise during the summer months. So - do I count it as exercise or do I not? Would love to hear some opinions!

If I could have used another form of transportation, and I walk or bike, then I count it, even if it is not a huge distance. I like seeing how many minutes I am moving especially when I am struggling with the food/weight. It's your challenge, so I would say whatever works for you. You can definitely increase your goal if you like.

52 min on the arc this morning. Think it's time to move up a level on my workouts for some higher legs and more resistance. YEY!!

I'd raise your goal and count it. Like, maybe bump up your amount to 1500, or some number slightly above your exercise goal and everyday exercise. This weekend, I included two 70-minute couch to 10k sessions, long walk to food store, three other shorter non-typical walks (instead of driving), and another two-mile walk because my toddler fell asleep in her stroller. Yesterday, it added up to over 10 miles alone!

If I could have used another form of transportation, and I walk or bike, then I count it, even if it is not a huge distance. I like seeing how many minutes I am moving especially when I am struggling with the food/weight. It's your challenge, so I would say whatever works for you. You can definitely increase your goal if you like.

Thanks for the feedback!! I think your suggestions of just putting up my monthly goal makes sense. Rose, I also like your thinking of counting the biking/walking if I could have used another form of transportation! So, I decided to up my goal to 1200. This will be an added incentive to actually use the bike!

So my new result with yesterday's biking and today's Body Revolution:

DS and I barely made it out the door to walk and it started raining. Had to call my DH to come get us while we waited under some trees! Did a little bit of crunch stuff and lunges when we got back home. Oh well - better than nothing!

Today 5K to 10K had me do a 45 minute steady run. I did it at 5 mph, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. Also some assorted strength exercises.
