Took the last two days off, but got in a run / walk tonight - 44 minutes

135/1100

 

[5xdisneyfans]

Yesterday I did 50 minutes walking and another 45 today.

32:40 for 3 mile run. In this case less minutes is good. I'll round up to 33 since I had to walk down the driveway after

4 mile run tomorrow...oof

[hmack]

checking in with a total of 435/1600

I shaved two minutes off my 3-mile loop time since Monday. That shows what a little less morning humidity and a stubborn can-do spirit will do for you!

Happy "Fabulous Friday"!!!!

We have many returning from last month or after a break, and 9 who are brand new to the group!!

90% of team members have reported in with exercise at least once this month.
Our biggest reporting day so far was Monday, August 3rd, with 69% reporting in, and 1,246 combined minutes!

[hmack]

YEAH TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PollyannaMom]

Oh, and my own minutes for yesterday - 35.

That's 20 minutes of a "real" walk by myself and a half hour of following the "furry princesses" around the yard...adjusted to 15 minutes of actual walking, 'cause these are distracted by these and these and these ...)

So I'm at 110/620.

240/700 - up at 4:30 every morning this week so far to get my workout in!

Nice work getting up at o'dark thirty to meet your goals!

45 minutes of low impact cardio and some stretching. I have a cold and wasn't in the mood for more hardcore exercising.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

32 minute run this morning - it's been cooler in the mornings, so much better than this heat and humidity!

Cooler temps are so, so nice for running!

25 minutes of walking again today. I feel like I'm coming down with something so we'll see what the next couple of days bring. Might need to rest rather than adding in the rowing machine. On the plus side, I've lost almost 2 lbs!

Hope you are feeling better soon and kudos for the weight loss this week!

45 minutes of pilates, 15 minutes of yoga. Hellooooooo, orange!

Woo hoo!

I shaved two minutes off my 3-mile loop time since Monday. That shows what a little less morning humidity and a stubborn can-do spirit will do for you!

You go girl!

Thanks @PollyannaMom for the interesting stats!

Kudos to everyone for keeping up with their activity goals even in the dog days of summer!

74 minutes with run group brings me to 362/1000

 

[alievans719]

Well, yesterday was not great of an exercise day for me, but it looks like the group is doing awesome! I'm really glad I joined this group, I definitely feel even more of an urge to get out there and move!

Last night I only got some crunches in, about 10 minutes worth, so I'm at 230/1000. So close to Orange! But I've got some friends over this weekend so I wonder how much exercise I'll be doing.

Everybody, great job!!!

 

[SarahDisney]

Thanks for all the stats, @PollyannaMom - it's really cool to see how the team is doing broken down into numbers!

17 minutes for me this morning ... I tried a barre video I found online, which was fun, but I'm not really in great shape for barre ... so it hurt a little.

291/1050

Tomorrow's a rest day for me (yay!), but I'm hoping to go for a run Sunday morning, so I'll be back then with lots of minutes!

 

[Rattpack]

46-minute run today. Felt a lot easier than some other recent runs, so that was encouraging.
325/1000

 

[Keithsmomma]

8/6 30 mins

[LizardQueen8]

40 minutes yoga, 20 minutes strength. MAH LEGS ARE SO TIRED.

345/1100

 

[5xdisneyfans]

30 minutes in today.
200/1000

 

[Dentam]

Still felt exhausted today but don't really feel like I have a cold or anything - maybe allergies? Anyway, I only took my dog for her morning walk, which I don't really count as much exercise since she has to sniff everything. However, she does weigh over 90 pounds so there is some work involved in keeping her from dragging me all over the neighborhood! So I guess I'll count 15 minutes of the 30 or so we were actually out.

That's what I do with the cats, too.

Happy Saturday! So far, we have 381 minutes for yesterday, but I expect a few morning posts may come in later than usual because it's the weekend, so I'll try to check back at some point today. (If you post this morning, please say whether it's for yesterday or today.)

Here are our character photos for today, Mickey and Minnie "all dressed up" -





We have one new member of Sunshine Orange this morning - congratulations Keithsmomma!!

A couple more folks are pretty close, so keep up the good work, everyone!
