60 min run/walk and 60 minutes yoga brings me to:
865/1200 72%

Not quite ready to change colors yet.

Mid month I injured my knee and haven't been able to do anything since.
I was told no walks even
At this point I am waiting to see a specialist next week.
I don't expect to have any more to add to my minutes but wanted to get what I did have in for the total.

So sorry to hear about your injury. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! When I hurt my back earlier this year the pool was a lifesaver for me. If you have access to a pool, ask your specialist about it.
Happy Holiday!

I am so behind in my tracking/posting!

Ooo! Look at all those minutes! I've been doing some yoga, too, and it is very humbling as it is kicking my butt.

New colors for everybody!

I took a 30 minute walk this afternoon, which puts my minutes at 999. If I'd only known my number I would have gone another minute!

LOL! So close! Thanks for keeping track of us, Linda!

472/1000

WOW this week has turned into a nightmare for exercising for me. I have only been able to do my C25K. Gosh I hope things turn back to normal next week on the exercise front. I think it's safe to say that I will not hit my target this month

No worries! Some months are like that. The important thing is that you keep going!

Now at 605/750.

Two hours of WERQ this morning bring me to:

1595/2000

My teacher took song requests and we did a "Best of 2012" class...lots of fun! I love it when exercise doesn't feel like work because you are having so much fun you forget about how hard it is!!

Cool! What were some of the best songs?

75 minute yoga class!

I'm so proud of myself for getting up and going to class even though this cold is trying to talk me into staying in bed

925/1000

Hope you are feeling better soon! You are so close!

Ok. This is why I signed up. I did my pt last night for a small amount of time but today I have been cooking ALL day for our party tomorrow an haven't run yet. My back is killing me but I have got to do some exercise tonight. I'll report in after!

Way to hang in there!

I braved the cold today and put in four miles with the DH. That, along with 15 minutes of PT exercises (ouch!) brings the total to:

run - 45 PT - 15 = 1004/1200. So close I can taste it!

You are close! In Idaho we call 65 a nice summer day!

Hang in there everyone! We are getting close!

90 min run/walk.

The satellites are really messed up. My run/walk was a known 6 mile route, done it before. BUT my Nike+ only gave me 3.8 mile. Says it took me 32 min to run mile 3.

My alarm clock that runs off the satellites also was screwed up. This should have been a clue to me before I went out for my run.




948/1200

An hour Spinning class this afternoon brings me to:

1655/2000

So here are some of the "Best of 2012" songs from my WERQ class yesterday: Titanium (David Guetta), Call Me Maybe (Carly Rae Jeppson), Two Reasons (Trey Songz), Wild Ones (Flo Rida), Work Hard, Play Hard (Wiz Khalifa), Don't Wake Me Up (Chris Brown), Beauty and a Beat (Justin Beiber), Werk Me (Hyper Crush). Some of the songs have such awesome choreography that I might like a song that I normally wouldn't otherwise

Feeling guilty about slacking... Did two Jillian Michaels vids. Yoga Meltdown, and 30 day shred, level 1.

100/600

Tomorrow, I'm sure I'll realize that this was a horrible idea.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! I know I haven't gotten much exercise in today but the time with my son and dh has been worth it! Gonna try to run tomorrow but not sure if I will make it.

Cheers to my fellow December exercisers. May you all have healthy and happy holidays!

[glss1/2fll]

Updated through 251.

Some people are just a few percentage points away from changing colors. Just sayin'.

Not sure I'm gonna make it, but after all the holiday cookies, I definitely need to up the minutes. My pants are getting tight!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Wow - didn't realize how long it has been since I updated. I haven't been able to work out much at all due to respiratory problems caused by a sealant that was used to coat the deck off of our bedroom. The deck is the ceiling of the bedroom below, and it was leaking badly. Had to do the repair in this cold and wet weather, so the area had to be tented, thus the fumes were in my bedroom.

No running, couldn't breathe well enough for that, but here's what I have so far:

12/11 - 90 mins; 30 trainer, 60 spin
12/14 - 30 minutes strength
12/21 - 45 mins; 30 trainer, 15 treadmill
12/22 - 60 mins; 30 boot camp xpress; 30 treadmill

 

[PlutoBaby]

Feel better Tiki! That's some scary stuff!

Back to normal life again today and not a moment too soon

Managed to get in a nice run yesterday before the feasting began and went for another 39 minute run. That should bring December's total to 1081/1200!!

I hope all my fellow DIS'ers had a great Christmas and got everything they asked Santa for! Keep up the great work and let's start 2013 in great shape, while all of our non-DIS'ers try to keep up with us!

 

[Desiree]

59 minutes this morning! That brings me to 569/1000

Did my W6D2 of C25K and Day 1 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred this morning. I've got to bust thru this plateau!

Hope you all had a merry Christmas!

Oh no Tiki! Hope you are feeling better now!

I just realized that I only have 4.5 exercising days left in december because we have company coming on the 30th and unless the forecast changes, we're not going to get out for the run we were planning on NYE. (She's from NC, so she's not exactly keen on running in the snow!)

So, I'm stubborn and I really want to make my goal for December. I really had good intentions of going for a run yesterday after presents, but I napped instead. Here's my plan now that I've gotten myself in a bit of a pickle:

12/26 - 40 min of PT and core (b/c i'm supposed to go to see Les Mis tonight)
12/27 - 45 min run/walk + 30 min pilates
12/28 - 30 min other cardio + 45 min PT/strength
12/29 - 45 min run/walk + 30 min pilates
12/30 - 30 min other cardio + 30 min PT/strength

If I can stick to it, that should get me to 803/800.....

Sounds like a plan Figs! Just remember...must work off all that food...must work off all that food....or in my case - must work off all that wine.....
