July Exercise Challenge - BURN it off!!

[goldcupmom]

I'm BAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKK!

Posting this early as I need to try to get back into the habit of 'Dis'ing. Things are somewhat calmer, weight is still up from October, feel yucky, tired most of the time, it's HOT & DRY here (think .19" of rain so far this year, and HIGH humidity = 10%) and motivation is REALLY lacking. I've got to start really dragging myself out to get my 5 mi in before 8 a.m.

So, as usual, commit to as many or as few minutes you WILL exercise this month. ANYTHING you consider exercise counts! 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.

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 hear you! I have been so busy with 2 kids graduating this year that I have hardly worked out in the last several months. And my weight is up, of course.

BUT - both kids have walked across that stage, diploma in hand and the family grad picnic was Saturday so I was back at the gym this morning - I've got a little "me" time again!

I'm in for 1,800 minutes for July. Thanks, Julie!

Hi Julie,

So good to hear from you! I am finally back into exercising after my little foot incident in September.

I'll go for 600 minutes in July. That would be huge for me, but havng a goal helps, so that is my goal. Plus, I need to lose "some" weight.

Thanks for hosting this!

Glad you found this! I am really ready to get off, again, what I had lost earlier this year! Time to MOVE!

 

[dennisbryce]

Hello I was so glad that I found this.

I am a mother of 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls and I have been working out and changing my eating habits for this is my 88th day. My goal was to lose 90 pounds and I am at 47 pounds lost so far.

I would like to participate in this group and would like to commit to 1800 minutes for July.

I look forward to talking to everyone here

 

[illuminationsfanatic]

I would love to join in for July. My goal is 1,000.

July 1! Get moving!!!!!

I did 4.96 miles with Sashi, the Husky, this morning. Going to go to the gym & do weights soon.

What did you do?

 

[tink2020]

When I posted around here I worked out 20+ hours a month (a lot for me with our schedule). In the last 2 months away, I've probably worked out 5 hours total!

So I'm back. Traveling a lot this month (and I soooo don't work out when I'm away from home. I know.) so I'm going a bit lower. Count me in for 900 minutes, please, and we'll see...


This morning was off to a good start, though! Ballet Boot Camp + Spinning Intervals. 110/900

I'm in.
I am so out of shape. I basically haven't exercised since Thanksgiving. I had surgery in March.
I bought a pair of New Balance Rock and Tone shoes.
We're going to WDW at the end of October, so I need to get my butt in gear.

I'm going to do 620. That will be 20 minutes a day for each day in July.

I just got back from my 20 minute walk. Wow, did I feel it on the hills. It must be a combo of underused muscles and those shoes. I can't wait to see how much easier it will get for me as the month goes along.

I am also going to buy myself a new song for my ipod for every 2 miles I walk. Those fast tempo songs really help me.

20/620

 

[goldcupmom]

Off to update. Get moving, everyone! You'll be happy you did!

 

[dennisbryce]

Hello everyone
I am up to 260/1800. I hope everyone is having a great weekend
Let's keep moving and having a good time!!!

 

[illuminationsfanatic]

Verrry slow start to the month for me 20/1000. Starting tomorrow I will be able to get back into a regular routine again, thank goodness

Happy 4th of July

 

[dennisbryce]

I am up to 675/1800 so far. Was a beautiful weekend here!!! Went on 3 long walks with the kiddos and was wonderful...I sure hope it continues

 

[illuminationsfanatic]

Currently at 55/1000.

 

[perfectmatch300]

I'm here too!!! I did no goal setting for June at all, but for some reason I really don't understand actually managed to lose a few pounds! I really need to keep the momentum going!

My goal for this month will be 1500 min. So far I am at 150/1500 this month. I haven't been going to my dance class since my hip surgery last Oct and and I really felt it when I went back the other day! Tells me I really need to step it up a bit! Guess I'd better go set up my chart to track my minutes! I do a lot better when I stay accountable.

 

[glss1/2fll]

I'll try this! It might be the motivation I need. Especially since after next week my walking partner will have a wacky schedule. There will go an hour a day! So I am making up a number, 1000 minutes. That would normally be easy, but without her to make me walk, maybe not. So, for July I am at 254/1000.

 

[tink2020]

Snuck in a 30-minute TRX Abdominals express class yesterday. I'm moving along quite, quite slowly!

140/900

 

[glss1/2fll]

But you're moving. That's the important thing. Just keep swimming, swimming

I got a workout in this morning. It should make up for the driving/visiting parents I'm about to go do!

 

[dennisbryce]

I am up to 810/1800!!!
Doing good so far but had to push myself at the gym last night
Hope everyone is having a great week

Whoa I need to get back on here!! We went to Disneyworld last month and had an awesome time. Did well on my eating there but it seems after we got back I stopped exercising and wanted to eat anything that sat still!! Pants are getting tight again and we have another big trip in 35 days

My weight goal is 10 pounds but my exercise goal will probabaly be 1000 minutes. My days are crazy w/ all the kids summer things but I've done well committing my evenings to my workout and hubby has been supportive!

Good luck everyone!!
