July exercise challenge--time to make your 1/2 year resolution to be healthy and fit!

[BkrsLoveDis!]

I've been lurking too - hope it's ok if I join in since it's only day 2.

I know it's a low goal compared to everyone else but I'm waaaay overweight and haven't exercised regularly in years. I'm trying to start with a conservative goal and work my way back up.

We don't travel again until next year but I'd really like to be in better shape for the next trip.

Thanks!

5.42 miles yesterday along w/ my 200 crunches. I was literally walking to see how many calories I could have for dinner & still make my burn. I much prefer early in the day, but no time. It was 90+ and no shade. HOT!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

128/3000

128 min yesterday with the dog(s). About 5 with the husky fast and then about .75 with each of the yorkies MUCH slower.

My walking goal for the year was 750 miles and I'm currently at 439.33. Not bad! Now if only this weight would start disappearing!

Have a great weekend everyone. Be SAFE & KEEP MOVING!!

Please put me down for 3000 minutes this month and I'll see where I end up.

I am always so impressed with these BIG numbers! Way to go!

Hi everyone!

Okay, it's time for me to stop lurking the W.I.S.H. boards and commit already! We're going to UNI/IOA in September and I'd love to enjoy the Wet & Wild water park without worrying about my thighs.

So please put me down for 1500! I started INSANITY yesterday, (ouch!) so I'm now at 95/1500.

Thanks!!

WELCOME!!!!

Hi Rose,

I started the month strong with 40 yesterday and 35 today bringing me to 75/750. I'll let you know if I decide to increase my goal. With my new "diet" need, more exercise certainly couldn't hurt. Thanks,

CC

I'm happy to change goals anytime. Just let me know.

Intervals and strength training today!

I love strength training!

WELCOME!!!! It's never to late to set a goal!

We ran a 10k today, so with the walk to the race, the race, and the walk back to the car, I'm at 86/1500.

Have a great Fourth!

Don't worry about the number of minutes compared to everyone else. We each have personal goals and the important part is that we support each other and KEEP MOVING!

Welcome!

Walking, Walking, Walking.........but it's a bit sad when walking I pass joggers.....

My numbers always are big because I track 'moderate activity' as counted by my BodyBugg.....anytime I burn more than 3cal/min.

Hope everyone is having a good 4th.

Happy Independence Day!!!

I'm at 150/1000 so far!

Hi Rose,

7/3= 21
7/4= 20
7/5= 35

I will definitely be swimming today, so I'm sure I'll add more minutes to today's total. So far, my total for the month is 151/750. Thanks and have good one!

Bless you guys for making me consistent and accountable!!

Happy day to all!

Can I join too? Not new to DIS, but haven't done an exercise challenge in a long time.

Hmm, a goal. I am going to say 1600? I'm training for a half on Aug 1, so that might be low...

07/01: 46 min (~4 mile run/walk)
07/03: 145 min (~10 mile run/walk)

So, 191/1600.

 

[KinziePooh]

I hope everyone had a happy 4th!

7/1 - 70
7/2 - 0
7/3 - 15
7/4 - 90

175/750

545/3000

My new goal is to reach 500 miles before I leave for FL on the 20th. After my walk this morning I'm at 457..9.....but I've done 24.14 so far this month. So I think I can make it!

If it's not too late, I'd love to join this challenge.

Good luck everyone

50 min (45 run/walk, 5 on crunches)

Does mowing the lawn count?

241/1600

 

[DisneyFreakNo1]

I'll jump in here on this thread and say that mowing the lawn should certainly count.

I'll commit to 900 minutes for July. I'm going to be on the Magic's repositioning cruise in September and I would like to lose 20 more pounds before than. That's a lot to lose in two and a half months but I'll be happy with just half that gone. Set the goal high and I'm more likely to work hard to achieve it. In the past I've lost 40 pounds with low carb I've mainly kept it off but that old saying about gaining 10 pounds a decade is just about right in my case. This time I'm going to just watch portions and up my exercise.
