October Exercise Challenge - don't get mistaken for the Great Pumpkin!

[goldcupmom]

October.....WOW!!!!!!!! I am still contemplating going to FL next Tuesday...& WDW for the 1st time since 1997. But hard to pull DD17 from work for 6 days & justify a vacation for just us girls w/ $$ being tight. But, I haven't cancelled my air yet. I'll let you know if I will be gone. Still have hives, but all labs were fine, so I just have to learn to live with them. UGH!!

As usual, commit to as many or as few minutes as you wish for the month, then come back here periodically to update your progress....ie. post "I'm at 346/750 minutes so far" then I will be on to update the list in the first post.

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!!!!!

Oh, I was looking for this thread this morning! I'm in for 500 minutes. Going to start low since this is my first time.

Glad to hear that the hives are better. I say go and enjoy yourself. You and your daughter will create memories that will last a lifetime. She is 17, she has lots of working years ahead of her. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

[pjlla]

I'm in again this month. I will put my goal at the same as September (1200 minutes), but hopefully I will hit it this month! I took too many weekends off in September. I need to go back to just one day off a week..................P

 

[LuvBaloo]

Thanks for bringing my goal over from the September challenge!

[MickeyMagic]

I'm in again. I'll shoot for 1000.

 

[goldcupmom]

Welcome, all!! I have definitely decided not to go to FL next week. My DSis who lives there had BC 4+ yrs ago and had 3 call backs at her mammo Thurs & is having 2 biopsies on her 'good' side Tuesday. IF it ends up being cancer, I will need to go down & help w/ her granddaughters who she babysits (their moms are teachers) and to kind of run interference/be support until they can arrange something for the little ones. Prayinng that this is a false alarm. 6 mo ago she was told there was a 'spot' they needed to keep an eye on. She apparently now has 2 areas of microcalcifications & they are doing a stereotactic biopsy on both.

 

[Zoesmama03]

I'd like to join in. Its been a long time since I've joined a exercise challenge. I've managed to easily drop 45 lbs in the last 7 months and want to keep it going and most importantly not gain it back.

So I'm signing up for 800 minutes. That would be able to do with a 30 minute walk everyday and I had been promising my daughter we'd take walks around the block in afternoons. The beautiful weather is making it more desirable. Its going to be more amount length of time for now not quality. Just committing myself to the time since my daughter obviously is not likely to move at a quick pace. She doesn't have a weight problem and I want to be a positive role model so that she never does like I did.

 

[fall08CP]

I'll give it a whirl. I've never done it before so I have no clue how many minutes I'll do... I'll start with 600 this month. I was at the gym today thinking about how I should track frequency, so this will be great if I remember to post

Is this just cardio minutes or does it include weight lifting?

10/1 45 minutes
10/3 36 minutes

so 81/600

 

[MinnieGal]

I would like to participate in this challenge! It will help me get to my goal! Put me down for 600 please. I will start off easy this month and then add to it each month.

I will keep your sister in my thoughts and prayers

 

[amyy]

I would like to join. Please put me down for 1000. For me the 1000 will be cardio and weights.

10/25 (I won't count anything but we recently moved into a house. I spent at least an hour and a 1/2 carrying boxes from the garage to the basement. Oh, my back and legs. Then I raked our 1/2 acre yard for another 2 hours plus Oh, my back : ) Hoping to get in a regular workout tomorrow. If I could do chores like this a few times a week I think that is all I would need.)

Thank goodness for the COW to get me started!

Teresa, I will keep you and your Dsis in my thoughts.

Please let me know if this isn't the correct way to report these numbers as this is my first exercise challenge!

 

[NYcpa]

Just wondering if it is too late to join. I need someone or something to get and keep me motivated. I will choose a low total of 600 min. I will be at WDW visiting my daughters (who currently live in Hawaii) from 10/21 to 10/28. The are doing Tower of Terror while I spectate. I have been having problems with my foot that prevented me from training.

Julie - please put me down for 600 min please if it is not too late

[perfectmatch300]

I'm here! My goal will be 1800 min again this month.

As of right now I am at 410/1800.

I just tried to go out & get some exercise time in, but it's so hot & humid I came back in after just a few minutes of wiping down our grill - never did get to any exercise. I was already drenched just from being out there, & I was in the shade! We are expecting to set heat records here in central FL today! So much for fall! I'm going to have to come up with plan B for exercise for today because it's just too hot for me outdoors!

Julie, hope all is going well with your sister.
