[perfectmatch300]

I am at 1500/1800!

 

[goldcupmom]

A HUGE Apology to all!! I kind of 'checked out' of life for a brief time. Nothing major, just bummed over many things...I'll update in my WISH journal soon!

Anyway....off to update!! It looks like everyone is doing well!

Yes, ANYthing you consider exercise is exercise. I count the minutes of 'moderate activity' my BodyBugg calculates - which is minutes when you burn more than 3 calories/minute....thus my large number.

Keep going! This month is nearly history and the dreaded candy is about to attack!!!

 

[pjlla]

10/23 - none

10/24 - 30 minutes

10/25 - nothing yet!

That brings me to 1216/1200!! Woohoo... I made my goal for the month! I will be setting a mini-goal for this week, so that I don't slack off. From now until next Saturday night, I will aim for another 250 minutes. That is only a bit more than 30 minutes a day...............P

 

[ShortyNBug]

Just wanted to check in and tell you I will still make it to 600. I'm at 590 or something so not too far off. Haven't run since Thursday but I will try to get back at it tom. Will also post the rest of my days. i don't remember them off the top of my head right now.

 

[pjlla]

10/25 60 minutes

That brings me to 1276/1200 for the month and 60/250 for my mini-goal for this week!.................P

ETA: I did 30 minutes this morning. I am at 1306/1200 for the month and 90/250 for my mini goal for the week..........P

 

[lisah0711]

10/19 55 minutes

295/500

Oops! Overdid a little and had to back down for a few days due to sore knees. Will need to do a little hustling to make my goal for the month -- 20 minutes a day will do it and still be kind to my joints.

[ShortyNBug]

Today I surpassed my goal. I made a goal of 600 because I haven't done this before and I wanted to do something I could accomplish. Guess next month I'll up it. Might even try for 1000!

Do you count minutes you do crunches, lunges, arms, you know, those little at home exercises? I haven't been but maybe I should.

Personally, I count EVERY minute that I am consciously exercising. I don't necessarily count walking at the mall and things like that (unless I went there PURPOSELY to exercise), but I certainly count all of my home minutes, since I exercise at home the majority of the time!

I did another 55 minutes last night and 20 minutes this morning. That brings me to

1381/1200 for the month and 165/250 for my mini goal!......P

 

[ShortyNBug]

Yeah, I'm not sure why I don't count the other stuff. I'll start next month. It only usually takes me about 10-15 minutes to go trough my arm exercises and do some crunches and such on my ball but it all adds up. I'm thinking about getting out the stretchie bands and incorporating them too for some strenght training next month. I'll count those minutes too. Thanks for the input!

well I didn't make, but a good last week!

 

[pjlla]

Okay.... it was tight, but I squeezed in 35 minutes today.... that brings me to

1467/1200 for my monthly total and 251/250 for my mini goal for the week! So I made both goals!! Yeah!!

Wow... I must say that setting that mini-goal to finish off the month really helped. I was SO considering skipping my workout this morning because things got busy, but I KNEW I only had today to finish strong for the month, so I squeezed in the 35 minutes!! Thanks once more to goldcupmom for hosting this challenge! Watch out November... here we come!............P
