Pledge to Exercise!

[tlgoblue]

I was thinking about the "Who Exercised... Threads and thought a pledge to do so may help us along. If we say we will, then we are more likely to do it. If we don't get it done today, (and there will be a thread for this tomorrow ), we can look back at what is getting in the way of our efforts. (For me, it is usually not getting my dinner plans together in a timely manner :rolleyes; !) Even if we pledge 10 mins. of walking around the house or up and down the stairs, lets promise ourselves that 10 mins of "it's all about me" time. OK? I'll start!
I pledge to go to the gym and walk with DH for an hour tonight! (or with out DH! That is up to him!)

Keep the Faith!

I'm going to pledge too, Tracy!! I've been *really* slacking off in the exercise department lately and I know it's just because I've let my habit of doing it first thing in the morning slide.

I pledge to lift weights tonight and to do 50 crunches while I'm watching TV - no more sitting on my butt.

Way to Go Nicole! I was beginning to think that nobody wanted to play or that this was an offensive thread! Sounds like a great work out!

Keep the Faith!

I pledge to do the WATP's each day this week (M-F).

I think having a pledge is a great idea. My exercise has been the one constant in this journey lately. It all started with the exercise clippies...they help to keep me motivated and on track. Today I was able to place my 3 month exercise clippie and I am so excited that I have stuck to my commitment. So today I pledge to continue with my exercise, I pledge to exercise a minimum of 3 days a week for at least 45 minutes each session.

I also pledge to do WATP every day this week! the 2mile and maybe even the 3mile!!!!

 

[sadeeyore]

What a great idea I would like to play too.
I'll pledge to walk 1 mile every day. I have only just seen this thread so I'll start tomorrow. (it's 10.30 in the evening here so it's a bit late to start today)

I've let the exercise slide the past three weeks (except for all the walking around Disney). So I'm pledging to WATP at least 4 times this week.

 

[mommyflower]

I pledge to do WATP 2 mile three times this week. I already did it today so two times left. This thread is a great idea!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I pledge to continue my 1 mile walk every night to the mailbox 5 times a week and to start 20 sit-ups on those same five nights starting tonight!!

I am pledging to continue walking/exercising so I can get to the 1/2 marathon with the WISHers in Jan 2005 (even if I might be the oldest one of us WISHers participating). Also want to get in some sort of 10k in spring if I can...not a race but participation! Seems like a long way off for me, but I got the 5k part down I think I am ready to try and push up.

Hi,

I want to join.

I pledge to walk at least 45 minutes a day 4 times a week on the treadmill.

I am getting ready for the half-marathon on Thanksgiving and I am in need of some serious training.


Thanks for the thread.

I already go on the stepper for 45-60 mins a day plus I do some walking. I could really do to work out my upper body. So I am going to pledge to do 50 crunches a day and do some upper body weight bearing exercise.

 

[disnygoof]

This is a great idea! I've done WATP 4 & 3 mile Sat. and Sun. so I'll pledge to exercise at least 6 times this week. I'm heading to bed now so tonight will be my night off.

Great idea!

I am a bit late to this thread - but - 'I Claire, the ultimate exercise hater (beginning to reform!!) pledge to do WATP 2 mile once or 1 mile twice 6 days this week!!'

I missed yesterday and did not do it - it was the start of TOM and I always feel awful - so I pledge everyday from today on.
Good luck with the pledges everyone we can do it,
Claire

WOW! You guys are really committed! I can only pledge a day at a time. (12 Step Program. ) I did go for my walk with DH. It was a bit slower than I would have liked, but it was an hour I did not spend sitting on the sofa watching TACO BELL commercials.
Today I will do my strength training for 40 mins. I really need to get those abs ripped! (I'm dreaming, but maybe my dream will become reality.) I have notice a difference. Unfortunately, my slimmer waistline has caused my bottom to appear much larger. I know it's not, because my pants are getting more comfy every day, but in the mirror ! Good luck to all who've pledged.!

Keep the Faith!
Tracy

Good morning!!

I too have slacked off on my exercise in the last few weeks - I will pledge to do either 1 mile on my Gazelle tonight, or the 2 mile WATP tape (depending on time allowed).

Thanks for the motivation!

 

[MelindaKiah]

I pledge to go on my treadmill for at least 20 mins 6 days this week (already down 2!!)

 

[ibouncetoo]

tlgoblue,

I like the idea of pledging only one day at a time, really keeps you focused in the 'moment'. So, for me today, I'm doing the 2 mile WATP right after work, after my haircut, after stoping at Home Dept for lime green Mickey paint chips (Sonic, not Alien), but before dinner! Maybe being specific about WHEN it will happen will help MAKE it happen!

 

[helenk]

I pledge to do the WATP 3 mile express tape 3 days a week in the evening and walk at least a mile in the afternoon (weather permitting) or on the treadmill if its nasty outside.
