The WONDERS - get set for summer - W/C 23rd June

Besides doing the Couch to 5K (I'm about to start Week 3, woo hoo), I also just found the 100 Pushup Challenge. It is what the name describes, a 6 week (3 days/week, 10 min/day) plan at the end of which the goal is to do...100 Pushups!

GoofyMom, that might be a good challenge for you--it is sure challenging me! I only did 8 pushups the first time I tried. And I'm sore to boot!

GL, I am always in danger of falling off the wagon, always looking for motivation. I seem to do best with a plan to follow. GL!

Thanks.

I have done diet plans and not done well. I looked at the exercise links - no running allowed for me...arthritis. Push ups fall into the same category. BUT that does give me an idea - someone had talked about distances in and around WDW for walking. Walking I am allowed & encouraged to do. I have my treadmill. I wonder if I could stick with it enough to "walk" from here (Canada) to WDW before the cruise? My goal is still 15 pounds. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I am in pain daily with just this little amount of extra weight. My knees have been suffering arthritis for 28 years already, and a good portion of those, I was heavier than I am now. One little slip & here I am. I have already been told that it is "when" not "if" I will need a knee replacement. The more I exercise & keep my weight down, the more I can delay it. One would think that is enough incentive. Sometimes potato chips & ice cream are "louder" in my head. I had a joint replacement in my hand at 15, so I already have an idea of what to expect.

Ok so according to Google maps I can leave my house and be at the Poly in 1,294 miles. (I think my treadmill operates in miles so let's go with that.) If I can figure out my pedometer (which is still in it's box..) I can add outdoor workouts to it.

Off to find something relatively healthy for lunch.


as for the watermelon & rum - I think vodka is a better choice

GoofyMom, that is a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!!! Walk from your home to WDW!

That is brilliant

Best of luck on your journey! Keep giving progress reports, ok? What a fantastic idea!

Hmmm.... I'd like to try this out, but will it let me walk on water????

I think I need to find a good pedometer that tells me how far I've walked, not just how many steps, I'm thinking of investing in My Health Coach for the DS...

Absolutely you can walk on water girl!

Let me know if you do the health coach for the DS - I was looking at that last night but didn't go for it yet...mostly cuz I spent too much on Muppet DVDs!

I think I'm going to wait until a copy comes into the games shop I work in, staff discount and all, I just have to wait for a used one to be brought in.
