    My bet is that I won't be able to keep that up much longer. I've been trying to get a rest day in for the past 3 days but life is conspiring against me...

    Oct 6 - 15'545

    Not moving today. Taking frustration out on the elliptical is probably not a good idea when you're already pushing exhaustion. :expressionless:

    Glad you are going to start exercising! If you eat within your calorie deficit to start to lose weight and combine it with exercise to get your body back into shape, that's a great start. (And yes, that's my way to tell you that monitoring your calorie intake (eating) is going to help the most to lose weight rather than just exercise. However, exercising provides huge benefits to your body, so while some say it's okay to not exercise when trying to lose, adding exercise to your schedule really shouldn't be ignored.)

    But can I give some unsolicited advice when it comes to challenges? You might want to put down a number for a goal instead of keeping it so nebulous as 'start to exercise'. Putting a number to things gives you a tangible goal. Even if you start out low, like say - I'm going to walk 10 miles before the end of the month (which would be about a mile a day every other day or about 20-30 minutes of walking those days depending on how fast you go), it gives your brain something to shoot for. If you end up walking an average of a 1/2 a mile a day when you do exercise, then don't beat yourself up. You still did more than last month! Claim that victory. But, next month set the same goal until you accomplish it. If you end up walking more than a mile a each day, even better - you blew through a goal that you made that you thought would be attainable. Be sure to set a higher goal for next month to stretch yourself. Our brains need quantitative goals with time periods / deadlines to be most successful. And you deserve to be successful!

    Making up ground each day. Only 1,600 steps behind right now. Today is cold with freezing rain so I will have to walk inside if I am going to reach my target. Hopefully the weekend is a little warmer and I can get outside and get ahead instead of always being behind.

    12 oct - 8000 plus - slow
    13 oct - 6000 plus - slow
    14 oct - 10,000 plus - still under usual speed

    So my body is gradually overcoming the latest (puppy induced!) CFS peak - but I have also developed a nasty infected insect bite near my knee, so now on antibiotics and walking is sore...

    Got a little bit of paddling in today. Even got to paddle near some dolphins, which is always a treat...one made a big jump with the choppy waves, which I always love to watch.

    Expected a 5-10mph headwind and light chop...instead paddled in a 10-15mph headwind with moderate chop. It was brutal, but still a good day on the water. Saw a big old sea turtle (just the head) battling the waves today too (scared me at first because I didn't know what it was). No dolphins, but some crabs, rays and lots of jumping mullet. Going to go pass out now...

    My bet is that I won't be able to keep that up much longer. I've been trying to get a rest day in for the past 3 days but life is conspiring against me...

    Not moving today. Taking frustration out on the elliptical is probably not a good idea when you're already pushing exhaustion. :expressionless:

    Month is only a bit over halfway over and I'm already nearly at goal. I think I can up my goal for next month! :smiley:
