I didn't get it logged last night, but I was able to get a nice 30 minute walk in, thankfully the weather wasn't too bad.5

But this is a great challenge. I think having a goal for 2018 to be exercising 150 per week is a very reasonable and achievable goal and I’m now adding it to my list! 
When I was teaching elementary, I used to say on short weeks "This week Tuesday is Monday." The kids loved the silliness of it, but if you don't start the week on Monday, start it on Tuesday.

Not done. Although I was on my feet from the time we got home until the time I went to bed, I did not get in a good workout. Just the usual mommy stuff.3

I’m up to 49 exercise minutes this week. Still on track for the 150 minutes this week. How are you all doing?4

@MmamabearR, moving around and doing things may not be a formal workout, but it’s still a very healthy thing for your body. And you get steps in! It isn’t prolonged sitting, which is really hard on the body.2 -
So far I have 110 minutes. Going for my walk later today. I am was up really early looking at the moon.

71 minutes after my classical stretch this morning. I usually put it off until later in the day but I was upstairs making my anti procrastination list and had 23 min before The View so I knocked it out early.4

After reading the introduction and the resources I really appreciate this challenge! Especially how Mondays can be considered as mini start-overs each week. Looking at it this way gives a whole other level of encouragement not to allow a difficult or problem filled day or week define the next week(s) or month(s), becoming a slippery slope of neglecting exercises and other healthy practices. Been there and done that in the past .
I also like having an easy to remember goal of aiming for a minimum of 150 minutes a week. This allows for a lot of flexibility for daily and weekly goal setting. I have always just looked at my day by day exercise as just that, but now I'm going to expand that so each day is a part of a weekly/ monthly goal, and now a yearly goal. I'm hopeful that doing it this way will help keep me looking at things more positively instead of being discouraged when I miss the mark on a particular day or even week.... Monday is always a fresh start over

I exercised on Monday! 130 minutes so far this week.
PS-I wondered how many minutes I had exercised the first four weeks of January with everything that had been going on. I ran the numbers, and for the first four completed weeks of January I exercised a total of 600 minutes, with around 150 minutes (give or take) each week! Yay! Actually this was very encouraging as I was at first only noticing the blank days on the calendar instead of looking at the days that I actually did exercise, and how those minutes fit into that week, and all four weeks.

For another challenge group I am in, I had to participate in a sport. So, on Tuesday I got my daughters to play tennis with me. I was terrible, but we had fun, and they want to make it a weekly activity we do together. I'm also on a Fitbit challenge with one of my daughters, so I've been doing a lot of activities. Over 300 active minutes so far this week.

Congratulations everyone!
I did 51 minutes today5 -
Aw, February 1st! or the 1st of any month. A new month, a new chance to start again. And I shall! I feel so energized today, I hope this feeling to lasts the whole month. I wish I wasn't inside. It's cold out, but I'd rather be out than in right now. I feel like singing or just going nuts! I hope everyone smiles today! or laughs! or finds something that brightens your day!
Have a great one!7 -
