Karen, Thank you for starting this challenge. Just what I needed.
May 1: I posted this as 20 minutes of dog walking. Actually the goats got out of the pen and I was chasing them around to catch them and get them back in the pen.

I'm so sorry you're feeling poorly! But please stay in the challenge! Its not about a winner, its about being accountable and driven. So even if you have to put "ill" for a few days that's fine. Just keep track the whole month here. Blessings to you!Well looks like i got to drop out. I got food poisoning this morning and wasn't able to do a thing today and i have a feeling tomorrow wont be much better. Thats three days out already.0 -

Oh Pat no!! I just saw you were sick. Please continue.. hey.. doesn't having to run to the bathroom every few minutes qualify as 5 minutes?
We walked the dogs today.. so despite this migraine that won't go away I did get a 20 minute walk in and the dogs were ecstatic. Our dog park is a total of 31 acres of mostly woodland trails.. the dogs love it.0 -
I am about to get out and drive a few hours to take my son to go to his dads for the weekend so it has been rush rush rush today lol, But I did fit in one Zumba song that was 5 mins. I want to do more tomorrow, but I just didnt have enough time today since we are about to be on the road. I am proud though that even though I had to leave in 15 mins, I got in at least something today

As long as you're doing what you can do, that's all that matters!!! You'll notice your stamina slowly increasing over time. You'll get there, just be patient with yourself. Every little movement is so beneficial, have what my mom used to call fidget feet. She would constantly move her feet while sitting, she would say "Have you ever watched your skinny friends who seem to eat everything in sight and still stay thin -their fidgettie. So act like a skinny person - fidget!" Lol!May1 - Walking parking lot 10 mins
May 2 - Walking and stairs 10 mins
May 3 - Walking 20 mins

We all work at our own pace. You'll get there. And we'll be here to cheer ya on!! You go Girl! :drinker:0 -

Someone mentioned tips to get in exercise. I do not have any machines at home and cannot afford gym membership. I have a couple of dvds I use when I get focused, one is yoga for the rest of us, Peggy Cappy, she does chair yoga for people who cannot get onto the floor etc. I also have walk away the pounds, Linda someone lol sorry cant see it from here. But my big tip which others have laughed at but I dont care.... marching or walking while folding and putting away clothes. It might not be much of a workout for people with only a few pounds on them, but for people like us it is certainly something.0 -

May 1st - Working... (it was a very long day)
May 2nd - Vomiting (does that count because I think my chest mussels would have something to say about it)
May 3rd - Begging to be knocked unconscious ( my chest mussels were right, dry heaving is a workout)
I was always going to do my exercises, thats my normal routine, but i guess im still in since you said we can have 2-3 days out. I've just used all mine up from the start.0
