Walked another 25 min on my lunch break so now...................drum roll please.....................160 to go!
You are doing it Diane!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mollie! :flowerforyou:
Another 10 min of strength training yesterday...............................150 to go!
Today I'm sad I won't be getting my usual breaks so I won't be able to sneak any quick walks in at work. I'm supposed to be taking a walk w/ one of my friends after work and I'm really hoping she doesn't cancel. I'm pretty exhausted today.0 -

Hopefully she will not cancel. I know when you are tired it is hard to push yourself. But I have no workout buddies really so I just do it or say to myself, "Its what I do". That is why I love these exercise challenges because they do push and motivate me when I do not really feel like doing anything. Fall is perfect for walking. Put on your ipod or something and go even if you friend cancels. Have a good walk if you make it!0 -
One more day to squeeze in 870 calories.....:-) I have so much to do tomorrow so I will get 870 calories and some! I am off and I usually will not go to gym on a off day but I know I will not get 870 calories with DVD at home so I have to go to gym tomorrow.

That's a lovely thought but there is no way in heck I'd do jumping jacks in my cubicle and shake the entire office area. No earthquake tests needed here!

Welcome formerfatgirl...this is a great group!!0 -
@ Kim, yes I'll be doing stairs every chance I get. And you're right I can do some stretching and littler movements in my cube. Maybe some butt lifts in my chair? :bigsmile: I'll get some time in! I'm bound and determined to get that 360!

Down 105mins and 255mins to go!!0 -
Totally blew it this week with lack of exercise ~ but my diet has been perfect - that's a huge deal for me. Transitioning to a new job, moving offices and doing two jobs at once ( not to mention the normal stuff like home/family that we all deal with) No excuses but I've been emotionally drained, sad to leave so many that I love and excited/scared about the new challenge. Still haven't finished packing up my office.
I am going to try to do something tonight - at least a walk if nothing else to clear my head.
I'm not giving up ~ still going to move it ... moving boxes ???? :laugh:
Peace

Janet, life gets in the way...this thread is just to keep us accountable and not fall off completely...good luck with the transition...that SHOULD be your focus at this time...I know you were far from home, will you be closer?:
Good job on the eating perfectly...that's the biggest battle...I work out to EAT!!!:blushing:0 -
My goal each week is to complete all of my insanity I know I wont be able to make 360mins at this pace but at least I will be one week closer to becoming an insanity grad!!! :=) I think next week I will add in a few classes at the gym just really want to see what insanity will do on it's own!!0

Monday, nada
Tuesday, elliptical 98 minutes...945 calories
Wesnesday, elliptical 21 mins...163 cals
Thursday, ellpitcal, 6-pack abs and kardioke, 88 mins...731 cals
To Go: 153 min/661 cals
I have to make tomorrow another killer workout day. I work on Saturday and Sunday from 3 to 11. Tomorrow goal will be similar to today, hoping over another hour. I've been breaking the workouts throughout the day. It's easier to have 4 sessions on my days off than 1 1/2 hour straight.
Cnbethea...you are so consistent with exercise and that's what counts...congrats on finishing insanity, I've heard it's brutal
Carleen...way to get back on track
Swinnie...glad you are feeling better today...remember when you talked to the group about your weight loss and how happy that made you feel to encourage others...hey, your a walking billboard!!!0 -
My friend did not cancel so we got a nice 55 min walk in. Quite chilly outside today. Brrr... I also got in 10 min of strength training today.
150-65 = 85 minutes to go! Which is great because the next 3 days are going to be so super busy for me. The thought of still needing to average 30 min of movement between them is a little intimidating but that is just because before I would have said screw it, I'm too busy and taken the 3 days off.
This challenge has really kept me active and on track this week!

You rock, sister:smokin: you have to let me know if you weigh in and this has made a difference:bigsmile:
Also, after giving you the 1-minute every 30 minutes work suggestion, I might it that as well. Even tho I walk a lot at work, I'm thinking 1 minutes of lunges or squats...easy enough and equals 16 extra minutes0 -

Monday - 60mins
Tuesday -35mins
Wednesday - 45mins - 20mins 30days shred, 10min walk, 15min pushups and step ups

205 done - 155 to go

That's great Kim, and thank you. :flowerforyou: I do a lot of stairs at work. I work on the 3rd floor and there are 2 flights per floor so I go up 4 flights every morning. I usually do all 4 flights 3 times a day and then sometimes I'll make an extra effort to go to the bathroom on the 2nd floor so I have to go up 2 more flights to get back to my desk. It makes me feel good to do the stairs because this is the first time I can remember even being able to do 4 flights of stairs w/o wanting to pass out at the top. When I first started there last Dec, I loathed the stairs and would always take the elevator. Even 2 flights at once used to be too much for me. I used to go out of my way to get to an elevator to avoid stairs and now they are just making me stronger and stronger with every flight I climb. Yes they are still difficult but they are doable. Yay for strength! 0

Wonderful Diane!!! Whoooohoooo!!! Awesome job on the stairs too!! You are right the challenge do motivate me also. This is my 2nd month and even though I was exercising before, I am doing much more now to try to meet the challenge. This is better than my pedomentor which is a lot less accurate. Keep up the good work Diane!! Yes the hawk was here today in Chicago too! Today I will be pulling out my gloves, scarfs, etc.....:-)0 -

Don't think I'm going to make the 360 this week, but I'm sure going to give it my best shot tomorrow & Sunday. Besides, my daughter & I are suppose to do just dance after school today so that'll help.0 -

It's sooo much fun if you like dancing and moving. We do the challenge part against each other. My son just moves his arm, so we say his scores don't count. :laugh:0 -
Hello all!
Well I reached my "Move-It" goal this week for 3,000 calories! I am still going to shoot for 360 minutes over the weekend. I think I can manage 65 minutes over the weekend.
I lost 1 pound this week! I will take it considering all the candy I ate this week. I am glad the candy week is over with.
Congrats to Coleen, Swinnie, Cnbethea, Kim, and everyone else I missed! Good job!! Keep moving and have a good weekend!!

this place has been hopping...i didn't check for one day and i am behind like 3 pages!!! woohoo for so many people joining in and doing such a great job!!!

tuesday: pilates 15/36, walk 75/275

friday: run 22/212

to go: 196 minutes/1475 calories
i think that i am going to revise my personal goal for this week to 240 min (equaling 6 40-minute workouts on average)...its still going to mean that i have a lot of work to do this weekend, but i feel like it is more reasonable for me! i will be spending the majority of the day tomorrow checking out wedding venues with my mom so a super long workout is not in the cards, but i know that i can average 40 minutes/day and be successful 0 -
