    I have been having alot of trouble making myself exercise. So today I made my family go on a walk on the american river bike trail. It was nice and good family time and I got in my exercise. We ended up walking a little over 5 miles. Maybe I should start having them do it with me more often. LOL. So I got in 140 mins of exercise today. YEAH

    What do you ladies do to make yourself exercise when you really dont want to ?

    mommy
    I came here pleading fo support. That's what I did. I really an not an active person, well I am a busy person that gets too tired to MAKE myself do it! I wish I didn't feel this way. :-( I worked 12 hours today and pray I can add some extra activity tonight. Nice job on the walk.

    Do you want to be in on the challenge?

    Finally exercised some today... my husband rented Just Dance 2 for me and we danced for 45ish minutes. :) Not thinking that is really 45 minutes with pauses between songs but it was definitely my 20! I just realized I have to exercise every day this week to get in 5 days so tomorrow is the tough day!

    2. Exercise 100 minuets(or your choice) this week, and post how & results next Sunday or Monday.

    I'll do that one, but 315 minutes

    I am at 416 lbs and will probably weigh in on friday mondays are no good for me to weigh in for some reason lol.

    I have 216 lbs to lose to get in a reasonable weight.

    Hi Again!!
    Walking babies is walking!! Many walk their dogs. But you are also using weights. ;-)

    Glad to encourage & support you all.

    I am a Sunday to Saturday kind of OCD girl. LOL That's why I said from Sunday to Monday to do the activity.

    But my official WI is on Saturday's (actually I am a daily weighing kind of gal)

    As long as we are doing something to become more healthy, we have to do what works for us. Everyone is different.


    I do know this challenge has helped this fairly inactive person work a bit harder this week and so fae I have 85/100 minutes toward my goal.

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE!

    We all make mistakes and have bad days!! Just because you have one bad day doesn't even mean you will gain weight! The other day I ate a big ol' bowl of ice cream, and I don't even feel bad about it! It was worth every bite! But... that was the only day I went over my calorie goal since I started. Don't beat yourself up!

    Thank you for that! I've been trying to tell myself that but it's still nice to hear it from someone else. :)
