    I would like to participate! I'm fairly new to MFP but would like to add more exercise to my life. I'm going on vacation in two weeks and am already stressing a bit about the challenges that go along with that. I think if I focus on tracking my activity (probably LOTS of walking every day and I'm considering bringing my rollerblades, too) while we're traveling, it'll take some of the anxiety away about the limited food choices. I keep telling myself that I may eat more unhealthy food than is ideal but the PORTIONS are totally within my control! I can be PREPARED with lots of apples, protein bars, water, etc. too!

    EDIT: Oh, drat! I just noticed that you started last week. Oh well, I'll watch for another group to jump in with. I hope you're all doing GREAT and finding this challenge to be a great way to infuse extra motivation into your days! Go, go, go!!! :happy:

    Day 5

    Wii Boxing

    31 minutes

    203 calories burned

    Today was my day off from Insanity. I wanted to do something that wasn't too intense. I didn't sweat as much but I felt good after seeing some calories burned off.

I also loved dancing to indian music! i am more sore than when i do my regular workout cuz this kind of dancing works everything and it was such a stress reliever! i am ready to exercise today!!!! woot woot

    Day 4 - just took a little 20 minute walk to go get some groceries. Burned 62 calories, but like Friday, this normally is another rest day, so it's better than my usual Sunday.

    Tomorrow is running and either kayaking or miniature golf so i'll get in my 30 minutes and then some;

    Day 6 (Sunday)

    1. What: took a walk around the park before going to costco
    2. Duration:30 minutes
    3. Calories: about 100
    4. How I felt: tired, both before and after. I work again tonight and the holiday weekend has been BUSY. Plus it is hard to sleep sometimes during the day. But I am looking for a lifestyle change and normally I wouldn't do any exercise between nightshifts so this is a challenging goal. Plus the sun was blindingly bright so I imagine I looked like a zombie, but now I am feeling better so I am sure the fresh air was good for me. And all of those grilling burgers and hot dogs looked amazing, but I have salad and strawberries awaiting me.

    Day 5

    Mall Walking 30 minutes

    200? calories

    We walked a lot more than 30 minutes but we dedicated to walking before we did any shopping. I dont think I like walking in the mall of america so much because there are sooo many people and they all walk ridiculously annoying.. stopping and spreading out and all over the place. Oh well.. Least I did something!

    DAY 6 (Mon 5/30)

    Exercise: Walking 2.5 mph
    Time: 30 mins
    Cals: 196
    Felt: FANTASTIC!!! I wasn't that enthusiastic to go, but I knew I felt TERRIBLE yesterday for hardly getting any exercise in. I let down myself, this group, and everyone who believes in me. I wasn't going to let that happen again - so I grabbed my stuff & went. My Inner Critic tried to say "Oh yer too sore... you shouldn't go." But slapper her muzzle on and cranked up my MP3 player and strutted my stuff! Now I gotta get my food under control - for some reason I over-eat when my niece is here. Not sure why - not her fault.
