    487/500

    Yay - I'll definately exceed my revised 500 calories. Stephanie, will you do this again next month? I'm hoping to be able to ramp it up next month!

    I inherited it from a previous member, would you like to inherit it from me the month of Sept? Wink Wink Nudge Nudge All you have to do is post the new topic (Sept Challenge) and copy the link in this thread so we can follow you!

    I would but I'm still not sure I'd be able to do the whole 1440 minutes because of the back. :frown:

    I'm not doing a good job logging my time here, but luckily my garmin watch does a descent job. I am up to 20 Hours 58 minutes month to date. I am going to get a new bike delivered on Thursday so I know I'll be putting in some hours over the weekend.

    Thanks Stephanie! I'm pretty sure I'll have to see a physical therapist or something; I wonder if that would count towards exercise? What do you think? If that's the case I may actually hit 24 hours because I will do other things also. :wink:

    I did do some walking yesterday but I haven't updated my ticker yet; will do that this afternoon.

    Hey everyone, you all are doing great! Sorry I have not been updating or checking in...I've been dealing with these migraines for a few weeks now so I haven't been able to get much exercise in. But it looks like they are finally starting to subside so I can't wait to get back to exercising! I'm definitely going to be in for this challenge in September!

    Keep up the good work!

    1442/ 1440

    Congratulations! I made my as of today too. 26 hours 55 minutes including one 3 hour walk when I forgot to bring my pump and got a flat on my bike. Next time I'm taking the bus, but walking seemed like a good idea at the time.
