Hmmm, not sure if I can commit to 1,000 minutes in June. My kiddos will be on summer vaca for 3 of those weeks. I'll get back to you!0

I’m going on vacation as well. :drinker: So, 1000 is definitely going to be a challenge for me.:noway: You are so dedicated! Set a goal for what you can do! It doesn’t have to be 1000. You rock, my friend!0 -
I will post. My current wkly kcal burn is 4200kcal. I include what is exercise, but also my outside chores and the wkly kind-of housecleaning is vigorous (i.e. doing laundry or dishes I do not count, even though the former requires 2 sets of stairs, from home office to basement).
I am new to this group. I had my first child at 33y and my third at 39y. This challenge is timed right for me, as I just recovered from the flu and ready to return to activity.0 -
Hey everyone - I'm new to this group. I have two little ones that are now 3 and 6. I had my older one at 37 (5 days after turning 37) and my younger one when I was 39 (2 months before turning 40). I am 43 now and working VERY hard to get the younger version of my body back.
My weight is in the healthy range for my height but I am short and ideally would like to be 10lb lighter than I am right now. Losing weight has been SLOW but I am keeping my focus on improving my health and fitness rather than my weight and figure the weight will eventually come off...
I'm signing up for 1200 minutes in June. My ideal workout schedule is about 400 minutes a week if I stick to it. With middle of the night wake-ups (yes, I am sorry to say, they still happen when the kids are 3 and 6) I sometimes have trouble getting back to sleep and end up sleeping through my workout time. My biggest challenge is pushing through the sleepiness on those mornings and getting up and working out despite every ounce of my body telling me to stay in bed.
I am hoping this challenge will be my motivation to defy my exhaustion and get my 400 minutes a week in and done.
Cheers and good luck to us all! :drinker:

I'm sad to say that I can't join
At least, not yet. I have major pain in my heel. It started about 20 minutes before I was done yesterday, and I had to stay off it as much as possible the rest of day. I was hoping it would be gone today, but it's not. So, I'm going to be laid up until this heals. :grumble:
But, I'll be cheering you all on!! :happy: Go get 'em!! :drinker:0 -

Happy to report there are things that can be accomplished while nursing a boo boo heel!! :happy: With the help of some Advil and gel soles, I got out the hedge clippers and pruned our apple tree and then headed into the woods to reclaim our adventure path that has overgrown this spring. Then, I got in some exercise with hand weights later on.

Hello, I sorry that I didn't get to log in and start yesterday, but my father pasted away on friday morning and I took a day off just to give myself a break. I did 84 minutes today of jogging and walking. I do not own a scale because I don't ever go by that, I go by how my clothes fit. I get weighed when I go to the doctor, which I go back on the 7th of this month, which will be a month from the last time I went. I normally work out consistently this time of year when the weather is nice out.0
