    are we starting this coming up monday (june 7) or now?

    You can start now!!! I was thinking officially Monday, the 7th...I wanted to give people a chance to get on-board...if it works out well...we will keep going...winner can pick the next challenge

    I think we should do it longer than one week, but weekly.

    OK, lets try for 1 month and see who can hang until the end....:bigsmile:

    :bigsmile: The point is to count all your activity...change habits from driving to walking or bike riding...start a garden, walk a neighbors' dog, walk on your break at work, do (6) 10 minute segments or 1 big hour...point is to get moving!!!:tongue:

    I think I can do this! I had to slow down this week because of the work schedule but I am ready to get back to it and get moving again!

    SW 215
    GW130

    My downfall is bad habits that have a tight hold and don't want to let go! I just have to keep fighting for the next seven weeks to break the old habits. The other downfall is pms, that week before sends me into an incredible and powerful hunger overload.

    Im in !!!!!! Hopefully I can keep with it :) Hey Nola looks like Im following you hehehe . Im 35 yr old stay at home mom for now .... I have a 15 yr old daughter and a 6 yr old son . My biggest down falls are not eating breakfast ,alcohol,late night snacking and either not enough cals on some days and way to many on others . Question .... what are everyone's thoughts on cardio only .... I really don't want to bulk up cause my arm and thighs( except the back end lol) already have alot of muscle ( lots...lots ...and lots of construction and reno's) and I really don't want to add on more :)

    You sound just like me with lots of naughty habits!!!...Any exercise counts as long as your moving...yoga, cardio, gardening, walking, DVDs, biking...the point is to move it

    We start Monday; so, plan your week to squeeze it in and make it a part of your life

    I took my walk this morning, 40 minutes, and followed that up with a 20 minute yoga routine. It was great to get out and walk this morning. It's supposed to by 95 today.

    Ha! did it. 70 min walking, weeding and picking strawberries(berries were the extra 10) I have been thinking I would ramp up to an hour for a month of 30 to 45 min workouts. Just the challenge I needed to get motivated to sweat!
