    Didn't get anything in yesterday at the gym just my random little things at home. Did 30 mins on the treadmill today at the gym and 15 mins of weights. My HRM said I burned 448 for 45 mins. I always subtract about 100 from that as actual exercise extra cals because just sitting at my desk I burn 100 cals in an hour just living. :tongue:

    so I am gonna go for a bike ride soon...I didn't work out this morning cause as I thought, I'd be depressed. I didn't get another job. I followed up and the guy asked me not to call because it was frustrating.

    I have another interview tomorrow for a supervisor position...wish me luck everyone.

    Good luck with the job hunting! Ever since I joined on Tuesday, I've gone to the gym. This group is really good for me! My goal is just to get to the gym during the week and do the bike or run outside during the weekend. Had to go home after work today and take a nap before getting to the gym, but I did it!!! Almost didn't go but when I tracked my calories, it showed I was over so went to the gym. Signed up for a swim class for the next 3 weekends so I know I'll get the swimming in. I want to sign up for a triathlon before the end of the summer so I need to improve my swimmming. Hopefully I'll get better and actually sign up for one!!!

    Hello! I would love to join this group. I'd like to set a goal for 1600 minutes for the month of June. About an hour a day.

    loathesome - I am also job hunting and have been since the beginning of May. Just like you I am very depressed!! But, there is a plus side to it, more time to exercise. I make the free time I have very useful... if I'm not working I need to jump on this chance where I do have lots of free time and Im not too tired from work.


    Now to try and make a ticker...

    Sweet count me in...I'm trying to focus more on the process than the results, ie trying to give more importance to doing well than to 'losing weight'...

    My goal will be 2250 minutes of exercise, or 75 minutes a day.

    Thanks for the ticker link, whoever posted it! I'm making myself an exercise ticker right now :)

    Well I couldn't go to the gym on Wednesday as planned but I have a personal trainer session set up for tomorrow morning and plan to swing by tonight for a swim so we shall see how it goes.

    I've created a ticker so hopefully this will start motivating me.

    I got an hour of Turbo-Kick in yesterday, and another 35 minutes of C25K this morning! :)

    Good luck to everyone looking for jobs - I know it's touch out there right now. Exercise is a great stress reliever, though!

    I can't wait for my summer classes to be over so I can start swimming. Does anyone have a HRM that is reliably water-proof?

    Another good day!

    I rode the stationary bike for 60 minutes (my quads were feeling the burn!!). Then I did 45 minutes of Crunch: Candlelight Yoga. The yoga video is available on Netflix with the instant-play feature. It isn't a cardio-intensive yoga workout, but it focuses more on stretching and relaxing. I already feel a lot more stretched out in my lower back. I think I'll start using it regularly in the evenings.

    Sorry, I disappeared for a few days! I have gotten my 60 mins for every day except Saturday, but on most days I've been doing over 60 mins, so I may have evened out for last week! so I'll toot my own horn! toot toot! lol

    Someone please explain to me how I mkae the exercise ticker, for the life of me, I just cannot get it figured out!

    thank you so much! every one have a great day!

    Another hour in on the elliptical! 455 calories burned too, which is more than I've ever burnt in one hour before. :)

    And Connie, the website was kinda tricky to navigate (for me, anyway). I just kind of clicked around until I got to the point where you start selecting what your ticker looks like. You don't have to create a membership or anything so that's nice.
    Hopefully someone who knows the site better will be able to help. :smile:

    Well I joined the gym and had my first personal trainer session for an hour on Saturday which was a start. I'm in agony still so post-poned my second session until tomorrow but I walked for three hours on Sunday, 40 minutes yesterday, and I should hit 60 minutes today too. And then hopefully tonight I will fit in a 30 minute swim.

    My plan was to do 90 minutes a week, preferably in addition to my walking, but since I've never properly been a gym bunny before I guess my body's ability may have to take some time before it can match up to my mind's enthusiasm.

    I wanna join this too! Hope its not too late, I can make up the extra lol! Since I do not do any exercise at all, my goal is 1000 minutes this month!

    Another 35 minutes done this morning! I doubt I'll be able to get more in today - I'll be at school or working from now until 10:00 tonight.

    How's everyone else doing!?

    I'm in! I really just started exploring the website and I've got a weight-loss goal of approximately 15 pounds by the end of July. I just signed up for a gym yesterday, and I'm pretty excited to start working out regularly again. I used to be a personal trainer, but have a hard time motivating myself to actually take advantage of all the knowledge and training I received. My goal is to work out at least 60 minutes every day for the rest of the month, or the equivalent of 1,320 minutes by the end. Good luck to everyone! Thanks for the motivation!

    hey everyone,

    just wanted to touch base. hope everyone is doing great with their goal. i have been trying to bike more and walk a little extra on top of my strength training every day to get my minutes in. i have missed a few days, but oh well!

    Well I managed to get through my second personal trainer session and I am proud to report that I am currently able to move, unlike last time. So that was an extra hour work out on top of my 60 minutes walking yesterday.

    I'm having a break today before the boyfriend goes away for the weekend but seeing as he is out of the house for the first time we moved in three months ago, I am planning on having a bit of a detox and exercise fuelled couple of days, without him bringing home crisps and other evening snacks.

    Sounds like a fantastic idea!
    It's pretty easy to cook well for yourself once you get used to either reducing recipes or eating the same thing for a few days. My fiance is on a deployment and I'm going to have to readjust to cooking for two when he gets home! haha

    33 minutes down today! C25K kicked my butt today and I feel like I walked most of the way.:grumble:

    I've got a Turbo Kick class tonight so I should have another hour to add to my total for the day. :happy:

    Haven't been posting to regularly, but I have been doing my exercising. been dealing with a whacked out sister who is trying to drive me batty. do I get extra exercise calories for that? So far for the month I have logged only 654 mins, but considering I've only exercised 9 out of 14 days, I don't think it's that bad, but still not what my goal was, so I'm going to up it a bit and still hit my goal, and in the process get rid of my jiggly middle!

    so it stands at 1800 - 654 = 1146 / 15 = 76 mins a day for the next 15 days.... i'm just making it harder on myself!
