Just want to be sure. We have to keep pasting the updated ticker in this thread each day, yes? Because you can't edit the original post, right? Thanks.
AndiGirl70, I post each day I workout, but it is up to you. When you update your ticker at tickerfactory.com, your previous posts will reflect the new numbers. How are you feeling lately?0 -

Spent one hour cutting the grass, three hours painting the structure we're building and one hour hauling lumber. Estimated as 60 minutes for cutting the lawn and 120 minutes of 2.0 mph leisurely pace walking for a total of 830 calories burned today

Sorry I didn't check in on the weekend, I am not on my computer much when I'm not at work. We were getting ready for my daughter's 1st birthday party all weekend, so I barely had time to breathe, let alone exercise! I certainly burned calories, but I'm only gonig to count "formal" exercise. Anyway, I did manage to get a bike ride in yesterday and rode to the train station this morning after a quick bit of Wii this morning (but made it as high intensity as I could).

I went to the gym with the full intention of doing a cardio/strength interval class...and my 3 year old pitched a FIT when I tried to drop him off at the kids club. He usually really likes it there. Sooooo - he is napping now. That just might not be a good time of day to go for him (right after lunch). God lord I hope that is all it is! So after I got him napping I did one of my flow yoga videos.

I decided to stick with it. It's the keeping track that's hard, o I'm doing a spreadsheet. I've been swimming a lot and adding in body weight resistance (crunches, push-ups, squats, pelvic lifts) to help strengthen my body overall.
I can really feel a difference in my legs and my arms are buffing up.
Keep track of everything can be a pain. I'm glad you are sticking with it!!! :bigsmile: I am not the strongest swimmer in the world so I usually don't swim for exercise, but you have inspired me!0 -

So I ended up doing 20 minutes of elliptical last night (So You Think You Can Dance can be quite motivating!), and I got up early this morning and did 30DS and a bit of pilates. This challenge was exactly what I needed - thanks!

I've started late (and slooooow) due to surgery so my first week was ZERO...this week so far I only have 161 from a half hour gardening attempt. Oh well, getting better so I'll pick up in a bit. :ohwell:0
