Ok, we got to face our families for the Thanksgiving holiday (Americans).:grumble: Now, do you want to hear them make snide comments about your butterball that should be on the table?:noway: :sad: I bet you don't!!!! Nope, your gonna be the hot smokin' potato with the ta-tas:smokin:

Then it's time to Move it! Shake it! Jiggle it! Wiggle it! Bump it! Thump it! Stomp it! Womp it!!

What's your plan? You gotta have one to make this happen.

The goals are:

1) 360 minutes of moving...it doesn't matter what kind you do or how you break it up

- or -

2) Burn 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor

OK, who's in for Week #1...if at first you don't succeed, you keep trying...just keep coming back and reporting progress or non-progess...it doesn't matter...it keeps us accountable and that's how we commit to healthy lifestyles:bigsmile:

    My goal will be a bit less to start, but I hope you don't mind me posting...I need the accountability. And, if I make it to 360 - bonus!!

    I'm in! I too might have a smaller goal to start (because I'm just going to do my Power 90 workouts) but I still need the accountability as well!

    All activity counts...deep cleaning, walking or biking to the store instead of driving, taking the stairs at work....little bits add up

    Thanks Kim!!! I love the phrase, "Move it! Shake it! Jiggle it! Wiggle it! Bump it! Thump it! Stomp it! Womp it!!" So inspiring and motivating.

    You are right this does help for accountability. I am going to shoot for 2500 to 3000 calories with HRM this week since I know I can't do 360 min. Next week I will be back in for the 360 min.

    Everyone have a good week moving it.....:-)

    WOW...do we have some movers and shakers dedicated this month...remember, if you don't finish or fail completely, stay honest to yourself and keep posting...

    Monday, nada...well, I took a super long nap, 2 1/2 hours and worked from 3 to 11 in my walker shoes...but, I won't count that since I have no way of knowing the actual burn...gonna make some up tomorrow...I'm definitely motivated this week...
