Ok, some of us survived :drinker: the Thanksgiving holiday (Americans) and some of us didn't.:frown:
Where did the butterball land? :sad: So, we have to combat that with some time to Move it! Shake it! Jiggle it! Wiggle it! Bump it! Thump it! Stomp it! Womp it!!
Now, Christmas is coming and there's a santa suit that needs to be filled out. :noway: Do you want them coming to look for you to get that job done? :sad: The only suit I want to be wearing is a swimsuit from Victoria Secret.:smokin: So, it's time to get off the booty and make it happen.:bigsmile:
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 (you can wash walls, do videos, walk your neighbors dog, just get busy!!!)
- or -
2) Burn 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor
OK, who's in for Week #1, starting on Monday...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

teddyann, not sure what you mean by a tracker thing??? You can pick the challenge to be 360 minutes or 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor...

This sounds like a good challenge, but a HRM is not in the budget. So, how else can I keep track?0

I need this challenge and think it will help me reach my goal by Jan 1st!

Any hints for someone who is going in for knee surgery? How do I NOT gain weight while I'm recovering?

This sounds like a plan, I'm in for 360 minute. I'm new to this...when is check in and how do I check in?0
-
Chyrita, I check in everyday whether I do something or not...so, it looks like this
Monday, elliptical ## mins, ### cals
Mariediana, well, I would check with doc first...but, there is always swimming, chair exercises, modify anything that causes pain...maybe you could post a topic and get ideas from others....the point is to get off our duffs and move an hour a day0 -

GOAL from last week was to burn 3500 calories!
Mon: 620 cal burned (44 min Leslie Sasone DVD)..............................2880 cal to go!
Tues: 472 cal burn (35 min LS DVD).......................................................2408 cal to go!
Wed: 502 cal burn (35 min LS DVD).......................................................1906 cal to go!
Thurs: 1200 plus cal burned (120 min plus cleaning) ....................... 706 cal to go!
So I did not make the challenge last week but I still tried and did OK for hectic schedule last week. I took a 3 day rest from exercise after cleaning marathon Thursday! I maintained my weight so I was very pleased.
This week I am going for 360 min again and hopefully I will get to the gym at least 2 to 3 times this week.
Awesome job Choco!:flowerforyou: Congrats to all who tried!!
We missed you Trenton! Good to have you back this month.
