    Everyone is doing so great! Congrats on finishing up the first week! Now on to week two...hoping I can hold steady this week as I'm have a full work week (usually work part time) so it will definitely cut in to my regular exercise routine.

    Can I still join your mile-a-day challenge? I am having a hard time fitting in the workouts and need accountability also. I have been using a pedometer. If 2000 steps = 1 mile , I get in almost 4 miles at work but that's not the same. I know I need to go the "extra" mile and need much more activity. Will check back in tomorrow :-)

    Well, I dropped down to 192.0! This week is going to be a challenge for walking only because we're forcasted to have bad weather until Thursday.

    I'm going to borrow a Leslie Sansone video from the library and see how I like that! I also have a Wii and will be playing Just Dance 2 on that (not walking, I know) - so I wont be sitting on my butt all week!

    Ugh...need to get walking again. It's been a long weekend. No walking in, barely any exercise, and a lot of junk food. Today starts the end of junk food.

    If it's cold outside, I use my WiiFit and it tells you how far you have traveled.

    I know that feeling, I had a sick daughter all weekend long. She has strep, but she's feeling a little better now :)

    I would like to join in! I really need motivation on the exercise side. I work so many hours by the time I get in, I just sit down but I am stuck at 23 lbs. Have 30+ to go! I will start tonight and report my findings next Monday!!
