    The long weekend is almost over and I am 3 days and 300 minutes into the July exercise challenge, I hope to have my minutes done by the middle of the month. :love: having extra calories at the end of the day.

    Busy weekend, not much time for any real exercise (well I probably could have fitted something in :tongue: ) Anyway finally got back to the gym this morning for 75mins.

    Have kids on School Holidays for a couple of weeks now and the weather is going to be terrible all this week (of course :grumble: ) I will just have to try extra hard to fit the exercise in around them!!

    Yesterday, I went sailing on Lake Champlain for 3 hours with Hubby so that is another 180 minutes done for me. Today, I am a little sore so I'll do some stretching and some squats. Beleive it or not, sailing a raceboat, even at moderate speed, is demanding on the legs.

    390 minutes done, 810 to go.

    I'll try and give this ago. High numbers makes it more of a challenge for me ~ maybe it will get me motivated again. I'll attempt to do cals & time :wink:

    Massive thumbs up to you all who are doing so well so early on in the month, keep it up!! xx

    4/7/11 = 30 mins ----> 136 cals

    Went to the gym with my friend. We wanted to get an hour workout before work. Well gym closed at 2 we walked in the door at 130. We were pumped to work out so we busted out 15 mins On the elliptical and ran to the showers!! Hahaha 15 is better than zero I guess. Managed to burn 150cals :)

    Good morning my friends! I finished yesterday with a 30 minutes arm workout and started today with the Classical Stretch DVD. I did not complete it in order not to be in pain tomorrow. I must have done some 20 minutes out of the 30 minutes. This morning, I woke up with some pain in my finger, I had bruised it last March and it is still sensitive, so I will not go on my IT like I had planned to. I may go for a walk outside when the sun will be down, I'll see about that when the time comes.

    Have a nice day and take care.


    450 minutes done, 750 minutes to go!!

    Actually, I will up my minutes goal to 1600 too and with all the sailing I plan on doing until the end of the month, I may even increase it again later on.

    So....

    450 minutes done, 1150 to go!!
