    This is a brilliant challenge! Simple and not restrictive. Just started the summer hols after a long teaching year and very little exercise so trying to shift the pounds which have inevitably crept back on!

    Goal today is to walk at least 5,000 steps.

    Hello challenge peeps! Day 6- added an element of difficulty to my squats this morning. After the squat itself I came up into a standing crunch (knee to opposite elbow). Really intense! I did 50 of those instead of the extra plié squats. Then I walked for about 90 minutes. Gardening this afternoon!

    Day 1: did a half-hour walk although forgot to wear my pedometer so not sure how many steps! Also did a pile of ironing-it counts, right? :)

    I've never participated in online challenges but I am inspired this month to participate with 1) 30-day DO SOMETHING challenge and 2) 20 lbs by September 12. I am eating less, moving more and gaining NOT losing weight (What's wrong with this picture?)

    Day 4 was not very eventful with the exception of a bit of housework but Day 5 was filled with hoovering and painting my house, so lots of exercise. Ate really healthy too :) well done everyone, sounds like you're all doing great!

    Hi challenge peeps! Day 9: 50 squats, then hours and hours of painting. Such a pity MFP does not have "painting" on their exercise list! Hey, if "cooking" can be on there... !! I certainly worked off a boatload of calories. And still didn't finish!!

    Day 6: more painting. I'm surprised that's not an exercise too, bweaverband, because it sure does knock you out! :)

    Hello there challenge peeps! Day 10: squats, squats, everlasting squats! Contrary to popular belief, they don't seem to be doing anything for my "booty", ( been doing them for most of the year, so I really should have seen something!! Haha) but they sure do help my arthritic knees! So I keep on keeping on. They're really helping my quads, too. Then outside for some serious yard work and gardening. Sweating like crazy!! Aaaaaand then there's painting. Doesn't seem like I will ever finish!! But, it's an awesome exercise!!
