    Figuring this out ,

    My start weight for this challenge is 193lbs

    Today I am going for a walk as that is about all I can do , due to a bad cold ... But it was too nice to stay in all day.

    I am hoping doing this with others will be the accountability I need to keep up with this

    I hope you get to feeling better! I'm just getting over a sinus infection, and it felt great to go for a walk today!

    I went for an hour-long walk! I rambled around town with a friend :) Lots of fun, and good exercise!

    I LOVE going for walks with friends!! It seems as though you will always walk longer, and sometimes faster depending on who you are walking with!

    I went for an extra-long bike ride (normally ride abt 15 miles and went 20 today woot!), so can I count that as my extra 15-30 minutes? I also did 30DS. I'll add a walk to my ride and 30ds tomorrow. :)

    Great job everyone!

    Ugh, I did NOT want to work out after school today! BUT I want a glass of wine and maybe even gelato after dinner -- so I hopped on the elliptical for 20, and then took our aged doggie for his vet-approved 15 minute walk. There may be another short walk after dinner, but we will have to see how he feels.
    I weighed in at 186.3 this morning for the 2nd day in a row, which is higher than my 185.6 last week. I know it is hormone/water related, though, because I didn't over consume on the food end. Maybe I was just dehydrated on the 185.6 day...anyway -- happy challenge to all!

    I know how you feel!! I was with pre-schoolers today, and after chasing them around I did not want to do anything when I got home...but the first thing I did when I walked in the door was change into my workout clothes!!! I can't be slackin when I expect you guys to meet these challenges!!!! LOL

    Instead of riding my bike yesterday I got my boyfriend to go walking with me and we brought two of our "fur" children with us. We ended up walking for an hour and completed 3 miles! I'm not sure if I will get my walking in for tonight because I'm still at school studying for a practical and a test I have both tomorrow >.< I treated myself to Raising Cane's earlier though, so I need to do something. It might be later tonight (it's already 8:41 here) but I will try!!

    It can be tough to find that extra 15-30 minutes!!! There was a day where that was all I did because I was so exhausted from work, plus had to do dinner and bake something for an event! I said to myself...."I need to do more than walk....." but at least I got my walk!! LOL I think it's so great that ya'll are trying so hard to meet this challenge!!!
