Exercise Roll Call
TIme to SOUND OFF and SHOUT out what you're going to do for Exercise today! Yep .. TODAY!
Write it down and claim it .. then follow through and DO it! ... and then triumphantly complete your exercise tracker and come back and post how many calories you expended and how you felt in completing your goal!
Am also most interested in whether we may want to do this each day from now through the end of June .. as an Exercise Challenge.
Here's what I believe we can accomplish if everyone is interested!!!
1. Being accountable to ourselves and others.
2. Getting a concise and accurate level of our exercise effort (exercise tracker) and calories burned.
3. Sharing our exercises with others to broaden exercise possibilities to other members.
4. Sharing any difficulties we may be having to gain information and support from other members.
5. To spend enough time on this Exercise Challenge to form new habits .. it only takes 21 days.
6. To give feedback on the Exercise Tracker.
SO .. HERE'S THE POLL QUESTION: DO YOU WANT TO DO AN EXERCISE CHALLENGE????

I started counting points on the weight watchers flex program and wanted to take the first week to get re-oriented to the program. The first week ends on Sunday and that is when I would like to start being accountable and start incorporating exercise.
I will be walking for 45 mins 5 days a week and on alternating days I will add 30 mins of strength training with resistence bands and pilates. I don't know if this is going to work for me because its seems like a lot to do but I will give it a go!

i'm actually starting my second week of my work out plan. i've had it planned for about 7 months now. lol. i'm just.....finally pushing myself to do it. so here it is.
day 1. 30 min stair stepper/30 min treadmill (started off at pace of 4 mph and i'm building up...i'm up to 4.5 mph and my last 2 minutes is a sprint of either 5 or 6 mph)
day 2. 20 min stair stepper/40 min treadmill
day 3. 15 min stair stepper/45 min treadmill
day 4. rest
day 5. repeat day 1
day 6. repeat day 2
day 7. repeat day 3.
i'm thinking about how to add in either my wii fit (i'm usually so tired after i'm done working out that i jsut don't wanna do it...so i may do it before) or some body weight exercises.
and when i get tired, legs hurt and out of breath i just keep telling myself "i can do it, i will do it." over and over until the pain or whatever goes away. and i've noticed just in the past week my leg muscles are amazing again!!!! i figured a few more weeks and i'll start loosing some more weight and my legs will be perfect and then hopefully the hips, butt and tummy will follow. lol

I need to do something to keep me motivated. I was going really good for a while and i got myself down to 157 (thats 10 pounds less since christmas) but alas, in the last couple of weeks i am back up to 160. Its like a big slap in the face saying "Hey what are you doing?! Why aren't you paying attention to what you are doing and eating any more. starting TODAY I will be paying more attention and I will reach my goal of 145.
I've said maybe at this point. Right now I am getting my exercise by gardening and doing stretching. Unfortunately with my Lupus I end up very sore for a few days after whenever I do this. I need to get in the habit of using my eliptical and get going on some exercises like pilates, tai chi or yoga. I see specialist next week and await his blessing and direction.
The good thing is that I am now committed to doing something and back on the weight loss track. I decided to stop leaving my big goal off my weight tracker and put on a short term one that allows me to feel like I'm getting somewhere. I was so good yesterday and did not even give in when my hubby and son announced they wanted to go get munchies. I will do this one small step at a time.

I have an exercise program already, but just recently i have missed out, because of work and Hospital commitments.
What i have found and is now my norm, is for short distances of travel, instead of using the car or public transport i walk. This has developed over the months to me walking to the train station every week day (3.5 miles) and 1 mile at the journey's end, to get to work.
Its so easy to do and leaving early in the morning i get to here the birds singing and see wild rabbits etc.. waking up. It sets me up for the day.
I am all for keeping an exercise journal and have one open on my page.
Way to go, and i am glad you are feeling well again!!!!
