Alright ladies and gents...another month, another exercise challenge. Participation has dwindled in the past month, but hopefully we can get it back up (tee hee) this month. Whether it's just walking for 10 minutes a day or powerlifting for an hour a day, we welcome all levels of activity here b/c the important thing is that you're off your duff and burning some calories.

The way we do it on the weight loss forum is that you just make 1 post and you edit it to update throughout the month. HOWEVER, once so much time has passed on this forum you are not able to edit your post unless you're a moderator. So if you will just make a new post once you're no longer able to edit, I will merge the posts for you to make it one post. ;) Please do not quote your previous post in your additional posts as it creates a lot more work than what is necessary just to merge them. ;)

My goal for this month will be 2500 minutes.

I haven't worked out since the 15th so I finished the month with 180 minutes. I should be good to go to get back to my workouts on Monday, though. :thumbup

I like these threads. Believe it or not, they actually help motivate me to go work out. :D I'll be laying in bed thinking I'll just sleep in a bit and not go but then I think that if I do that, I'll be the only one who doesn't reach their goal so I drag my sorry ass out the door and go do my workout. free-happy-smileys-839.png This month wasn't my fault, though. There's nothing worse than a bad back and I had to give myself time to get right.
