Participation is getting better and better every month...thanks, guys!!! So let's keep it up!!! I figure this is a good way to encourage each other to get our exercise in. So the way this works is that you set a goal for minutes of exercise for the month and then *gasp* you try to meet it.

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 ;) Please do not quote your previous post in your additional posts as it creates a lot more work than what is necessary just to merge them. ;)

Kick it in gear, folks...time to get exercising!!! Marathon shopping for Christmas??? Make a few laps around the mall and call it your exercise for the day!!! Hanging wreaths outside your house??? Do a couple of curls w/ the wreaths before putting them up. Decorating your tree??? Turn on the music and dance while doing so!!! If nothing else, you can find 15 - 30 minutes per day to take a walk...all it takes is getting up a few minutes earlier.

Let's get moving!!!

It's going to be tight making my goal this month. It doesn't help that the place where I work out is closed in the afternoon/evening on Christmas Eve and also closed on the 27th and 31st.

Yeah, I'm done for the month. I thought I might get in a workout this morning but that required getting out of bed at 6am so...no. :ninja Can't go tomorrow and Friday the place is closed.
