May Exercise Challenge

[Natasha]

Alright, folks, it's time for another monthly exercise challenge. Your goal can be anything you want...whether it's to work out a certain amount of time, a certain number of times, or simply to walk 3 days a week. Come join us. Everybody is welcome whether you're a die-hard exercise queen (or king, LOL) or just starting out. Only I have the permissions to edit posts after 8 hours, so if you will just post your daily workout in a new post everyday I will merge them for you. Please don't quote your earlier posts as it just makes for more work when merging. Thanks!!!

I hope to do better this month. I was plateaued with no net weight loss for 5 months and last month I did start losing again, but far too slow (only like 2.2lbs off my lowest weight). If I mandate some specific exercises each day, maybe I'll lose just by virtue of consistency

May Goal
25 sit ups per day
25 jumping jacks per day
10 push ups per day
Lose 4lbs


1- goal met
2- goal met +30 minutes yoga
