I am ready for this. I am happy to see it is open to anyone. Do we follow a specific routine or just exercise and report our minutes???
Thanks Brenda

Thanks Brenda | The beauty of this group is that you can do what you want. We will just be there to motivate you, encourage you, and celebrate your successes. I report mine by hours, some report by sessions, and I think it is Becky that has a very complicated reporting, but we love her still the same! So pick what you think you can do and maybe up it just ever so slightly to challenge yourself. Welcome. This really is a fantastic group!

Alright I am in. Going for the same 25 hours this month though I really am hoping to get in a little more. However I would rather beat the goal that fall short!
Oh and I think I figured out what is causing the port pain...the stupid belly! I didn't have my spanx type undergarment on all day yesterday or the day before and I was really active and with all the extra flab that is hanging on, it was really pulling on it, not to mention the very hard workout that I had on Sunday. So back to the sucker-inner for the day. Guess I am going to have to wear it all the time now. Probably the reason my back hurts too! AHHHHH I am falling apart. PS consult is FRIDAY!!!

Ok, I'm in, this is the first challenge I am joining. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and walk the others. What do I do, log that in everyday? Looking forward to joining you all to a healthier me and you!

Hubby and I played tennis last night for about an hour. I would probably burn a little more if he did not play tennis like Barry Bonds. I did however get some cardio running to the other courts to apologize to other players and retrieve our balls. I think we will stick to raquetball. At least the ball cannot leave the court there. :)

Count me in again.
I'm going to start logging the hours I spend at the barn, tossing 60lb bales of hay around and riding the wee beastie. Otherwise it looks like I'm sitting home on my arse, eating bonbons and watching TV.
I rode for an hour yesterday. Today, I walked/ran 40min/3.2 miles on the treadmill and 10min/4 miles on the bike.
