Would anyone be up for an Exercise Challenge?

[m 'n c]

I thought it might be fun to have an exercise challenge for August? Anyone interested? I'm hoping it might make me motivated to get to the gym and workout :)

We could do days, hours, minutes whatever you are interested in. We can just do a thread and everyone can pick their own way to be accountable. I know I do better with X number of days per month but others like X number of minutes per month.

I am compiling a list for the August Challenge. It is not too late to join. I will start the Official August Challenge thread to track our progress next week. Here are the participants so far (20 of us!!):

[mseg16222]

I think that would be great make me have more motivation to exercise longer and more often.

[coastalgirl]

I would join in! The boys start school on the 3rd, so I can get back into a somewhat normal routine!!!

Lydia

[SunshineGirl]

I would totally be down with this. Depending on how many people join in, I think SR could spring for some prizes.

[bbangel]

I'm in. Will hopefully help with jumpstarting training for my Disney trip in October.

[m 'n c]

That would be cool Tricia. I'd be happy with a quarter or two in my account each month for meeting my exercise goal. I need to figure out what other little competitions we can do around here for prizes ;)

[Mandi]

I'd be interested. :) I need to get my butt in gear and lose some weight.

[LyndaM]

Count me in, too! I started exercising recently and need to keep it up. Our WDW vacation / cruise is sneaking up on me and I really need to get in shape before that!:cooldance:

[Karri5775]

I would love to join in too. We leave for Disney September 22nd and I need to get my butt in gear.

[zoodoyle]

I can never stay motivated, but you guys might just be enough to keep that fire lit under my bum!! I'm in! :sunshine2:

[Kittykat]

Abso-Froot-ly! :cooldance:

I've been trying to keep up a decent exercise regimen but lately I've gotten a tad too lazy for my own good. This might be the motivation I need to lose the last 6 (or 11 :p ) pounds before our trip in September!

[PSL1013]

Count me in too! :)

[disney_girl]

Count me in! I've been in need of some motivation lately and hopefully this will work!

[wilsonfamily4]

ME, me. but I do think I will start smaller and build up. Like a total of 400 minutes in August and 450 minutes in September and 500 minutes in October.

This may really motivate me. I SOSOSOSO need to lose 10-20 pounds. I can go slow as long as next summer I have hit that target.

[Soccer Princess]

I'm in. My goal is going to the gym 4 days a week. :)

[linanglab]

ME! I would like to go 1/2 hour a day for 5 days a week. Now, who is going to keep me accountable???? I just got a new Tae Bo tape, and if I know someone is going to ask me if I have done it, I will sure make sure I get it done!

Angela

Angela

Ohohoh, I will! :lol:

"Angela, have you done your Tae Bo today?"

:p

I have a few Tae Bo tapes that I like but boy, do they ever kick my bootie.

[nurseminnie76]

Count me in, too. I need something to stay motivated. I gained 40 lbs while pregnant with my son. I've lost 21 lbs in the last six weeks since he was born but still have 24 lbs to go (I'd like to be 5lbs lighter than I was before pregnancy). I still can't fit in any of my shorts (seems baby #3 has greatly expanded the size of my hips and rear). :rotfl:

[svwkirby]

Count me in too! I really need to get back in the habit of including exercise in my day. Maybe this could hold me accountable.

[bbangel]

Angela

I bought the Tae Bo tapes at a garage sale. 25 cents each (I got four). I haven't really gone beyond the beginner level. You have reinspired me to pull them out and see how far I can go!

[linanglab]

I am getting ready to do my Tae bo right now. I was going to do it this morning, but I misplaced the DVD. Found it and I will report in a little while about how GOOD it feels to exercise!

Angela

[wilsonfamily4]

Did my bike! I haven't been on it so long I didn't realize the battery is needing to be replaced. I rode for 25 minutes with like 4 interruptions. :( I love my children but serioulsy!

I am now eating a snack of cherries. I so wanted othe rthings but decided a fruit was best!

[linanglab]

I did MOST of my Tae Bo. I also had interuptions. My kids only need me when I am on the phone or excersizing.... I do feel good that I worked out. I probably won't feel too good tomorrow when I wake up. I forgot I had muscles in certain areas....And boy, I am NOT limber....

If I am sore, I will probably skip tomorrow and go on Thursday. I may just walk on my treadmill tomorrow. PLEASE....everyone keep me motivated! I have fibromyalgia and excersize is VERY important.

So, has anyone else done their Tae Bo today?????

Good for you! We do need motivation, don't we. :) I hope everyone bugs me as well. I would also like to add some pilates back into my schedule. It was so nice years ago when I was breast feeding I would get up and feed my son and then when everyone was asleep do my pilates and then go back to bed. :) I loved this time. I need to find a new time to get back into them

[m 'n c]

Angela - I find walking on a treadmill when I've over done it the day before really helps even if I'm only going 1 mph! If nothing else walk just a little tomorrow to help stretch out your muscles.

[Kittykat]

Did my YBB and rode 5 miles on the stationary bike. :cooldance:

[linanglab]

Good morning all!

I am a bit achy this morning. BUT, I will still get on my treadmill. I will get on around 8:00 after DH leaves for work.

You all ready to excersize???

Angela

[linanglab]

Okay....I have not walked on my treadmill yet. But I am taking the kids to the Toledo zoo right now. We will see how I feel when i return.

Nobody is here right now! I am assuming everyone is trying to cashout! Not me....Only have $25 cashoutable right now. Trip not for 2 years, so I have LOTS of time!

Angela

[m 'n c]

I'm actually scrambling to get ready for work. I'm running a tiny bit behind after cashing out. Trying to finish up the paid click right now.

[zoodoyle]

Angela

Hope you had a great time at the zoo!! I worked in the zoo field for 10 years, and LOVE the zoos in OH!!

[m 'n c]

Go to the zoo, take a nap then walk on your treadmill! do you have a pedometer for when you do you to the zoo and such. That might be a great resource so you can count your mileage. Have a great time. I love the zoo.

[jacaluho]

Count me in too. My DSis and I took our kids to the park this morning. When DH comes home, I will hit the treadmill. haven't decided if I want to do days or minutes or what yet!! :confused:

[wilsonfamily4]

I will get on in a bit. I have friends for the kids over right now and then we have dinner quests tonight so I will have to fit it in between the two. But I will do 20-30 minutes! I am also drinking my water right now.
Dee

[jacaluho]

I am also drinking my water right now.
Dee


This is something I need to work harder on, my water drinking!!! :(

[m 'n c]

This is something I need to work harder on, my water drinking!!! :(

go buy a 1 liter bottle of water (make sure its pretty like fiji or voss ;) ) and then wash it out after using it each day. I have switched from small water bottles (16oz) to the 1 liter and I'm definetly getting all my water in for the day. Plus when you reuse the pretty water bottles the cost per use goes down rather quickly for the $1.79 you had to pay up front for the water. :)

[speechteachri]

Now that I have lost weight, I really need to start toning more! My exercise routine is always really sporadic due to our schedules, but it is easier in the summer while I am off if I can make myself get up early.

For August, I will shoot for a MINIMUM of twice a week walking and 3 times a week working with weights and/or Pilates for toning. I generally get in a lot of walking during the day anyway, and quite a bit of swimming, so that is not really the issue for me. I mainly need to get on track with toning!

[SunshineGirl]

So how many do we officially have on board (there's a reason I need to know--LOL!)?

[lilianddomsmom]

count me in:cooldance:

[PSL1013]

Me too! :cooldance:

[jacaluho]

Count me in too!! :cooldance:

[wilsonfamily4]

I did not get my bike in yesterday. I was so busy. But no excuses today so I will have to get it done. Technically I am not starting until August but I thought doing it now would help get my butt in gear and on a routine.

[m 'n c]

I'll go through and do a head count and let you know Tricia.

[m 'n c]

Tricia we have 20. I will put a list in the first post then start an August challenge thread early next week.

[jacaluho]

ok, I did 1 mile on the treadmill (1/4 running, pathetic I know, but I am so not a runner) and 2 miles on the bike. There, I feel better about myself. :)

[m 'n c]

I am going tonight. Planning on 40 mins eliptical and then 20 on the stair climber.

Last night I got in 40 mins on the bike and 15 on the eliptical

[bbangel]

I got in 30 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of weights last night when the chat kicked me out and wouldn't let me back in :rotfl:
When I came back I had no trouble. I think it was trying to tell me something.

haha! I went between my chat sessions as well. I was scared yall would all be gone though when I returned. I'll have to try and go earlier today so I don't miss everyone again. I had a good time last night.

[Kittykat]

:cooldance:

I think there's some truth to seeing other people's progress as motivation. :clap:

Last night I did my WATP: Walk & Jog DVD. Tonight I have golf lessons so I'm counting that as my cadio (even though it probably doesn't count!).

[LyndaM]

Y'all are good! I really need this challenge - I have such a hard time making myself exercise!

Right now I am walking about a mile each night. When school starts I want to start exercising about 30 minutes four days a week and continue walking a few nights per week. A brand new, beautiful YMCA is opening right by my house, so I'm going to join and make myself go. My work offers 3 hours per week Fitness Release Time so I figure 30 minutes a morning Monday - Thursday will work perfectly for that. Whew - I realize I'm rambling but it helps to visualize my plan...

[jacaluho]

That is awesome about your job. My husbands company will pay about $200 towards our "Y" membership. Still gotta come up with the other $400 some though! :rotfl:

[linanglab]

I am slacking....I did not excersize today....I will try tonight. I am painting my kitchen. don't like the color that I am painting....will probably to go the store and get a different color....

I think I will get on the treadmill right before dinner. I hear it is good to work out before you eat. Something about your metabolism being high????

I also need to drink more water. Maybe we should all commit to drinking more water too.

I heard that about working out before you eat too. My problem is I feel like I am starving and then let myself eat too much and then I feel like a fatty again. :sick: I need to control myself better. m 'n c suggested that I get a large bottle of water to help with my water drinking and I am going to stop and get one on my way to work tonight.

I don't know about the rest of you but I sure could use a devil smiley face to go along with the angel smiley face! :rotfl:

[linanglab]

I also try not to eat after 6:00. NO later than 7:00. It works for our schedule, however, I know some people don't get home until later and it is hard to eat early...

Angela

[m 'n c]

for some reason I can't exercise without something in my stomach so now I'm on the schedule of either eat my dinner an hour before I work out or eat half my dinner before and half after. Its starting to help. I just wish I didn't get off at 5:30/6 each night.

[SunshineGirl]

Cindy is working on a little surprise for everyone who commits to the challenge in August. :)

[wilsonfamily4]

yippee. That should also help me to be motivated. FUN:sunshine:

[linanglab]

Okay you all....I am a bit on the competitive side!!! Watch out!!! Sadly, when I was younger (early 20's), I was so competitive, that I, in a huff, quit a game of Jr. Monopoly with a 5 year old because I was losing.....

[jnorth1007]

Ok you guys inspired me and I had a stressful day so I decided to start walking again until the kids are back in school and I can go back to the gym. I walked fro 15minutes. When I hit 6 minutes I thought I would die and wished I had brought my cell phone so DH could come pick me up. I contiued though and hit 8 minutes and then turned around and came back so it was technically 16 minutes. By the time I hit 12 I realized I wouldn't die and that I would in fact make it back home LOL. I haven't exercised much since my surgery in October and man I know why LOL. But I am determined to stick with it so make sure you guys ask me if I have walked every afternoon. Thanks for the inspiration. I don't know how I thought I would walk WDW when I couldn't even make it 6 minutes LOL

WELCOME!
Good to have another! I have been motivated by seeing others MOVE and lose weight. I don't want to come here and be the only one not losing and eating too much. So good to have you here. And good for you! 16 minutes is a long time when you start.

[jacaluho]

I also try not to eat after 6:00. NO later than 7:00. It works for our schedule, however, I know some people don't get home until later and it is hard to eat early...

Angela

My problem is I work evenings. I leave for work anywhere between 3:30 and 4:30 too early to eat dinner and I just got home a few minutes ago. So I am checking my email while my dinner is heating up. I know it is probably in my head, but I feel like when I eat right before I go to bed, I wake up hungry.

[m 'n c]

well I was bad tonight. My bf wanted to take me on a date since I would have a college friend in town tomorrow night then we would head to a bachlorette party on Saturday without him. So no exercise and major flex point expenditure. I will definetly be making it up Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday before weigh in on Wednesday.

Welcome Jnorth!

[linanglab]

I did some ab and buttock work yesterday. Gonna try the Tae Bo again today.

MnC - You need a splurge night every once in a while. Hope you had a great time on your date!

Angela

[Kittykat]

Exactly! You gotta have a little yin to go with your yang. :p

[wilsonfamily4]

I walked last night. My daughter rode her bike and I was almost running to stay up with her. Today I hope to get back on my bike. I am also eating so much better. Well maybe not better but less. :) hehe

[jacaluho]

I did 4 miles today between the bike and treadmill. I managed to run 1/4 then walk 1/4 then run 1/4 then walk the last 1/4 mile. I'll be honest, it almost killed me! :rotfl:

Oh that's pretty good. I tend to try and do a quarter mile walk/run combo as well. 2 years ago I was able to run for a solid 20 minutes but now I'm barely at 7 minutes.

[linanglab]

I used to run for 45 minutes straight. And then I had knee surgery :( . I quit running (that was 2 years ago). I want to get to the point that I can at least run 25 minutes without dying. I can go 15 minutes, but that is about it...

Angela

[Arky]

I hadn't even noticed this thread down here. Is it too late to join you all?

I haven't been working out and I really, really, really want to. I will start out with walking and see how it goes. But I won't start til next week. Crazy weekend ahead. :rotfl:

Angela

45 minutes straight? Angela that is awesome. As far as I am concerned m'nc's 7 minutes is great too. I am impressed with people who can run. I never timed myself, I just go a for a specific distance. Maybe tomorrow I will see how long it takes me to run my distance, however long I decide.

[wdwabby]

I need to get my butt in gear too :( or it may get too big to get in gear!

Count me in for the August challenge ...

[Kittykat]

I tried adding running to my workout schedule last fall and it nearly killed me! I've come to figure out that I only run when chased. :p

And it's just too hot to run here now. I would like to try again this fall, probably not any sooner than October though.

I admire all of you runners...it's something I wish I could do!

[Magical JenK]

If it's not too late, I'd like to join too! I seem to find a whole BUNCH of excuses not to exercise every night lately! So this is EXACTLY what I need! We had a challenge like this at work where we all put so much money in a pot every week & then whomever won the challenge won the entire pot...yeah, I didn't win.

You know what I think is really great about this...is that since all my SR friends are doing it too I won't feel like I'm missing out on SR stuff when I'm exercising because we all are at some point during the day!!

I am doing better w/my water though and I'm going to go through the recipes that are listed on the other thread & go shopping this weekend to help with some variety in the food situation!!

Thanks M'nC for starting this whole thing!!

[jacaluho]

I'm done for the day, have to work so I didn't have as much time. But at least I did something. My weight isn't going down at all which is getting frustrating.

[Kittykat]

Are your clothes fitting differently? Sometimes you can't rely on the scale to tell you if you've made progress or not. You may be losing fat but replacing it with muscle (which weighs more) so maybe you ARE making progress!

I know I should avoid the scale sometimes though the temptation is hard for me to resist. I get discouraged if I see my numbers go up (which is all they seem to do lately) when I should really be focusing on whether I've eaten well, drank my water, exercised and gotten plenty of rest that week. I know, it sounds cheesy...but it does help!

[sunshinecindy]

I'm already exercise challenged, believe me.:rotfl:

[wilsonfamily4]

That is so funny and that is me to a T! I would like to like to run but I find it so boring. :) But I will work out other ways.

[SunshineGirl]

I used to only walk and do the eliptical until I saw how many more WW exercise points I got for running. LOL! Plus, it helped me over a plateau. Now I actually prefer the running to walking most of the time. But NOT on the treadmill. I like to run outside if I am going to run. It's more interesting to listen to music and watch what is going on around me outside.

[LyndaM]

That is so funny and that is me to a T! I would like to like to run but I find it so boring. :) But I will work out other ways.

I only run when chased, too! I hate running! :rotfl:

But I will walk, do the eliptical, some exercise DVD's to get my cardio done - I promise! :cooldance:

Just today at WW meeting the leader said...."We are not our weight. We are more than a number." Which I thought was really fitting & so true. We tend to think of that number the scale shows us as who we are, rather than how clothes are fitting, what we're doing physically & how we're eating. It's a good way to think of it as just a guide not so much a deterant you know?? It's easier said than done for sure, but it's still a good way to think about it if you're having a hard time w/the scale!!

NO!
I have hit a plateau and been there for almost a year. I an eat less, I can eat more and I stay the same weight. I have known that I will have do something harder and just not wanted to yet!

So where do you all run? I live in a very busy area and will not let someone see this girl run. I will not torture them that way.

[Kittykat]

So where do you all run? I live in a very busy area and will not let someone see this girl run. I will not torture them that way.

I'm pretty lucky that we live in a residential neighborhood with a 1.8 mile "lap". When I was running I ran as soon as I got home from dropping my boys at school...so there weren't too many people out. Thankfully.

I do carry pepper spray though, more for dogs than for people. My DH was bitten by a neighbor's dog last year so we're more wary than we used to be.

I have to admit that I'm afraid to run while wearing my MP3 player. I'm afraid I won't hear a car coming and I'll get ran over! :p

[jacaluho]

I know I shouldn't get on the scale every morning but I do. Just part of the morning routine, as soon as I get out of bed I brush my teeth and get on the dumb scale. My clothes don't really feel differently yet, but I think today is only like the 4th day I have exercised. I am defineatly (I have no clue how to spell that!) eating less and my water drinking has improved, but I am going to try not to get too discouraged. Wednesday is my official "weigh in day" so hopefully the numbers will go down by then.

[minigirl]

Please count me in, too. I've signed up for the WDW Half Marathon in Jan 2008, and I haven't exercised since May. It is hard in summer with the kids home and the heat, etc. I know.... excuses, excuses. I want that WDW bling though, so I can't get swept and I am not a natural runner. Of course, even if I was, my Pooh Plus shape would make it difficult. :p

[Mom2aPrincess]

I want to join in too...well let me rephrase that I NEED to join in..lol
My best friend moved last summer and she was also my exercise buddy so I've been putting on pounds and getting flabby for a year!! :( I'll set mine for days....I'm thinking I'll set my goal where I increase it each month (maybe we can keep this going??) I'll do 4 days a week in August - 2 walking or biking and 2 one of my workout videos (pilates or the DWTS I'm going to order).

[linanglab]

Okay.... August begins Wednesday! Is everyone ready to dig in and COMMIT!!! I am SOOO ready! My boys begin conditioning for football this week, so I thought while they are at practice, I can run around the park that they practice at. Plus, I need to start on my abs. Ready, set, here we go!

I ran competitively all the way through college, then got to grad school and didn't seem to have as much time for it when I didn't have to go to practice ... it's such a pain in the @$$ to try to start back up again and it's really frustrating me - I think I'd rather start off never having run as opposed to going out for a run and thinking that I used to be able to do so much more so much faster, which is really discouraging :/

[jacaluho]

I only had time to do 2 miles this morning, later tonight I am going to do more. I have lost 1.7# so far. I felt a lot better about myself this morning. I know it isn't much but the number dropped so that is good for me. :rotfl:

:clap:

1.7 is a LOT! Good for you!

My official weigh-in day is Tuesday (don't ask me why I picked Tuesdays--who knows?!). :p I'm curious to see what the scale says. I'm in the midst of a wicked case of PMS so maybe I should wait another week...guess we'll see. :computer:

Oh no. I say weigh in w/the PMS because then next week you'll have a GREAT motivation when you see the number go down so far!! Yes, I know, a little demented, but sometimes you have to play mind games with yourself & that dang scale!! Good luck tomorrow!!

[jacaluho]

My "official" weigh in day isn't till Wednesday but I get on the scale every morning. Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes not so good! :(

[linanglab]

Okay...I cannot use a scale. I will have to go purely on how I feel and how much I excersize and how how my clothes fit.

[jacaluho]

My aunt is the same way! :) But I have to see the numbers going down for motivation! :rotfl:

I'm taking a break from the computer and running up to the treadmill. It's taking everything in me because I have so much work to do!!! But I'm going to be a good girl. Back in 45!

Just went and did my 16 minutes. In the drizzle no less. It has been storming all day so I have been putting it off. It slowed to a light drizzle so I made a run for it, ok , so i dont run but I did walk for 16 minutes as promised LOL

Count me in - I try to go to the gym 3X/week, but lately my routine has been screwed up, so I need motivation to go on the days I don't want to.

Ok my scale is saying I am down 4 pounds since Monday LOL however, that could be all fluid, salt gain and the fact that I ate myself silly on Sunday night LOL. I weighed a bit more than I expected to on Monday when I started WW but they needed a weight so I was honest. I set Wed as my weigh in day and my weight was down 4 pounds. Like I said it could be that I haven't had a soft drink since Monday and that I haven't gorged on a VERY salty food like Mufelletta. Although it was a wonderful motivator :rotfl:
