Weekly Exercise Pledges July 25 - 31

[lovemag]

Come and join us in our Weekly Exercise Pledges!

It's all about giving ourselves the opportunity to meet a challenge, and, whatever happens, doing more than we would have.

Just state your exercise plans for the week then post when you've done it. You can be as specific or as vague as you like in your plans. Be realistic in your goals - if you're not used to exercising or just getting back into it start off small - remember Baby Steps! At the end of the week add up your total and see how you did!

[lovemag]

Feeling guilty Kitkat, it's not fair that I have left it to you for so long
So, a little gift.

Yes, it's big, I am feeling big and pink today

It's hot, hot, hot!!!

Sun - 40 min morning walk, basic plus T-tapp

Inspired by Jehanne and Angelica I broke out the old T-tapp dvd. Thanks ladies, I needed that

I know I've missed a crowd lately so cya all later!

Another Wish List for This Week:

Hi, lovemag, angelica...kitkat, cc, jehanne, all to come!

Walk 5 x
Strength Train 3x

Same story, different week.

[jehanne2]

Ha-ha, like you said, Bama! Same story, different week!

walk 1-3 miles (Make it at least 3x-- that'll be more than I did last week!)
T-tapp 4x

Welcome to T-tapp, Lovemag! Always good to have a fellow-sufferer! Seriously, I did get so sore last week, I almost gave up after the third day. But after a day of rest, I am ready to try for the 4-day bootcamp again!

So glad to have online friends to exercise with! Thinking of reporting in to you all every day, or just seeing what you are doing. keeps me motivated to at least do SOMETHING! And to TRY to keep my pledges for the week. Works much better than just answering to myself.

[kitkat]

OH, so nice to see an early start:) Thank you lovemag Don't feel guilty - doing this thread has benefits
jehanne- you are so right- like I said to lovemag- it's good come and post regularly. At least, it has worked for me.
Bama- best of luck with the pledge
angelica- kickboxing? wonderful - it's a great workout.

My pledge:
return to running X2
SpinningX2
StrengthX2

and if I can squeeze in a yoga session, I'll be happy...

[countrycook]

Back with the reg 1 mile Leslie tape. Was almost late this morning - tyring to fig out where annoying beep was coming from.Disconnected everything with batteries ,finally found an old smoke detector and think that was it .

lovemag- so far the one that's been best for me is the Omron ,walking style pedometer. I like it because it's so thin, you can just put it in your pocket- I have a mini-bungee type cord that I clip it to the outside of my pocket with. Has lately not been as good at step counting,got to find directions to reset it .

[lovemag]

Kitkat, no question that this thread has been great for all.
CC thanks for the feedback
Jehanne, I forgot about bootcamp. Well, I won't have time to do it today, I'll just have to skip BC this time. I do feel a little sore, which is amazing when you think of how minimal it looks.
Angelica, I like your line up. I glad I'm giving T-tapp anohter try too!
Bama, you're too funny

Sun - 40 min morning walk, basic plus T-tapp
Mon - Shaolin class

[kitkat]

WTG Everyone:)
Monday - 3 mile run

[Bama]

Lookin' good, kitkat, lovemag, cc, jehanne!

I walked for an hour with dd11, dd6, and Rani, & Sampson, our two big dogs. We left Rex in the pen tonight since the stray cats are in cages on the porch and he would make them nervous. The cats go in to get fixed and shots tomorrow so Rex can stay out all day and run to his heart's content.

[countrycook]

Well, I tried exercising later in the morning since I'm tired of getting up at 5:30am to do it and it wasn't humid today. It wa ok, but think I like exercising earlier better ,
even though it's been realy hard getting up that 1/2 hr earlier since I haven't been able to get to bed earlier .

Mon- steps were 7830 plus did my 1 mile walking tape
Tues- 1 mile tape

Bama-sounds like a lovely walk
kitkat-good for you, are you enjoying this lower humidity too
lovemag- no problem. This has been one of the better ones I've had.

[kitkat]

cc - unfortunately, lower humidity does not last...
Early morning is the BEST time - I agree...
Bama big WTG:) both for walking and for taking care of those kitties...


Today:
Spinning class (aka crosstraining)

[lovemag]

Quick check in...

Sun - 40 min morning walk, basic plus T-tapp
Mon - Shaolin class
Tues - walked 40+ city blocks, basic plus T-tapp

[jehanne2]

Wow, you all are doing GREAT!! BIG WTG!!
(I was looking for an applause smiley, but this excited puppy will have to do.

I haven't been exactly keeping to my pledge, but trying to make up for it in different ways.

Mon-- mini T-tapp, walked at least a mile in the mall
Tues--walked 1 1/2 miles outside; plan to do Basic T-tapp before bed.
Wed-- plan to do MILES of carpet cleaning, LOL!! (According to WW, this is worth 15 activity points! WOO-HOO!)

(If I don't collapse first. )

[angelica]

Another Wish List for This Week:

1:00 total of T Tapp - (:15 so far)
1:30 total of Kickboxing - (DONE! - And I have the sore glutes, triceps, and abs to prove it! )
1:00 yoga
And anything else that I take a notion to do

Today, I took a notion to go to the gym for a walk/run session on the treadmill and some elliptical work.

[countrycook]

Ok- it's supposed to be humid today so di my walking tape early -1 ile done

Tuesdday - did mile tape , 7250 steps total

[lovemag]

Angelica, now that you've been doing T-tapp for a while, I'm wondering, do you see a difference?

[angelica]

Lovey, Although I have been doing it for awhile, it hasn't been on anything resembling a regular basis at all. Still, I can honestly say that it HAS made a difference for me in terms of strength and especially toning. I don't have those teardrop shaped triceps yet, but T Tapp has most certainly been an asset to me, and one with which I wish to continue.

Today - :45 of yoga

[kitkat]

Quick CI
you are all doing great:)

Sculpting class for me today:)

[jehanne2]

WTG, everyone! Like KK said, y'all are doing great!

After shampooing carpets Wed., didn't do a whole lot yesterday. Took most of the day to go to the airport to get my DH... all three of his connections were delayed. I did do a little modified T-tapp while driving home... to keep myself awake and to keep from getting the TB sydrome...

Fri- 15 min. T-tapp, hope to get a little gardening done.
Sat- aiming for a 3-mile walk.

[kitkat]

Carpet cleaning IS a big job jehanne
I did some today, too.

2 mile run plus 1 mile walk today.

[lovemag]

I can honestly say that it HAS made a difference for me in terms of strength and especially toning. I don't have those teardrop shaped triceps yet, but T Tapp has most certainly been an asset to me, and one with which I wish to continue.

Thanks Angelica, that's inspiring. Just from the soreness, I'm guessing it really will work if I keep it up this time.
Jehanne - T-tapp while drivng!??????????????BTW, I have Basic T-tapp plus and the stepping dvds. What do you ladies have? I'm considering adding to my collection.

Kitkat, I love your steady running. It's good for mind and body, isn't it?
CC, still rising early! Today I hope to find the step counter, I really miss counting!

Haven't had a chance for much exercise this week but I did walk a lot and there is always today.

Sun - 40 min morning walk, basic plus T-tapp

[Bama]

WTG, everyone!

I haven't done anything since Monday. Tuesday I was chauffeuring cats back and forth, Wednesday I was nursing them back to health (mama cat wouldn't come out of her crate or eat for the longest time), Thursday I was lazy, Friday I took the kids to the park and walked around a bit but nothing much. Thanks for being here and keeping me accountable! While it may not be much exercise, just the fact that I can come here and put it in print helps me adjust my attitude and attempt to move more, park further away, etc.

[lovemag]

Bama, one day we have to calculate calories expended for posting. I'd like to know myself.
