Monday May 12, 2003:
25 minutes walking (faster this time, but without the weight .)

I didn't exercise until 9 PM. And I probably wouldn't have done it, but I didn't want to be called a lazy bum by you guys! Thanks!

no problem, good luck today!

Wednesday May 14th

Only 20 minutes of walking, but at least I got out of the house for that. Once again, you guys were my motivation. Thanks!!!

keep up the effort, it's just a matter of building on what you do, andfinding time. although when my minds tired I usualy ride, or walk.

Sorry, I was a slacker on Thursday May 15th
Friday May 16th 35 minutes of walkng

My parents are coming into town for a visit, so I may not get online for the next two weeks. I will still be taking the daily activity challenge while they are here. SO I won't forget about you guys, I just may not be able to login very often. I will try though. But I will DEFINITELY be back after they leave.

Would you beable to keep track in a note book until you get back?

Hi Blaue,

Was just about to call you a lazy bum!!! Until I read your reason for not posting. Dr MO's idea is a good one, to keep track in a notebook - he can maybe post 'away-will post upon return' for you (so people don't think you are just slacking off! ) - which I think is also important for the general energy and motivation of the group.

Meanwhile, keep up the good work!

Saturday May 17: SLACKER (but I did spend 4 hours cleaning the house! It was very dirty )
Sunday May 18: 30 minutes walking
Monday May 19: 25 minutes jogging, 25 minutes of lifting weights working arms (machines, not free weights)
Tuesday May 20: 25 minutes cardio (elliptical machine) ... does 1 hour scraping wallpaper off my kitchen wall count???

no, but great work on the week, your keeping up, very well done.

Hello DoctorMO! I wanted to say thank you for hosting this site. You guys really are keeping my motivation up. I do feel better and happier and less short-tempered with my kids. After I get good and into to the exercise habit, I will start working on my love of sweet things habit. I'm a sucker for cookies and the like. I could easily pass up Belgian chocolate for a properly made brownie. Mmmmm. One thing at a time, for now I'm cutting out eating after dinner.

Wednesday May 21: 25 minutes walking (3 hours scrubbing the wallpaper glue with all my might. (my arms/neck/shoulders are still killing me... you don't really have to put that one up, it's mostly for me.))
Thursday May 22: 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes weight, 25 minute walk YAY!

Brilliant Work, I have updated the Main page, and I think you will be very pleased with my use of words.

Thursday May 29: walk 20 minutes
Friday May 30: none

Sunday June 1: none
Monday June 2: jog/walk for 30 minutes


I know it seemed I was a slacker for a few of those days, but I did do quite a bit of yard and house work with my parents while they were here. So it wasn't like I was sitting on my butt watching TV.

Tuesday June 3: 40 minutes walking

Well done, I can see we are all doing our bit I'm not worried that you missed a few days as long as you feel your keeping up.

-- DoctorMO --

Wesnesday June 4: NONE
Thursaday June 5: NONE
Friday June 6: 30 minutes jogging with an interlude of pushups & arm dips in the middle

OK, so Wednesday and Thursday were sadly not filled with any exercise, but both of my children (ages 3 and 8 months) have been sick and have not been sleeping. So for the past three nights I've only had about a total of 10 hours of sleep. This coupled with not exercising (and a little pms, sorry) have made me very grumpy! I've been up since 3:30AM (I don't know why I couldn't fall asleep!) So i went online around 5 and saw you guys and all your hard work and figured that I could go jogging right now. So I did! Yay! I thought I wouldn't get anything in today because I have a few appointments at inopportune times today. Thanks!



ps I was going to comment that DoctorMO wrote Tuesday for Thursday's activites, but then I realized I mistyped both Wednesday and Thursday in this post!!!!!!! So I have no room to talk.

I'm sorry to hear of your little ones ailments, I wish them well.

I'm pleased with the way things are going on this page, we are getting more active I feel, we just need to keep the none days to a minuim so we don't look silly , what I will do though is put down ill for the 4th and 5th because in effect your family was.
