Ok folks.... I dare :) you to put into writing your exercise goals for this coming week.... Monday Sept 2nd thru Saturday 7th.

For me...

Monday: 1 hr minimum water jogging/walking at the pool and 1 - 30 min walk in evening with hubby :)

Tuesday: 1 workout video in AM. 1 - 30 min walk in evening

Wednesday: 2 -30 min walks, AM and PM

Thursday: 1 workout video in AM. 1 -30 min walk in evening

Friday: 2 -30 min walks, AM and PM

Saturday: 1 Hr at pool again, 30 min walk

Subject to change, but only to do more, or different.... not less! :)

Lets help hold each other accountable!! Post your goals, then at the end of each day (or the next AM), post what you really did for that day! Who's gonna join me? Any kind of exercise counts! Even if you are just beginning to exercise, a couple 5 or 10 min walks a day is a GREAT place to begin!

I am also going to set a loose goal for now. 25-30 mins EOD this week. I want to see if this works for me. I started yesterday with 40 minutes of walking. :D We'll see.

My dr. and dietician, have asked me not to exercise right now, because my weight has been to low, but, I have some hanging skin, I am going to dance for 15 minutes a day, as I enjoy dancing, and won't push it to hard, cause I feel I need exercise despite what they are telling me.

Does it count if I just watch Becca exercise? LOL Seriously though, I do need to get back on the exercise wagon, been slacking off lately and not good, so this week I will make an effort to exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes, and work up to 30 minutes twice a day. Next Monday it's back to my aqua aerobics 5 days a week!
