gotta stay motivated
 

Maybe starting a gym log will help keep me moving.

This afternoon, I did the 2 mile Walk Away the Pounds video--really mad at myself since I had worked up to the 3 mile not too long ago, then stopped working out when I got a cold. There's no way I could make it through the 3 mile right now.

But, from this day forward! Needing to post it here may help keep me accountable.

Okay, just finished my 2 miles again. Accountability is what I needed!

Great job doing the 2 mile walk. I still mostly do the 1 mile walk, but have done the 2 mile a couple of times. I have problems with keeping up with the pace of the 2 miles. I figure that I will work up to it in time.

Keep up the good work. And remember, WALK,WALK,WALK!!!!

Thanks again for recommending them.

3rd day in a row--2 miles! Today was easier too. Can't wait to work back up to the 3 miles--then I'd better not stop again. By June 1 I'd like to get the 4 mile and be able to do it.

Day 4, 2 miles. It's getting easier each day.

Day 5, 2 miles, 30 minutes.

Okay, this is getting really boring and repetitive! Day 6, 2 miles, 30 minutes. But, I'm happy that I've made it almost a full week without missing a workout day (thanks to a little help from my friends with an exercise challenge).

Day 7, ditto above.

Missed yesterday--first day I've missed since we started the April challenge. Today, 2 miles in 30 minutes. Tomorrow I'm going to try to bump it up to 3 miles in 45 minutes and maintain that most days--using the 2 mile video in a time crunch.

Hooray! I made it through the 3 miles--and I'm feeling every inch of it! Talk about burning muscles.

Anyway, I feel really good about it--will try to keep it up most days.

Not quite 3 miles today--2 1/4.

2 miles today--I really wanted to do 3 but the asthma is acting up today.

This is day 1 of week 3 in the exercise challenge. I've missed one day during that time--I guess that's pretty good even though I'd still like to be doing 3 miles each day. I'll get there.

I'm having problems with my right shoulder--doesn't want to move certain directions without hurting--ugh, don't like anything slowing me down.

Yippee! 3 miles today! I'm proud of me.

3 miles again today, I'm on a roll.

3 miles. Once again this is getting redundant! But I'm so glad to be doing 3 miles a day--especially today since I've got the cramps from old ugly TOM.

3 miles, 45 minutes. I'm determined to keep this going this time--it's too hard to get motivated again if I ever let myself stop.

Broke the pattern today--mowed (yes with a push mower) for an hour and 35 minutes. I'm not absolutely sure how to count that it miles, but Louise made a statement earlier in my journal that she thought 3 hours would be about 12 miles--so I'm going to count this as 6 miles.

I'm about half way through--will finish the yard tomorrow and count that as my Saturday workout.

I know I sure challenged some muscles! It's time to start seeing some results!

Finished mowing the yard, so I'll count that as another 6 miles--don't need to let it get that tall anymore. It was quite a workout!

Back to the Walk Away the Pounds videos today--3 miles.

3 miles again today. I'm on a roll, afraid to stop.

A little late this evening--several appointments after work, but I finally got my 3 miles done.

3 miles, gotta go--storms coming.

3 miles tonight too.

3 mile WATP! Tomorrow I may try to do this twice, and as soon as school is out I'll try for 6 miles a day about 5 of the 7 days each week. I'm so happy with the inches lost and changes in my BF percentage, and I know the exercise is the key to that. Now if that stupid scale would just figure out it's beat and start dropping pounds too.

Okay, first 3 miles for the day done! Will repeat it later.

Only managed 2 miles for this second workout--muscles are complaining!

3 miles done so far--feel much better and worked most of the soreness out. Will try to do the other 3 miles later today. I'm still undecided about adding a 2nd workout during the week. I'd better decide since tomorrow is a school day.

Managed a 2nd workout, so total of 6 miles for me today--and I didn't skip the stretch this time.

3 miles, once again.

Ditto above. I wish I could figure out a way to make this gym log more interesting.
