I, Monika, make this contract with myself and my fellow challengers: I commit to staying physically active for the next eight weeks. I will use this thread to stay accountable ... Each Friday, I will make goals and post them. And I am going to do my very best to achieve ‘em, too!

Week One …
I will do my Walk Away the Pounds workout 6+ times and walk outside one day; one day this week I'm going to walk for 80 minutes total.

Recess ...
My perfect exercise partner would be a medium / small dog that liked to walk at my pace. Why?

She'd always be enthusiastic about going outside and getting exercise, regardless of the weather; she'd be great company while still allowing me daydream time; and finally, she's not so big that I'm holding her back or being dragged behind like I'm waterskiing!
