Ok- here is our spot. I used to post in the 20 Somethings' I Need a Buddy thread, but like Xplora said, none of us were 20 something-lol.

Here is our log. Fourkids and Karen/Hopeful and I started this week, but jump in anytime! 20-30 mins a day 3-4 days a week. Pick Yer Poison!

So far this week I have Monday and Tuesday. Sunday was really just a warm up, I don't think I lasted but 15 mins or so. I am using my treadmill, but whatever you like, walk inside, outside, swim, bike... if you can do it for your 30 mins, it counts-tee hee. Partners optional!

Default Hi Everybody!!!!!

I'm in. I didn't do any sort of exercise today, but yesterday I did do 20 minutes abs and arms and legs. The day before I chopped down a tree and hauled it away. That was 2 hours of labor that had me sweating so I call it a workout.


I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing,
And hangs around in
bars.
Chorus: He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear pappa.
Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels?
Suspendies...and a bra?
...he's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
...he's a lumberjack and he's OKAAAAAAAAAAYYY.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

Okay, I worked out my 30 minutes (Walk Away the Pounds, 2 mile video) AND I started a gym log to try to keep myself accountable. Thanks so much for this--I so needed to get off my backside and start exercising again.

P.S. Anna--if I'd tried to do any more this afternoon, I'd have needed the kitty to help ME! Amazing how fast I got out of condition again when I had worked up to the 3 miles not that long ago.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to check in to see how every one is doing. This is such a good idea. I am so exicted about it.

I can proudly say that I have done day #4 for this week. I have been posting my exercises in my gym log (like Pam) so I can hold myself accountable. Please feel free to check up on me whenever you feel like it.

Great work everyone. We are going to ace this!!!!!!

Do you have space for another to join? I am (why are we all admitting this?!) 30 something. I would love to be part of a group that encourages and helps each other get to our goals.
Right now my favorite exerscise is jumping on the trampoline. (shhh. don't tell my kids, I do it while they are at school!)
Today, I confess. I didn't exercise. Too much going on at the schools today. And does running up and down a flight of stairs and a ladder 20 x's a day count for anything?
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am heading off to Reno tomorrow morning to visit the in-laws.
