It takes 30 days to become habit CONTEST

Wii-ed this afternoon. Did my usual step routine, then went over to the strength training. Man, that plank is hard!! Going to get a little routine together I can do every day to get some muscles toned.

Also did the bird thing - that is really fun and really tiring!!

Last night DD and I walked the dogs....we have 2 big dogs.... 4 1/2 year old Bernese Mountain dog (we lost her brother to leukemia this past fall) and 6 year old german shepherd/malamute mix that my son adopted this summer.....the Berner, Rosey kind of dictates the walk...it she doesn't want to go somewhere she will just sit down....at 80+ pounds, you can't make her move....so walk was about 27 minutes (does that count as 1/2 hour).....today about 55 minutes total...its starting to warm up....getting to the 50's in the next couple days, so things will melt, but the icy is still scary....so afraid to fall and break something...never seen a dog fall!!!

I still haven't googled "plank" but will one of these days...keep thinking about getting one of those balls.....got to do something with my soft abs.....got an almost 1/2 hour walk in this evening....this morning went with DD selling girls scout cookies, so I would say that adds another 15 to 20 mintues to the day....now I need to total it all up to see where I am at so far....I don't have word on my computer so haven't downloaded the form yet....need to do it on DH computer....but I have been writing my time down in my datebook....if I don't I won't remember...so to be conservative, at a minumum of 30 min/day, that would put me at least at 300 minutes....I'm sure it is higher, but till I add it up, don't know for sure....but this challenge, has kind of kept me going when I think about slacking off....thanks....now just need to get to twice/day....

Hugs, Kerry.  You will be in my prayers for calm & uneventful.  I laughed at your "he talks too much" on the wii.  I swear at him when he's telling me "I think your hips and chest are dropping".  I think the words "bite me" and "kiss off" have popped out of my mouth. 

woo hoo, pinned!! 

Good luck tomorrow Kerry.  Methinks you are perfectly fine, but yes, just going for an appt. is freaky! 

I saw my onc. today about the zometa prescipt. and I was freaked just for that appt.  I'm backpedalling a bit on the zometa.  I don't know what to do... I'll give it some time.

So excited we now have 2 babies on the way here!

Kerry- Sending you calming vibes.  It will be over quick enough (yeah and we all know how freaked I was last week).  SO BORING BORING BORING followed by some exercise and a bragging post how awesome you are!!!!!

Melissa, we expect a report in every other day     Mary, good job!  I will miss today (with no backup minutes).  I've been freezing all day and have a killer headache.

Hi all,

Wish I had seen this sooner.  I really need the motivation.  I will look end of January to do in February.  Does walking to and from work to the train count?

Thanks. 

Had a great walk tonight....tried out my new iPod....it was wonderful listening to Sir Paul and Carole King while walking....it has started to warm up, so all the snow on the neighborhood streets is melting during the day and freezing at night....so the street is like a skating rink....sidewalks were clear in most places, but a few slick spots....nothing like walking watching the ground....with the music, I may just have to increase my walk beyond 1/2 hour, or see if I can get two walks/day in.....

Cindy....feel better.....hugs....

Bugs - hope you feel better soon.

Karen - oh, I hate it when that happens - melt then freeze. We had more snow last night, not much. We haven't had a big storm this winter yet, we could do with a good dump - be careful what I wish for, right! 

I've never used a pedometer, I've always thought it would be a fun thing to try.  I don't know if anyone has Game Boys floating around, but they have a personal trainer walking programme -  you carry a little thing with you then plug it back into the Game Boy and it tracks your walking.

Anyhow, I did my 30 min this morning. Got my appointment at 9:30 this morning, so at least it will be over with early. Have a good day everyone! 

Thank you everyone so much for your good thoughts. I amhome from my appt - "No Concerns", which I think are about the two sweetest words I could have heard!

That's great news Kerry!

I have just got back from another walk in the snow. It really is hanging around this year and more is forecast. I have several routes I can walk that take me around 30 minutes with snow on the ground. I  try to walk at as brisk a pace as I can manage while remaining vertical. It makes me feel better and now I have the incentive of getting in my 30 minutes a day.

Well done Kerry. Its so good to get those appointments out of the way with no problems. My check ups begin at the end of next week.

About to go for a walk, we need some bread so will get some on the way.

Happy exercising.
