1653/1700

I really didn't want to get out of bed to go to the Y this morning, but knew if I wanted to make my minutes I better! For sure I'll make it now!!

 

[glss1/2fll]

So I calculated the points I would earn for my steps then said that every point was 10 minutes. If anyone thinks I should do this differently, let me know.

2/11 - 20 minutes - walking
2/12 - 40 minutes - weight lifting/cycling
2/13 - 20 minutes - walking
then I got sick...
2/17 - 50 minutes - walking
2/18 - 80 minutes - walking
2/19 - 20 minutes - walking
2/20 - 100 minutes - walking
2/21 - 90 minutes - walking
2/22 - 50 minutes - walking
2/23 - 20 minutes - walking

2/25 - 30 minutes - cycling

Leaving me with 1170/900

Sounds perfect to me. I know when we went to DLR and walked all day I just guessed my minutes--no step counts or anything. Remember, this challenge is by you for you. Whatever you think counts, counts!!

I am willing to host next month, if that's helpful! Let me know and I'll start the thread.

I'm thinking, "Marching into March?"

That works for me.

I was going to host again, but I am happy to give it up. I feel like I have been kind of a slacker host this month anyway. Too many distractions at my house this month!

Congrats to everyone who has made their goals! I will update in the morning.

I think I might make my 'revised' goal after all, so that's exciting!

Rose, I don't want to take it if you want it. I just noticed that a new person seems to volunteer each month so my inner humanitarian spoke up! Haha.

This is a good month for it, I'm making good time with my independent study so a good distraction seems in order...

No, please take it. What I meant was, since no one had offered and I hadn't asked....but this is perfect! You offered and I don't have to ask. It's all good. I am suffering a major case of the winter blahs, but since I now have permission to increase my workouts from the pt, I can put my energy there in March instead of doing online stuff.

Thank you for volunteering to host!

Winter blahs for sure. Ugh. I love the snow but I'm tired of not having places to run safely without driving somewhere. I guess you can always dive into the snowbank if a car comes at you?

 

[mrsdrake625]

You can see it here!

I know I didn't make my goal this month, but that doesn't mean I can't try again! Congratulations to everyone who has made goal or is on track!

Hope to see everyone again next month.

I second (or is it third) the winter blahs! I was looking back at my log and saw that I had my first warmer spring run march 15 last year. Only 17 days away!!! Of course we had freakishly warm march last year and I would prefer it to stay cooler.. We couldn't go apple picking in the fall because the spring frost killed the crops.

Thanks for volunteering to host. It's so much fun!

Oops forgot to report my minutes. 15 min of leg pt so far tonight. Hoping to do a little more once ds is asleep!
