Weekly Fitness Goals

Weekly Goal - 240 Minutes (40 minutes most days)
Total Weekly Minutes - 260 Minutes!!!!

Monday - 30 minutes Belly, Bohonkus, Thighs

Tuesday - TOO BUSY

Wednesday - 65 minutes - 5 mile Advance Walk - This is another new workout DVD for me. I think I have one more that I've not used yet that I got for Christmas. This one has 1 mile with weights, 1 fast mile, 1 mile with a belt thing, 1 fast mile and then 1 mile with a band (included). You can mix and match the workouts to have either a fast 1 mile workout or a 60 minute workout with a 5 min stretch.


Thursday - Migraine

Friday - 85 minutes - 45 minutes on elliptical and 40 minutes on recumbent bike at the base gym

Saturday - 20 minutes that Mike says I can count for walking around the Stock Show and playing at the Lake.

Sunday - 60 minutes plus - power cleaning - and YES my heart rate was UP! Good workout and the house is clean!

* I barely made it this week. I'm limping along. Mike says that I have to realize that the gym is priority for me....so he sent me in on Friday - his afternoon off. I'm not sure HOW to make it a priority - when Bible Study and School are already tied for number 1.  I'm doing better and getting the overall minutes in, but for my health, we are still aiming to do at least 40 minutes each DAY, not 80 minutes every other day. ARGH.

This is a good spot to mention that I lost 5 lbs in Feb. Still 15 lbs away from where I was when my thyroid hiccupped., but I'm starting back down. ::snort::

Go here for this week's participant links. (I think) If not look for a Monday post with the above logo and you're there. LOL

I am in awe!!

I do find it rather interesting that your migraine comes after a heavy workout! hmmmm.... *grin*

LOL Kristine...BEFORE a heavy workout too. ::snort::

Seriously, having several doctors tell me I am going to have to work to be here for Stacia's wedding motivated me to workout - but making it a priority is still tough.

Wow....getting news like that from a doctor would be a bit sobering. I am praying that we are all successful at this workout thang!

Keep up the good work, De'Etta. I'm also trying to figure out how to make exercise a priority too. Please share as you find solutions/ideas that are helpful.

You're an animal. 40 minutes a day! In Jan. I bought an exercise ball & dvd which took 90 min and I did it 3x a week, and that was NOT good! I'm only doing 15 & 20 min videos. Or else I would have QUIT!

That priority thing is the real stickler isn't it? I try not to let myself do anything until the quiet time and exercise are done. It kinda makes you hurry when you get hungry for breakfast.

You're doing great!

You are doing great, D! I realize you have extra motivation, but a lot of people wouldn't do it even with those Drs. tough words.

Keep up the great work!

Well....Debbie...first I got mad and then pitied myself....now I'm going to have to just roll up my sleeves and get busy. I'll continue to pray that God blesses my efforts and heals my body. I'll eat the right things, take the right supplements, workout six days a week and take my silly meds.....I plan to do whatever I can to insure I'm in good health.

Mike is right that I need to make it a priority - I'm just not sure HOW to do that quite yet. LOL

Buffalorock - I do the same with Bible Reading and Studying. I was doing exercise too but then school wasn't getting done....I've got to figure out where it fits in the schedule and put it in Outlook. I've got it down on Wed and Thursday - so those are "sure" days. LOL
