Just do something challenge - Page 2

jtja · 09-22-2011, 07:11 PM

15 min ab video, some glute work and running around the yard with my kids after dinner.

SherriS. · 09-23-2011, 06:14 AM

I walked on the treadmill last night with my jeans on ~ not the brightest idea

but I walked my mile.

TGIF everyone!

lisabinil · 09-23-2011, 08:19 AM

Morning everyone-doing better and taking it slow. I think I might have a sinus infection that could be triggering the migraines so the Neti pot is on the to do list for today. May try a short walk to get some feel good endorphins going this afternoon. Good to see everyone up and moving.

leisha · 09-23-2011, 09:58 AM

I'm still here checking in but haven't done anything as far as exercise but I'm going to jump right back in tomorrow! I should schedule time for "me" and my exercise no matter how busy I think I am. That's one of the most important things I can do and I always manage to skip it!!!

jeaniem · 09-23-2011, 06:22 PM

2 mile brisk walk
U/B weights

SherriS. · 09-24-2011, 05:52 AM

Last night I did floor exercises since my grandson was with me. I couldn't squeeze the treadmill in but at least I did something

jeaniem · 09-25-2011, 09:18 AM

Yes,Sheri you did something that's what is all about.

Action begets action!

SherriS. · 09-26-2011, 08:44 AM

Walked a mile last night at 9. We were driving home and my DH said you are gonna walk this late? I said yep - I made a committment

leisha · 09-26-2011, 11:28 AM

Good for you SherriS!

and good for you too jeaniem!

I helped my sister move yesterday and I'm sore all over! I was thinking "oh, I didn't exercise" but I realized I did ten times more moving that
I usually do yesterday so I'm counting that as my "something"!!!

SherriS. · 09-26-2011, 11:38 AM

Thanks Leisha! I think moving qualifies

You are sore so you obviously worked out!

Definitely counts!

jeaniem · 09-26-2011, 05:15 PM

2 mile evening walk and some walking pushing a stroller up lots of hills.

Over40 · 09-26-2011, 08:24 PM

I did the Shake Weight tonight.

Just kidding.

I walked 20 minutes on the treadmill at a 5% incline and then banged the heavybag for 5 rounds. Everyone should have a heavybag at hand.

SherriS. · 09-27-2011, 06:04 AM

^^ LOL! I know I wish I had a bag to punch sometimes

I walked a mile after work yesterday. You think the scale would be kind to me but not. Trying not to obsess over it.

leisha · 09-27-2011, 08:50 AM

Wow! Everybody's doing great....except me!

I did drag the big
full garbage can about 100 yards this mornnig and walked back....but
this day is not over yet, is it!!!

Yesterday I just did my housework and laundry and nightly chores but on the livestrong website they give you the calories burned for everything....even sleeping 8 hours so I always try to think of those chores as part of my exercise too!

jeaniem · 09-27-2011, 04:50 PM

2 mile evening walk

leisha · 09-27-2011, 07:53 PM

I walked 100 miles around Wal-Mart tonight!

I didn't get home in time to do anything ..... again....so I'm counting all of that shopping as my something!

I'm proud of you Jeanieml!!!

SherriS. · 09-28-2011, 06:06 AM

YAY! Jeanie! YAY Liesha! I would count the hiking around Walmart too

I did a mile on the tread last night after work. I try to walk faster and farther but felt a twinge in my back so I s-l-o-w-e-d it down.

Filly · 09-28-2011, 06:06 AM

Hello,
I'm trying this same principle. I'm pregnant but that doesn't mean I should get to skip some type of exercise.
I'm trying to walk 15 mins daily on my treadmill and do a set of planks.

leisha · 09-28-2011, 08:10 AM

Good for you SherriS!

You have been so faithful to your committment!!

Filly......

and congratulations on your pregnacy! I have the hardest time fitting in structured exercise time so I love this just do something idea too!!

jeaniem · 09-28-2011, 06:05 PM

Hi everyone! Glad we are all doing something!

2 mile walk

leisha · 09-28-2011, 07:27 PM

I just taught 10 girls, ages 6-12 tonight at church!

Doesn't that count for something!?

They are so sweet but it's a loud little bunch!
My throat feels like I've been yelling at a football game!

Seriously.....another day has gone by with no organized exercise for me! I don't know where I'm going to fit it in, honestly!

Tomorrow is another day!!

I am proud of you and a 2 mile walk jeaniem!!

SherriS. · 09-29-2011, 06:07 AM

Yay Jeanie!

Leisha, I know how hard it is to squeeze in the time for exercise! Just remember the challenge is to do something, not pressuring you to do miles or whatever. As soon as I went full time at work it was like how can I find time to walk? I have to make myself do it when I come home normally.

I walked one mile.

jeaniem · 09-29-2011, 05:29 PM

Leslie walking dvd using weighted belt and dumbells for upperbody & squats.Some butt work with fitball total 50 mins!

Leisha- You are busy by nature doing lots for others and seem to give a lot of your self.
Fit in what you can and as long as your happy that's what counts!

Sherri- Way to go on the walks. I liked that you added " 30 days" to the do something challenge in your siggie line!

SherriS. · 09-30-2011, 06:21 AM

Thanks Jeanie - I've been having trouble feeling committed to walking regularly so I thought that if I commit to 30 days everyday that would inspire me. I hope we keep this thread going forever though!!

Now I need to push myself to walk more distance wise. I'm having life stress + hormone stress and it's a good way to defuse.

jeaniem · 09-30-2011, 06:31 PM

2 mile walk

SherriS. · 10-01-2011, 05:47 AM

Floor exercises and weights for arms

Go Jeanie!!!

leisha · 10-01-2011, 07:43 AM

Jeanie....Sherri......

You are both such an inspiration to me!

I opened this post this morning and went straight out to walk my mile and took a bag and picked up the trash on our dirt road.....two birds with one stone!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Leisha

SherriS. · 10-01-2011, 09:52 AM

Right back at ya, Leisha!!!
