23rd - 29th May - Pledge your points!

[Booklean 4]

Hello Everyone and Welcome,

This is week 3 and we are continuing with this fun way of catching up with exercise.

This thread is for everyone who needs motivation and encouragement to get moving and to help make us accountable to ourselves and one another.

The Plan is to draw up a new thread each week, running from Sunday to Saturday.

You are awarded "Points" for exercise and everyone works to their own ability.

You get 1 Point for every 10 minutes of exercise.

You choose whatever activity you wish.

Each week you pledge your points on board - making a committment to achieve them, and then you strive all week to achieve your own goal.

You keep your own score and at the end of the week you must let us all know just how well you did.

Hopefully, this will be FUN!

We are looking for EVERYONE to join in, so come on and Pledge your points!

Just to say that I am keeping with my usual pledge of 15 points for the week.

Yikes! I am behind. I am going to have to taper way back, from the 25th (today) to the 29th I'd like to pledge 10 points (twenty minutes of exercise daily.) Thank you so much for keeping this going Bookleen! What are you doing for your exercise and how is it working for you? I ordered a couple dvd's and have a big living room that we never use so I'm going to take it over as my gym!

Today I am exactly 1 month post-op and the scale tells me I have lost a total of 20lbs. I have never lost 20 lbs in a month before so I am pleased.

I have a problem with exercise which I think was the main reason I gained the weight in the first place.

I am trying to get back into the exercise habit. When I was younger I played several sports but eventually became a couch potato.

Now I am trying to walk as regularly as possible. i often leave the car and walk to the newsagents etc and count 1 point for every 10 minutes walk/stroll.

I also have 2 beautiful little pups and I also take them for walks.

Hope your new living room gym works out well for you, and gets you loving it.

I hope to continue keeping this thresd going every week, perhaps sooner or later others will want to join in too.

Well if not we can just check in with each other, sometimes having a place outside of myself that I am accountable helps me! Its good to hear that you are finding simple ways to add exercise, making it part of life is what will make it stick so good for you!
