2008 Challenge

[hazeleyegrl1 0]

i'm a weiner and VERY new at all this. i just started working out for the first time on my new elliptical tonight! so, my goal for 2008 on the elliptical will be 365miles. 1mi/day, considering i will take a break away from it on sundays, and some saturdays or holidays, i think this is a reasonable goal for me. also, i'm 3months post op and doing well at 30lbs weight loss so far.

365 miles in 365 days. i can totally do this! and hope to blow my goal in the Water, but trying to stay realistic as well!

Skinny Pants here i come! Bye bye fat jeans!

I want to run my first 5k in 2008.

I will work out for at least 6 hours each week or 300-400 hours for the year.

I'm in also! My 2008 goal is 438 hrs at the gym which is about 1.5 hrs a day.

It's not realistic for me to commit to over a mile a day (that's over an hour for me), but I will commit to exercising at least 5 days a week. I need to get moving more - treadmill, Gazelle, eliptical, and weights. The real killer for me is that darn eliptical. So how does this work? Report in weekly?

Y'all have got me excited......and thinking.......my goal is for the first two months of the year........exercise 30 min a day 6 days a week. Then bump it up to 45 min.

I can do this if I try. I want to make they weight loss journey a successful one.

I saw this really cook thing by Nike-granted it was their ever consuming marketing push-but it said something like:

I am making a resolution to ________________________ by ________ 2008 or I will ________________ for _______________.

the marketing one said " to run a 5K by june or i will give up my cell phone for one year "

I thought that was good motivation.

So in keeping with my need to be accountable to something---

I AM MAKING A RESOLUTION TO RUN 4 MILES A DAY, THREE DAYS A WEEK-once i have reached that training goal (end of march)-or I WILL GIVE UP MY DVR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

:omg: that means i would have to give up my reruns of late night general hospital during the day. i will have to schedule my runs once i get back to work at some point.

yeah. this is serious. no more excuses for my fat butt to be 25 pounds from goal. this is it kiddos

I love the Nike idea, even if it is a marketing ploy. So here goes -

I am making a resolution to exercise 5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes per day in 2008 or I will give up buying books for six months.

This doesn't sound like I'd be giving up much, but I'm a book addict.

This thread has got me all excited... and I love the Nike marketing thing. So here's mine... I will walk or run 1 mile per day and do 30 minutes of other excercise 3 days per week BY the end of March 2008 OR I will give up books and DVR for 6 months.

I am so serious that I am willing to give up 2 things. And since I am a huge book worm and DVR junkie that some real motivation to get my fat butt up and excercising.
