January 7: Day 125 of the 10+ Minute Fitness Challenge

Today's Fitness
I did 98 minutes of fitness today.

Today's Highlights
Today's highlight's were doing a lot of fitness while watching my hometown Cincinnati Bengals lose to the Houston Texans (congrats to the Texans!). Then, after the game I went outside and ran sprints with my boys. I highly recommend this for all parents – really tires them out and makes the day go smoother with better moods when they burn off that energy!

Title: I exercised every day this week!!!!

Message: I just realized something! I exercised every day this week! That''s a first! I hadn''t been doing almost any exercising so this is HUGE!!! I took a 12 mile hike on Sunday, did 1 hour+ on the treadmill on MWF, worked with a trainer plus did some treadmill time on Thursday, and tomorrow is another hike - 8 miles. Way to go me!!! And I''m going to keep it up. Moving the treadmill from the basement to the family room and in front of the TV has been a good move. Oh, and I''ve been logging my calories. And getting a good night''s sleep. I think I''m finally on my way to losing this weight that''s been dragging me down. Hooray!!! We can do this!!!

happy to report I am still within 5 pounds of when the article was first published, although I am up 10 from my lowest. If this is out or all the world to see, I better get busy and represent! I do credit SP for my success and need to get back to using the tools it gives me.

I love hearing when doctors and other health professionals recommend SparkPeople to their patients/clients!

BODI153 said 'Bodi153: I am new to sparkpeople my doctor told me about this site. I can hardly belive it is free and so much like other programs that have a fee.I'm t hankful for her telling me about the site if a medical personal can mention the site it must work. I think this is the one for me, With the programs and support I will lose those extra pounds and feel better. THANK YOU!'

Title: Half-way to Goal

Message: I promised myself I would officially "woo-hoo" when I got here and I almost forgot. I have lost 35.5 pounds since I started on Spark People August 7, 2011 when I had 70 pounds to lose. So, I am a half pound into the next half! The "skinny" clothes I put away after "the last big diet" are starting to fit - in fact, when they fit "last time" I weighed a fair deal less than I do now ... The difference is EXERCISE! I broke the barrier to daily exercise on SP with the Ten-Minute-A-Day philosophy and have been doing it daily since - up to 35 minutes 2-3 times a week! Maybe some of the current weight is MUSCLE: I am in a smaller, firmer package! YAY! And THANKS Spark People!
