Well...here I am almost a year later and managed to be at square one again. My motivation is so low and at one point I was going to the gym faithfully 3 days a week, lost over 20lbs and have since gained it back. I am ready to start once again. I am asking everyone to pray for me and to keep me encouraged, please. Also if anyone is in the Los Angeles(south bay area)who wants to help whip me into shape, let me know..I would love a workout buddy. Thanks and have a blessed day.

Acutally, I have been sitting (entirely too much) this past week. Now that school is back in session and I have to work around the kids' schedule it will take me a while to reorganize my schedule (just when I finally had the summer schedule down...) ;-)

I've recently become enamored of the inclined elliptical machine. It doesn't hurt my knees and I burn a lot of calories. I'm working on my stamina so maybe I can do all of my cardio on that machine and can skip the bike. Maybe.

Hi, since we're somewhere in the middle of September I'll need to prorate this: Including today there are 17 days left in September. My goal is to do 30 minutes of cardio a day so that would leave 510 minutes this month.
Today: 30 minutes elliptical Update: 510/480

LOL, I had to get a haircut. It's short and when it gets too long it drives me crazy! The last time I got my hair cut, my daughter did it and she lives 7 hours away! I couldn't wait until she comes to visit again...
Today I didn't skip the gym. Elliptical: 20 minutes Circuit training: 30 minutes Exercise bike: 16 minutes

Thanks! You seem to be doing great also.
On a side note, I'm jealous that you skipped a day and got a hair cut. I so badly want to get mine cut, but my go-to gal is on vacation! Swimming does really nasty things to my hair.
You've got it perfectly! And great job exercising so far!!

Is it just us? Oh well, we're about a week into Sept, so here's where I'm at: Today - swimming 70 minutes (2800 yards)
1700/1202 Did I enter that right? 1700 is my goal, and I've exercised 498 minutes, so that leaves 1202. I'll assume that's the ways to write it unless someone tells me otherwise.

I'm new to this thread, but I'll just jump right in here. I'm training for an event later this month, so the numbers should be uncharacteristically high for me. 1700/1510
I skipped the gym today and got my hair cut. I needed it. I promise I'll make my goal in spite of missing a day.
How about everyone else? What are your goals for September??

Good morning and welcome to September! This is the thread where we post our exercise goals for the month and then track our progress. It's simple: post the total number of minutes you plan to work out all month and the second number is the number of minutes you do exercise subtracted from the first number (see posts below to see how it works).
I invite you all to join in!
I complete overshot my goal for August because I joined a gym so this month I'm aiming for a more reasonable goal: Goal: 1100 minutes Exercised so far: 1100
What's YOUR goal??

Hi Cherilyn. We definitely have CA team members from the central valley area but I'm not sure any of them are doing the cardio challenges. You can be the first one - how about that??
My update is that I rode my exercise bike for an hour last night: 800/570

Hello ...
My name is Cherilyn and I am new to the whole challenge thing. It looks like fun and I would like to give it a try. I have lots of weight to lose (about 100 lb.) and have been exercising more consistently. I'm from Bakersfield - anyone from the Central Valley?
