Another brisk walk with the dog plus some weights, sit ups and stretches gave me 80 minutes today, so that makes for a total of 140/1000. Not a bad start. I just need to finish....
Hooray for all of you! I'm jealous of those of you who can just get out & walk. We live in a place where it's way too cold & not so safe. I'm planning to drive to some park with DD on warmer days where we can go walking. (And I'm begging for a backpack carrier to carry her when she gets tired!
I'm tired of looking at my fat butt so at 8 weeks post partum it's time!!!
10 min walk this afternoon and 30 min of an exercise video and we're off to a good start
Anyone else loosing baby fat? :LOL aren't we all...

I'm thinking about making up a wall chart for this so that i can get a visual reminder to exercise and so that i can see how much progress i've made so far this month. Has anyone does this? And any easy, visually pleasing ideas for a chart?
i'm at 50 minutes so far...30 min's brisk walking on hills, and 20 min pm yoga video.
ps, does anyone else count vigourous(sp?) housecleaning as exercise?
I don't have a good idea for a visual chart, but I picked up the latest issue of the Yoga Journal & they had an idea to get a string of beads (similar to a rosary - maybe just a bead necklace) to remind you of your New Year's resolutions. Then you can finger the beads & repeat your resolution (or some special phrase or just breathe) until you feel your resolve return. I thought about making a string of beads for myself. They wouldn't help you chart your progress, but they would be a good reminder.
I made up a really cool excel chart to track my progress
(I was a planning analyst, so Im a dork
) If anyone wants it, PM me with your email addy. Anyway, I am recording my minutes here, at the Aussie forum I frequent, in the excel doco and in my paper diary LOL I am hoping all this accountability and support will keep me on track. I want to lose 16 kilos by April.
Here's my mins so far
1st 44
2nd 74
3rd 43
4th 41
total : 202
