Okay folks it's June 1st.

I need to up my exercise. So there's nothing like a brand new day for a brand new start. SO...............I need some help holding myself accountable. My first thought is you guys. My goal/aim/intention is to walk at least 60 miles combined with 15 hours of strength training in the next 30 days.

Does anybody else want to chime in on this?

I've called my Mom and arranged to meet her at the park on the way home to walk this evening. She will not let me back out !!!

When I fist saw 60 miles I was like WOW thats alot!! But I guess that would only be 2 miles per day which is not bad at all!!!

I would love to try and reach this goal as well!! I will work as hard as I can before 6/18 my surgery date. Super excited!!!! What a great way for me to loose and prepare for my big day!!! :)

Sounds like a plan. I'm sure that I'm up for the walking part, I'm not so sure about the strength training, but I know it's something that I need. I know that both Ben and I noticed how much less 'strength' I have now that I'm smaller. 

Thanks for the challenge.

Barbara,
Jonathan and I were moving the living room around last night and he kept saying, you used to be able to lift this and things like that! I realized I'm losing strength as well!

I just posted it on facebook so its offical! LOL I am going to try and do 3 miles everyday for the next 17 days pre-op which will be 51 miles. Then 18th is surgery day and that would only leave me with 9 more miles. I can do that right???? LOL

(I REALLY need to get on the NC board more often.. who wants to be my Post-it note?)

Did you know there is a June DailyMile challenge?  And a fairly large group at that?  Same goal (60mi in June) even.

I'm in that one, actually, to step up my running program.


I wanted to add -- this is my blog entry with my beginning numbers (weight, body fat analysis, etc)
