Round 4 | Final Call For Miles

Round 4 should end tomorrow but with tomorrow being Easter, I thought I would put the call up today.

First, however, something is not right with Blogger the last few days and I can’t update the list of people and their miles. This is what I have for everyone (as of the last call for miles):

Ali 32/100

Amanda D 55/100

Cheryl 31/100

Darilyn 71/100

Heather H. 6/100

Kara 92/100

Melody 220/225

Michelle R. 129/100

Stacy 53/300

Timber 86/100

We lost more people along the way this time…probably a combination of things – weather, the day of the week the call comes, etc.

Round 5 is looking promising though so stay tuned!

Here we are at the final call for miles for Round 4.

Thank you to those of you that stuck with it to the end! I know you have worked hard, and it is exciting to see you reach your goal.

I reeaaallly struggled this round. I’m looking forward to good outdoor work out weather.

Let me know how many miles you got this week (be sure to include Sundays!) in the comments.

Happy Easter! See you Monday for the start of Round 5!

Call For Miles | Week 12

How was your week? I’ve really struggled this time around. Not sure why… Hoping to finish strong, though.

Leave me a comment with your miles, and let me know if you are in for another round. It would start on April 1.

Call For Miles | Weeks 10 & 11

It has been a crazy two weeks here at our house. First, we had a grandpa pass away and made a quick trip home for the funeral. Then the day after we got home was the beginning of my big volunteer project that I do every year – the book fair. I was exhausted all week and totally forgot about a call for miles last week. My apologies.

So, how did the last two weeks go for you? I am really struggling this time around. I am disappointed in myself, honestly. So this week I going to change the focus of my energy.

Let me know your miles for the last two weeks and I’ll get them updated. We have two more calls – one next week and one Easter Sunday. Round 5 will start on April 1 (but only if people are interested still!).

When you are feeling like you can’t make the time to exercise, remember that the sacrifice you make is worth it for your well-being, which makes it a victory!

It seems like we’ve lost more people along the way this time around than normal. Remind your friends to check in!

How was your week?

I had a good week. I tried a new class at the gym, some friends invited me to play basketball and I got together with my relay team for a quick training walk.

Be sure to check in with your miles!

Have a great week!

Call for Miles | Week 8

It’s the end of WEEK 8!

I can’t believe that we have been at this for almost a year.

How was your week?

I had a pretty good week and I am feeling good about that.

Leave a comment with your miles!

Call for Miles | Week 7

Motivation: Hard = Great | Erin Fike Photography - the link takes you to her blog, she posted this on FB.

I love this quote, and I love the way that it is done here. Personally, I think that this quote applies to many different parts of my life. Especially exercise.

How was your week? How many miles did you do?

I find that I am struggling this time around. Getting out has been a struggle but I am very hopeful for the next few weeks. I have plans.

Be sure to leave a comment with your miles and then come back and check my math.

Call for Miles | Week 6

photo(2)

A day late again! Sorry, folks.

We had influenza at our house last week and it has kicked my butt. Trying to get the house & groceries & kids caught up after a solid week of sickness has left me unorganized and exhausted.

How was your week?

My sister sent me this picture. I love it. Too often, I look at other people doing amazing things and I don’t think about the path that got them there. I don’t think about the struggles that they fought through. My mind makes me think that they decided they wanted to this and bam! they were there.

Frequently, for me, I take a couple steps back for each one I take forward – especially when it comes to fitness. The key is not giving up and remembering that success really takes a squiggly path.

Leave me a comment with your numbers for last week. Remind your friends that maybe haven’t commented in awhile.

Call for Miles | Week 5

We are almost halfway through Round 4. Are you almost halfway to your goal? I am realizing that I am not, so I had better kick it up a notch…I am making {slow} progress though.

How was your week?

Leave a comment with you miles. Be sure to check my math!

Call for Miles | Week 4

A day late (probably two since it will be the middle of the night before this goes up for most of you). Sorry, ladies!

Week 4 ended on Monday. How was your week?

After my week of ZERO, I improved. Happy to report that! Still room for improvement, but making a step in the right direction.

Leave a comment with your miles last week. Good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 2

it's workin

source

Today (Monday) is the last day of week 2. How did it go for you? I got to my boot camp class three times, but my-oh-my, I am having a hard time motivating myself to do anything the other four days of the week. It’s cold, gray, and rainy here which makes me want to snuggle up on the couch and watch reruns of Roseanne.

Let me know in the comments how your week was and how many miles you have. It’s not too late for anyone to join in, so if you have anyone you think might be interested, send them this way!

I saw this on Facebook this week and thought I would share because it made me laugh:

hippos

And, I’m pretty sure it’s true. I feel like a rock star when I am doing plank, but I’m sure I look more like the bottom picture. ;)

Call For Miles | Week 1

securedownload Today (Monday) is the last day of the first week of Round 4. How did your first week go?

Winter is a hard time to exercise. On Saturday, I met with a friend to go for a walk, and the wind was blowing 20+ miles an hour (with gusts much higher) and it was cold so we didn’t get very far before turning back.

Do you have any tips for working out when it is cold and or wet out?

Leave a comment letting me know your miles for this week and good luck in week two!

*I have had some people tell me that they have had a hard time leaving a comment. If you have any trouble, please feel free to email me instead. My email is over there ----->

Round 4!

Happy New Year!

I am so excited to have a few new faces here for round 4. Thank you for joining us! 
Today begins our challenge -- so for the next three months keep track of your exercise and report in on Mondays when I post a call for miles. Our weeks will run Tuesday through Monday this time around. 

Feel free to invite friends to join in - it's never too late to start a challenge. 

One thing about this challenge - I really want you to make it yours. Make it work for you. Set a goal that is reachable. It doesn't have to be 100. It can be more. It can be less. Just let me know if it is something other than 100. 

Push yourself for that extra mile - remember no half miles! Let me know if you ever have any questions. 

Good luck!

Round 4 | Begins Jan. 1



January 1 is just around the corner! I can’t believe that 2012 is coming to an end.

If you have “exercise” as a New Year’s Resolution, then this is the perfect challenge for you. This challenge will help you stay motivated to move.

Here’s how it works:

·        Each challenge runs for three months (Next up: Jan. 1-Mar. 31) 
  •            Each mile you walk or run equals a mile in the challenge
  •           Every 15 minutes of other exercise equals one mile(biking, yoga, tennis, swimming, etc)
  •           There are NO half miles - push yourself to go that extra half mile or another seven minutes and count it as a mile. You can do it!

Each week, I will put out a call for miles and you will report how many miles you did that week.  I will add your name and miles to the sidebar.  Be sure to check back to make sure that my math is correct! Each week, I also hope to post some motivation - something to make us want to move, a favorite healthy recipe, etc.  Feel free to contact me (batnt99 at gmail.com) if you would like to do a guest post.  

Join in and let’s move!

Leave a comment to let me know if you are interested in Round 4. Feel free to invite your friends to play along with us! The more the merrier.
