I guess I will go with swimming laps. I did 26 laps in my 25 minute session this morning (about a lap a minute). I am going to increase my TIME to 30, but increase my SPEED and try to do 45 laps. (1.5 laps a minute)

I would like to join in!

WELCOME Laura

Our official start date is July 4th. Right now we are trying to get to know each other.
Go back to page 3 at the bottom to read the main fitness challenge/goal. Let us know what you would like to pick. Try to get it posted by July 5th.

Good lord. I swam in the outside pool today - Olympic sized. I did 9.5 of those laps in my 25 minutes. I think I need to use that pool for my goals - I definitely got more of a work out because the laps are longer - not as much resting time. I'm going to do it again tomorrow and use that as my baseline and then reset my goals accordingly. The only downside to the outside pool is that it's just below the window that all the treadmillers face. Oh well, anyone wants to watch a chubby girl swim - welcome to it! Maybe they'll start seeing less of me over time

Ok, need to update my food log for the day - we're going for sushi for lunch - talk about the perfect lunch (in my opinion).

Love your goal susannah I so admire your will to go to a gym and swimming is a wonderful exercise.

Welcome Laura I hope to see you around often.

ok i have decided on my goal thanks for the suggestion Tobey

My goal is in the nin week period to walk 130 times around the block. That is shooting above 2 times I hope I have not set the goal to high but i wanted to go a little above my norm.

You have to copy and paste the tickers URL and post it when you write in. It will turn into the ticker when you post it.

Let me know if that doesn't work and I will try and figure it out.

For am example here is my walking one
