Mid-day on Monday...doing a little surfing while killing time in the Philly airport...

Now that the Challenge is officially over, I want to know how many of you are going to "STICK WITH IT?"
--Did your workouts make you less fatigued?
--Did working out help you feel stronger?
--Are you more confident that you are doing your part to maintain your quality of life?
--Have you been sleeping better?
--Did you see any measurable differences, like Jerry L did in his cholesterol? Any weight changes?
--Do you feel like you've made a lifestyle change you can stick with?

I hope so.

If you are going to STICK WITH IT, let us know.

I worked out both Sunday and this morning. I am definitely going to stick to exercising with the highly recommended goal of doing something deliberate for 30 mins or more at least FIVE DAYS per week.



Just as a reminder, I plan to create a wrap-up thread this evening when I get back on my laptop (where my Excel file is) with all the summary information on all four weeks, plus my donation info.

Casey - I am absolutely going to stick with it!  Like I've said, it's not a "resolution" or a short term "challenge" - but a lifestyle. . .  So yes I worked out on Sunday (first day after this officially ended) - cardio, weights, shoveling the neighbors out, and again this morning cardio and weights as I've got appointments tonight and knew I wouldn't have time for lifting after work.  I also have an agreement with "Snap Fitness" whereby I purchased a keycard and can now simply call ahead and pay by the days I use their facilities; headed back up North on another long-weekend snowmobiling and will take advantage of that again.

Thanks again for giving me the "kick" I needed to get myself back on track!

Casey,

Yeah I HAVE to stick to it .. for Beach Volleyball ... remember -- lots of gals there 1/2 my age and have to be in shape.

I went from 205 to 209 lbs while on Aerobics Challenge!

No so good ...

Well, it is winter, extra outdoor exercise is just around the corner.

I do treadmilling during Celtics games to 'Help' them win .. works about 1/2 the time it seems ... but I keep at it.

Thanks Casey - it was great motivation for me.

Casey - Done.....

I just made my 2 contributions (Operation Smile and Holt International Children's Services) of $175.00.
