Out of shape & lazy Options

[amysmojo]

Everyday I tell myself I want to start working out. But I never do! I always come home from work & get online or watch TV...& spend the rest of my evening doing nothing! Ya...no good! So here is what I was thinking...if your like me & need motivation to work out, maybe we can motivate each other. Whether you like to run, or walk etc. Lets keep track of it & see who can get the most mileage Since you all like to compete I figured this would be a good place to do it. Here is a chart of conversions so you can keep track of your miles:

walk 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
run 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
bike 1 mile = 1/4 mile
swim 1 mile = 4 miles
Rollerblade 1 mile = 1/2 mile

So who wants in on this? Come on I need motivation! It would start today & everyone starts with ZERO miles. We can post our progress as we go & see who can get the most "miles"

Its just an idea I had, if no one wants to do it then uhhh never mind I'll do it alone you lazy bastards

~ Update since March 1st ~

Last Friday (March 2nd) I over did it w/ the running & hurt my left leg. I had to limp around on it for 3 days! Its all better now. But instead of doing 6 miles a day on the treadmill Im back to doing 2. (dont wanna over do it again) My leg seems fine so far. I think the problem was that I wasn't stretching out good enough before & after.

Anyway I've lost 3 more pounds so that makes it a total of 13 so far, yay! It should be more like 16 buuuut I couldnt frikin run I have been doing other exercises though so that has helped. Plus Im still eating healthy so that helps a lot!

Okay... im done, just wanted to share
