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

When I worked at this plastics manufacturing death warehouse I was sweating all day. After a year there I was down to 186 with my steel toe boots and all my gear. I was happy about that. After I got my job in the IT dept of the school district my weight went right back up to 210. All this sitting, not physically demanding in any form, so I joined a gym with the lady. Its been 2 weeks since we joined and I have dropped down to 197 in full attire, which for my frame is good. I am 5'9" and there isn't much more for me to lose. I have come to terms that my waist will never see size 30 pants, just because my bone structure will never allow it, but I'm happy. It feels good to work out at the end of the day.
