aww thanx hon took me long enough to get here. i hated excercising in the beginning and didn't go near it. now i'm enjoying it more and am watching tv while doing cardio so it's a lot easier and quicker lol! i call it free excercise hehe. i'll 'visit' your diary later. got a bunch of work to do at the moment..uni ugh!

You're doing awesome with the exercise Angel!

So what is your favorite type of cardio? Or how do you get in all those minutes?

I have been doing videos and my elliptical, but sometimes I lack the motivation to just do it - except for the challenge that is.

thanx sweety! should call you sweetpea. my fav is treadmill i think but today and yesterday i used the bike and cross-trainer because i was watching tv at the same time and it is easier with the way the bike is placed lol.
tell me about motivation...i would never do this much if it wasn't for the challenge.

I watch the tv with my treadmill and elliptical too. Or else I have to put some good music on with my shuffle.

I originally meant for it to say sweetpea - but misspelled the sweet part. But I wouldn't have gotten that nickname since it was already taken - so I just stuck with sweatpea.

same here. i used to listen to music until this weekend. i hunted down my LOST season 1 and am watching that now while i excercise. i get really into it and don't reaise the time gone. its brill!

lol! well sweetpea it is now i wanted ANGEL but had to stick with hyphens all over the place lol.

I used to watch lost, but after season 2 I lost track of it.



Awe, thanks. Bellaryna calls me sweetiepea. I did get to use that when I signed up for the Self-Challenge. I originally chose sweetpea because that's what my hubby calls me.

I figured as much with the hypens in your nickname. Just imagine what nicknames people will have to come up with in 10 yrs from now since all the good ones will be taken.

I used to like tv while I exercised, but then I realized that I would sometimes not want to exercise because I didn't have anything good to watch. Now I use NPR, since that's always on, and the consistency is good for me.

for 100 min of cardio. You know, though, that if your team is splitting up the exercise minutes evenly this week, you only need to do 4hrs 17min this week.

You're gonna love season 3 of Lost--and 4 has been excellent so far, too. The plot certainly thickens.

Ang, congrats on the 100 minutes of cardio!! I'm so uberly proud of you.

I think it's aweomse how you can watch the tube while working out. My treadmill is downstairs where no television is accessible, so I've made a 'Go List' on my Sansa, and run to it.

Really chica, you impress the crap out of me. Good work!! I hope you've had a good weekend!

I don't know what NPR is, but I use the DVR (tivo) to record my shows, so there is always something to watch - that I like to watch. However, I used to be able to hit the mute button and read the words - which makes it nice because I could also then listen to my shuffle. But this tv that dh has set up I can't figure out the menu to get it to scroll the words across while on mute. So, I can't multi-task like I'd like to. Also it comes in handy when dh has a business call and I have to mute the tv.

These young girls decided we would all aim for 5 hrs. just in case one of us (probably me) falters in the exercise dept.

Hey thanx for visiting Soph - whats NPR? consistency is good though. i am the same and specially if i miss a aorkout session i don't feel like getting back into it. have to miss 1 today because i am sore from the last 2 days. serves me right for doing too much.

thanks beautiful. yeh we knoe its just that if one of us can't make it in the end hopefully the rest of us will have done enough. and more excercise will hopefully mean more weightloss anyway. who knows the wonders of the body!

i can't wait for season 3 and then 4! i forgot about it. but now i'm watching it again i think i'm addicted again. i've forgotten half the things that happened though. i'm gonna buy the 3rd from ebay soon its only like £25 - I got a 7.50 off voucher .

thanx Rach! i used to run to music but now i use my laptop. it took me a while to figure out where to place it so i could watch it same time as the bike but haven't worked it out for the mill yet. hope you are doing well hon.

You're a Brit, aren't you? I suppose NPR is like BBC Radio, though I've never listened to vast quantities of BBC programming. I'm sure there are differences. It stands for National Public Radio.
