250 again for me. that seemed to be a bit of a challenge last month so i'll stick with it.

as I said, 30 min more than last month... so that's 280

I can't believe I'm doing this........ but I did it last time around with Atkins, and it was a real motivation to do some different exercises.

With everything else I'm doing, and a holiday weekend for travel, let's try 200 minutes
