Wohoo! I'm in, I'm in! I have 7 weeks until my trip to Hawaii, so it'll be nice to lose some weight/inches before we go!

Re: Sign up for #49 6 Week Exercise Challenge

I'm only committing to 4 days to give me some buffer room if my long runs kick my butt too much. I have a 18 and a 20 miler and I'm a little nervous.

Re: Sign up for #49 6 Week Exercise Challenge

Shoot, I thought I edited my answer, but it's not showing up! I'm committing to five days a week. I'll be in Hawaii on the 19th of January with no access to internet. Is there some way I can start my own personal six weeks today and end early so I can have it done before we leave?

Re: Sign up for #49 6 Week Exercise Challenge

@ontheway2stephsnie, you will probably be doing a lot of walking in Hawaii and that will all count as exercise. Now aside from that... I'm sure I'll fit in your luggage

i've got you at 5 days now, stephanie. as for the early start, done before you leave.... sorry, but that won't be an option for this challenge. however, the lack of internet should not be a problem. just keep track of what you do each day such as walking or swimming and just send me the details when you get back. i'll update the chart.

Re: Sign up for #49 6 Week Exercise Challenge

hey y'all! i'm glad to see some long lost challenge buds and happy to see some names from the current challenge.

in no particular order, here's our list thus far:
gman 4
blueberrylady 4
asoprano1432 3
Tuesday 4
jimmie 48 3
ontheway2Stephanie 5
Mellybeans 4
quotidianlight 4
APanthesilia 4

btw, i've found that some names get a bit scrunched on the chart therefore, i'm going to take the liberty of dropping numbers at the end of your names, shortening where i can, etc.
Stephanie, you will be "Stephanie" on the chart and not ontheway2Stephanie.
