Good for you Lori. I am afraid I am suffering from the "I don't have enough time" syndrome.

July 8: 20 minutes of yoga
July 9: 1 mile walk
July 10: 1 hour of housework
It's raining today but I am feeling the need to get out there an walk. I watched Extreme Weight Loss last night and it really inspired me. If super heavy people can work out so hard without getting a heart attack or spraining an ankle, I should be able to as well.
I noticed that after regular exercise, how wonderful their skin and faces looked. They glowed. When I used to run (and not that far but just daily) my face glowed, too. I want that glow back!

Lori, I think it's great that you were inspired. I'm kind of in that place right now, need inspiration. That's why I started the new thread on Short Bouts of Exercise.
Just a warning. I know they work those people hard on the TV show and I'm not sure how they get away with it. Please don't take on a program that is too intense. But I'm glad to see your exercising. Keep it up!

I am enjoying it but I need to make it a focus of my day and ramp it up. I need strength training as I am losing muscle mass in my arms and legs!

Lori, I'm right there with you. I am leaving tomorrow for a 10 day trip and I'm not sure how I will manage, but my Mom has a recumbent bike, so that's good.
My strength training is so limited because of my shoulders. I never knew how much I depended on them. Anyway, there's some good articles on my site with strength training ideas.
I'm learning Tai Chi from an online video, but it is a good one. I am finding it motivating because it is something new.

Just returned from a mini-vacation during which a severe thunderstorm kept us indoors. But there were plenty of indoor walking opportunities in Vegas! So we walked and walked and walked and walked.
I will resume posting my daily exercise efforts tomorrow.
