It’s been hot so I’ve been staying inside working out on my elliptical (I heart my elliptical).
I’ve met my goal and this week my goal has changed. My goal is to now workout three times a week for at least 60 minutes. Those minutes can be broken up. Say, 30 minutes here and 30 minutes there as long as at the end of that day it totals 60 minutes.
The goal change is based on advice that was given to me by my previous pastor’s wife and an article my husband emailed me. Both said you needed to be doing cardio for at least 60 minutes and your calorie intake should be between 1200 and 1500 calories.
The food part I’ve been doing great with (now)(emotional eating is not good for you). It’s the exercise habit I’m trying to get established (and stay established).
The following weight picture was taken Thursday evening when this post was written. I will be busy Saturday and don’t know if I’ll be able to post then so I’m posting in advance (I heart that feature).
Be sure to check out the others progress at Ragamuffin Soul.

Way to go managing those goals and thanks for that article! I may need to change some things around, but the elliptical and I aren’t on friendly terms :-). We have a mutual hatred for each other, but I still try to get along with it.
Best of luck to you in the coming week!
