I have been using a tracking website since October. I am able to log my daily food/calorie intake, as well as all fitness activities. In all honesty, I only use it during the week and am pretty lax about it on weekends.
In general, I am able to make it to the gym anywhere between 3 – 5 times a week for about an hour each time. I’m looking forward to a group exercise & nutrition class I signed up for on this coming saturday! Should be fun!! -

I try and exercise everyday, but taking classes is pretty much the only way to do it. I found a bunch of gyms/studios in my neighborhood that are awesome and range from yoga to dance to spinning. It really helps in a class because you’re encouraged to push yourself. I vow to exercise everyday, whether it be some sit-ups or a full-on dance class!

I signed up last month at a website called sweat365, and it pushes me to workout as much as I can. You enter in what you have done for the day and it gives you a graph that breaks down each workout that you do, calories, and how many miles you have done for the year. It also has a thing to go on your facebook so you and your friends can see how much you workout for the week.

I signed up for a gym near my home, and i set aside at least an hour a day to go. I make it an important point of my day… And like work, I have it set in my mind that even if you don’t feel like going that day, you always feel better after you go ahead and do it. And I always feel energized and accomplished after I leave the gym. And I try different routines or swap up machines so I don’t get bored.

I travel every week. I always make sure that I have some place to exercise whether it is a pool at the hotel, a track to walk or run, some fitness centers will let me pay a small fee to use their facility while in their city. colleges have facilities that allow the public to work out. I try to workout with weights at least 2 hours a week and do some other kind of activity at least 3 hours a week. I eat many Kashi products, fruits and veggies. Yes, I take a day and eat what I want for the most part in moderation. No meat though.

I put my exercise time into my daily schedule just like a meeting or appointment. It is my way of making sure that I have time to take care of myself as well as meeting other daily demands.

I work out for 30 minutes when I wake up, then try to take a 20-40 minute walk at lunch if my workload isn’t too big.

I get up Monday through Friday and spend 30 minutes on my treadmill. I also spend 20 minutes of my lunch time walking, doing sit-ups, and push-ups with 3 of my friends. I try to exercise on the weekends too. I have been going strong since the beginning of the year and I have lost 5 pounds and my pants feel big on me!

This is me last Christmas! I can’t believe I used to be a size two! Well, I am now walking everyday, & doing thirty situps every night. I first found your bars, loved them, then your cereal which my husband & I both enjoy but somewhere I found your Go lean vanilla shake & loved it! I want So much to get down to my old size again I would be happy in a size seven! Unfortunately, I forgot the store I purchased it at so I guess I will have to buy my shakes online for now. This also gives me a chance to see the new stuff too!LOV EVERYTHING!! Annie

Instead of keeping an exercise to-do list, I keep an “exercise accomplished list”. Every night after I return from my workout, I log on a calendar whatever kind of exercise I did and the time spent doing it. It’s a great feeling to look back on your week or month and to see that you made time for your well being.

i work out every day but friday because we have happy hour! i like giving myself a day to look forward to where i dont have to do anything. ive found that it’s easiest for me to exercise after work. i make sure to drinks lots of water during the way and eat a snack (kashi!) around 330-4 so i have more energy to run.

I found it effective for me to “schedule” a two hour block of time on the days that I exercise. I actually add this “meeting” into my electronic calendar so that I can ensure that I do not have any conflicts with other activities.
