I've been finding it more difficult to get time to write up my daily progress reports than it is to acually get out and walk! That said, this past week or so, to get the walking in has been a real struggle for me, too -- find myself swinging from MONSTER Motivated to Oh-Just-Let-Me-Lie-Here... Intervals are the hardest to schedule, I find, because they're more intense so you work up a good sweat. Which means you can't very well sneak them in on a lunch hour or between meetings!! Well, you could, but then people wouldn't want to sit nearby... ;) What a blessing to know that the 20-30 minutes a day that's recommended by gov't health agencies can be divided up into little 10-minute "bites" of exercise time. I think it's really important that we don't beat ourselves up over missed days or whatever, but just to do the best we can with whatever Life decided to throw in to mess with our good intentions! Any exercise is better than none, in the big scheme of things, right? Know what, Jeri?

Makes sense. My neighborhood is fairly hilly so that too would be good changeup exercise. Hope this week goes well with the working out. -bm I never thought about city blocks being ideal for that sort of workout. Makes sense.

Big congrats on your progress! I'd join you in the challenge, but then George would probably pout. He's such a baby sometimes. ;) Have a great weekend!
