Hell yea, that's the plan! Thanks for the encouragement, I think posting here has really made a difference in my commitment this time around! 
Now this is not meant as a gotchu or anything but im honestly curious. Shouldnt you take break days once in a while for the muscles to rest / regen ? Im a complete layman when it comes to fitness which is why im asking. Only started working out a couple of months ago.
I think that only really applies if you're doing intensive exercise for say two-three hours a day.
No idea tbh. I am a complete amateur, I'm just following the ol' 30 minutes of moderate activity a day guideline that I've heard from a few places. I'm not doing any serious weight lifting or intense runs, when I started rowing I most likely was in danger of trying to do too much too fast, but I took some advice from here and slowed down to a more sustainable pace.
I'm mainly going off vibes though. So far rowing every day is feeling better and better, but I've also been sticking to a more moderate pace. If I start feeling like I've plateaued or I'm going downhill I'll revisit my program but as it is I've been feeling good so I figure I'll stick to it.
