    Hi everybody! I came down with a sinus cold this week and was in bed for 2 days and just getting through work and daily stuff was all I could do this week. Not a great way to end the race that I love so much! Thank you to @MissionEnforcer for all your hard work!
    I was gonna do the sumo challenge but only got 50+ squats in sorry!
    Here are my 9 lifestyle choice's:
    1. Drink my water!
    2. Rest when I need to ,listen to my body
    3. Continue the "rainbow" plate lots of fruits and veggies
    4. 10000 steps per day
    5. Take my vitamin supplements
    6.logging in for journal
    7. No eating after 8pm (limit snacking)
    8. Portion control
    9. I really want to get into a routine of doing Yoga everyday day for stretching and relaxation!

    HI all! I am back & as I said I chose to do a step challenge, this week because I was on a cruise ship all week with lots of steps to climb, up and down. So CLIMB THE INCA TRAIL, is the challenge that I completed. It helped me from staying out of the elevator, and climbing the stairs!

    @darcijojo So sorry about your dog! They become such a part of our families that it is always hard when they go. Count your blessings and that should pick up your spirits.

    I just finished the abs routines and I am going to hit the stair stepper. The snow is almost gone here but it is still cold and raining.

    Challenge #2 I chose Hiking the NaPali trail, was supposed to have a half marathon today but as I came down with a fever friday night and had to leave work early Saturday due to fever there was absolutely no way I could run today, did a very slow 5 mile walk instead. Thankfully, got the abs done throughout the week!

    I tried posting this picture while I was in the Bahamas, but it didn't post. This is Queen Anne's staircase.

    I don't think I am going to get the ab videos done. I am exhausted from the busy week away. (Funny how I seem to need a vacation after my vacation). When we got home late Friday the furnace was not working, so I did not get much sleep.

    I have really enjoyed doing this challenge with all of you. I hope we get to do another soon!

    Heh! Heh! I see now that I only needed to do hopscotching/jumping rope or finding nemo. And Finding Nemo is the arm workout - not the beauty of color. :) Well, my body appreciated the focus on the food. And I got in the hopscotching and jumping rope. It all turned out o.k.

    I have so much fun with this challenge. Every Monday I've awoken saying were am I going and what am I doing this week. I hope I can keep the fun going by trying new things. That's the thing with exercise. I don't want to do the same thing day in and day out. I like a lot of variety.

    Posting for the final challenges. For challenge 2 I did the finding Nemo challenge. My husband and I have been doing the arm workouts every week still so that was a pretty easy one. I just added a few extra days.
    For challenge 3
    1. Continue to drink and monitor my water. I want to get over 80 oz and I've found I do much better when I chart it.
    2. Log my food. Again I tend to think more about what I'm eating when I have to log it.
    3. Continue with the workout videos that I've enjoyed from this race.
    4. Workout/walk at least 5 days a week.
    5. Fresh fruits are my friend.
    6. Strive for at least 7 hours of sleep.
    7. Try and stay away from sweets.
    8. Spend less time on the computer/phone.
    9. I really want to start swimming again. So I need to start going to the rec center near me again.

    I've really enjoyed this race and I'd love to do another one. I hope everyone has a great holiday season and wonderful new year!
