    I've not participated in any of these challenges before. Maybe it will inspire me to get my lazy butt up in the morning to do some exercising. I prefer to work out in the middle of the day, but no place to do it at work. (Yet. They included a gym in their expansion plan, however it keeps getting pushed back. :/ I think my fellow women would get perturbed if I holed up in a bathroom for 30 minutes to workout. Tried walking, but fused foot bones don't like excessive walking. At least, mine don't.)

    My inspiration for the month is spring wild flowers! The more I am out hiking, the more I will see; the more weight I lose, the less weight I have to carry up mountains with me!
