if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO CHOOSE 5 FITNESS-RELATED ACTIVITIES YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun growing and expanding (your health, not your waistline)!


did anyone hit their local farmer's market or donate money to a good cause last week?

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I know I just have to make good decision but enjoy myself as well. I didn't hit a farmers market but after finals week is over I'm going to try and go every week!

5 future fitness goals:

Be able to do a pull-up
Run a 10k
Claim my sixpack abs! (haha)
Swim at least once a week this summer
Join a gym and go at least 3 times a week

I know that tomorrow is technically the weigh-in, but I wanted to post because I jumped on the scale this morning and I hit my goal weight! YAY! I haven't been this weight since high school. I still have another 2.5 weeks till my dress fitting so I am going to see how far I can get and then it is maintaining. This challenge was awesome and really kept me on track. Thanks everyone. I will continue to weigh-in and post until the summer solstice!

OK, for the challenge (better get it in before another one come along :-):

I live in a small, rural area and we don't have a Farmer's Market and none of the locals are selling yet, but I did get a Bountiful Basket with some great veggies and fruit in it this time!

5 fitness goals:
Run a 5K with my son (he has just started running with me)
Increase all weight lifting machines in the circuit by 1 level
Start and FINISH P90 (the original...my sister gave me her old DVD's)
Add "extra activity" with the kids at least 2 days per week (hiking, swimming, playing ball, etc). This needs to be a family lifestyle!
Get a bike AND ride it at least 2 times per week!

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that I've been MIA....I got soooo dang sick and it took me a while to kick it, then my son got sick. So anyways, I see everyone has been doing well! I'm so happy for all of you! I have managed to maintain my weight within a pound or two, which I'm sure is water weight. I hope all of you have a wonderful day!
