**CLOSED** New Year, New You Week 2 Mini-Challenge

Isn't Mother Nature beautiful in all her glory this time of year? I do all of my walking outside but it's in the city...not a whole lot of Mother Nature and I've seen more of some people's glory than I'd like to!

We are doing a walk for pediatric cancer research in Philadelphia in November and they are having a rally this weekend to get everyone psyched up and to walk the 5k trail. I'm going to take the kids there. We did it last year so we already know the trail but it'll be nice to see Fairmount Park...it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm planning on taking some great pictures of my babies together while we're there.

managed to get in 2 1/2 miles on the recumbent bike today at the gym... ankle is swollen and that is not to much pressure on it... was not to bad actually then riding my bike home another mile... so 3 in total. (1/2 mile there 1/2 mile home)
Riding is easier than walking right now lol... so will do what I can

I hope everyone is getting a chance to get outside and enjoy Mother Nature in all her glory. There has been lots of rain in different parts of the country this week so that makes it tough.

I have managed to do my lunch walk every day this week which is kind of exciting for me. Last week I missed a couple of days. I even did a longer walk on Wednesday to get hubby's birthday present.. Will be taking the children to Fairmount Park this weekend for the Lemon Run Rally. Will be doing lots of walking while I'm there! I can't wait!!!

I will be doing a lot of walking this weekend. I am taking the kiddos to a pumpkin patch and corn maze if it does not rain to bad.

That'll be so much fun! I want to get out and do something this weekend...maybe a park is in order???

I am so bummed...I am not going to be able to go to my 5k rally today. My husband has been helping my sister buy a car for the past couple of days. She lives in VA and we're in DE. Well, he tells me yesterday that he told my sister to come up around noon and that I will take her to the dealership so she can pick up her new Acura. I'm very excited for her...I really am. Hubby will be at work so he can't take care of this. I have told him all week about the rally. Anyways, I was disappointed and he goes...well she's coming up in the morning because I told them she'd be there around noon. Last night as we're laying in bed he finally asked...oh...when is the rally you wanted to go to? Tomorrow from 10 to 1 in Philly. Oh. I'm sorry.

Thanks! Sorry doesn't change anything. I love him I really do, but as hard as I'm working to lose weight...I wish he'd think of me sometimes instead of getting wrapped up in work!

Was able to get a couple lunch walks in this week. And I just finished a nice bike ride through a local wooded park while the kids were sleeping. But the best workout I had this week was at the birthday party this morning at the bouncy house. Nothing like jumping around and lugging a couple kids up a bouncy house "rock" wall so that they can go sliding down the slide for an hour! Tons of fun. One great "play out".

The pumpkin patch and petting farm was a success. We did not make it to the corn maze but the kiddos still had a good time. Note to self next year leave the stroller in the car. I know I burned a lot of calories pushing that scroller in rocks and mud!!!
