    Am I the only one who uses the message board? I'd like to see more comments on here. There was to have been a challenge about favorite recipes if I remember correctly. maybe we should all send our favorite/new recipes.

    Curves routine Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday I spent climbing up snow banks, working up a real sweat. Good cardio workout I'd say. Tomorrow is weigh-in day as well as my regular Curves routine.

    Didn't get as much exercise in this week because I was struggling with a cold and didn't feel like doing much. I only was able to get to Curves on Wednesday for my weigh in and workout, and today for a curves workout followed by Zumba/ Curves workout. Hope to pick up the pace next week.

    Well! It's been a while, but I thought I'd better 'check in'. I've been getting back at it after a LONG hiatus! I suffered a bout of rotovirus in February, which really knocked me on my *kitten*! Needless to say, the last thing I felt like doing was exercising...so it's GREAT to be back!! Not to mention, Jamie and I are off to Mexico next month which gives me even more incentive!!

    The past 3 days, I've done 30 minutes of high impact treadmill workout. Plus, if you want to count the numerous walks I've been on with the kids the past week, there is at least another 2 or 3 points for those alone!

    I've been incorporating quinoa into my diet, and tonight I made the most DELICIOUS quinoa recipe!! It had tons of veggies, garlic, chicken broth. SO TASTY!! EMail me if you'd like the recipe!

    Hope everyone is well! In case I don't get a chance to log on in the next few days..HAPPY EASTER!!

    mom, you may not have won the Fitness Challenge in terms of total points, but you are still a WINNER. you probably were the clear cut winner in terms of total calories burned. Your motivation and commitment is partly what spurred Aleks and I to create the fitness challenge in the first place.
