    I've had MANY people make the same comment since we've started. Please feel free to start a thread of you're own with the same topic! I'd suggest giving people a few day's notice. Like start the thread and tell everyone that you'll be starting the 21 days on the following Monday or something. This challenge has DEFINITELY made me get out & move on days I had no intention of doing so!

    DAY 13 (6/6):

    EXERCISE: Walking, playing, pushing 6 yr old on swing, climbing on playground, etc.
    TIME: 30 mins (well it was closer to an hour but I sat down here & there so I'll only take credit for some of it)
    CALS: unknown
    FELT: I felt great to be out & about with my niece! We were s'posed to do some other stuff too but once I got her home into the air-conditioning while I grabbed my pocketbook so we could leave again - she wouldn't budge. What cracked me up about this was, a month ago it would have been ME that would've planted my butt in front of the TV and refused to move. But I was rearin' to go!!! :happy:

    QUESTION TO THE GROUP: Tomorrow (Tues, 6/7) marks TWO WEEKS done of the challenge! So only 1 more week before we have formed a new habit that we'll hopefully continue for life! My question is - do you feel you HAVE formed a new habit? Has this challenge helped you? If so how? If not - what would be more helpful?
