    I am sticking with the same goals this week, 30 days makes a habit :) . I am reading The New Rules of Lifting (Waiting for the New Rules of Lifting for Women to come in the mail) and will start working that program on Monday. I just need to keep focused and keep taking my baby steps. :)

    Hi Mystic..

    Hi EM, Walking and cycling are highly over rated, I get very bored doing it. I have always been a great Lord of the Rings fan. I read a post about this challenge and thought it sounded really cool.

    I use a pedometer for my walking and cycling (I wear it all day) and I am slowly making my way to Mordor. It is a few miles longer to get to Mordor but one never knows what they might meet on such a journey. ;)

    That sounds like a great idea, I may just adjust it for my own sake and walk to the beautiful beaches of Passe Grill, St. Petersburg FL... Might be just the motivation I need.

    Thank you very much.. and good luck on your journey

    Oh Em that sounds fun! I am not sure where you live but I live in MN and our winters are very gray and dreary. That would be an awesome challenge to walk to where it is warm and sunny. B)

    - Back to more aggressively cutting out processed foods
    - Eat a raw fruit and vegetable daily
    - Enjoy at least one vegetarian dinner weekly

    16 days and 6.4 pounds to go to reach 154 by New Year's day. It's getting close and whether it happens of not, I intend to cross the December 31st line at a sprint! :)
